July Is National Ice Cream Month!
By M. Miller
National Ice Cream Month is upon us! What is it? Do we really need any special reason to indulge in the world’s favorite dessert? Of course not. But in July, ice cream gets its own special month to shine, all the same. There’s also a National Ice Cream Day on which to really go all out. It falls on the third Sunday of July. The official US holidays were signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. A bit of whimsy? Not at all. Ice cream is big business. Almost 10% of US milk production goes to ice cream manufacture and the industry generates billions of dollars for the US economy. It provides tens of thousands of jobs. And you do want to stimulate the economy and preserve jobs, don’t you? Have some ice cream! Whoever said that there was nothing an ice cream cone couldn’t help soothe knew what they were talking about. President Reagan urged people to observe the day with "appropriate ceremonies and activities." So here are some suggestions on how we can celebrate the world’s most popular dessert, stimulate the economy and have lots of summer fun, too! • Have an ice cream tasting party. • Learn how to make homemade ice cream. (And then have an ice cream tasting party!) • Treat yourself to an ice cream maker so you can make ice cream anytime you feel like it. (Here’s how to find the best ice cream maker for you .) • Treat a friend to an ice cream cookbook. • Test your ice cream knowledge with an ice cream trivia quiz. One question for each day of National Ice Cream Month. • Make ice cream costumes. • Get into shape and lose weight with the ice cream diet. (Yes, there is such a thing!) • Consider becoming your own boss with an ice cream franchise. • Teach your kids some science by making ice cream the old-fashioned way, with salt and ice. For more details, ice cream making tips, ice cream maker ratings and the results of the 2010 Best Ice Cream Machine Awards, visit The-Ice-Cream-Maker.com
