Day Seventeen--Oh happy day! But brrrr it's cold today and I'm definitely going to have down some hot java with my ice cream to offset the goose bump factor. Sure glad I'm not doing this in December or in the Antarctic. Though I've seen folks eating ice cream in pretty severe weather with low temps. They are of stouter stock than I.
I've decided to spice up the blog a bit and provide a bit of icy trivia.
The origins of ice cream can be traced back to at least the 4th century B.C. Early references include the Roman emperor Nero (A.D. 37-68) who ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings, and King Tang (A.D. 618-97) of Shang, China who had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions. Ice cream was likely brought from China back to Europe. Over time, recipes for ices, sherbets, and milk ices evolved and served in the fashionable Italian and French royal courts.The origins of ice cream can be traced back to at least the 4th century B.C.

Ooh la la--that's the Ice Cream Dieteer, right there with royalty and so fashionable!
Stay dialed for more churning on ice cream. I'm rollin soon for my daily lunch scoop or 2 or 3 or . . .
