DAY 17 JULY 23 aDOORable ENTERTAINMENT

MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT-REGAN- DECLARED JULY NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH and this is  the place to be to celebrate!  Getting taken by our parents to get ice cream cones on warm summer evenings is one of our favorite childhood memories and a tradition we’re having no trouble keeping up as adults!  As summer heats up and Americans turn to ice cream as a way to cool off, over one-quarter (27%) say chocolate is their favorite flavor while 22% each say vanilla and cookie dough/cookies and cream. One in five (20%) say butter pecan/Swiss almond and 17% of Americans say their favorite flavor is mint chocolate chip. Lesser numbers say rocky road (14%), strawberry (13%), cherry vanilla (9%), coffee (9%), pistachio (8%) and peanut butter (8%), while 3% of Americans do not eat ice cream.  COMMIES.  And your favorite is??????????

Hip Hip hooray!
The delicious frozen dairy products of today evolved from the flavored ices popular with the Romans in the 4th century B.C. The hand-crank freezer, patented in 1846, led to the establishment of the first commercial ice cream plant in Baltimore in 1851. Frozen yogurt was introduced in the late 1960s, and has since enjoyed increased popularity.  For  Aficionado's  Ice Cream is one of the four food groups up here.  Take it in a cone, dish, stick or on a waffle.  MMMM.


Ice cream must be part of a religious rite up here.  Ice Cream shop after Ice cream shop- surely it has to be a near Olympic event in Wisconsin.  Wilson's (since 1906)...you can get the Wilson's Banquet for $15.95...5 flavors of ice-cream and 3 toppings, loaded with whipped cream, cherries and pecans.

My personal favorite is the NOT LICKED YET frozen custard.  Heavy on the egg yolk solids please.  Bubba couldn't get enough of the Turtle Sundae- vanilla custard, hot fudge, hot caramel and pecan halves.  It took him 2 days to work off that Sundae.  Then there's the Pudgy Bunny Sundae- a nest of Oreo cookies, chocolate custard, amazon chocolate shell with bunny ears.   And even better- the SNICKERDOODLE DOO SUNDAE-  2 Fresh Baked Snickerdoodle Cookies Sandwiching a large scoop of vanilla custard covered with hot caramel.    And don't forget the VIKING SUNDAE- chocolate, vanilla and butter pecan custard topped with hot fudge, hot caramel and marshmallow topping along with the cashew coating!  Never mind the Door County Ice Cream Factory with those gargantuan waffle cones...I think the locals have been eyeing us as participants in the ICE CREAM EATING COMPETITION this weekend.



My horoscope read- get out of here before you have to go back on another one of those wacko diets Boca!  Now is a perfect time to take up a new exercise regimen.  Be warned, however, that the struggle will not be to find motivation:  instead, the struggle will be with the Spandex that mocks you each morning.

AMERICAN FOLKLORE THEATER-  GUYS AND DOES


Yes you read that right.  So up Bubba's alley- at the American Folkore Theater- yup back to the Peninsula Park.  An outdoor theater- Boca took a gallon of Off and a Burka.  Advertised as "the hunting musical that promises more bang for the buck".    I had to hand it to our 3 actors getting out there in the woods dressed as deer...


A "deerly" beloved musical for my honey.  A show with a deer ballet? a talking buck? and lots of up Nort talk....youse, dem, deez, tree (three)....Bubba felt he was with some of my family.
Oh yes Bubba, I can hardly wait.  I am sure our recent trip to Broadway will have nothing on this...payback is a @(^&$


And a stop off at the concession stand to pick up your very own Cherry Hat or Hunter Hat...all made by the Actors!


Deerly Beloved?...what I do for my husband.

Anybody up for Lumberjacks in Love?
