The Reverse Method

Now that the weather is warmer (read: HOT!), we've been eating some icy desserts in the evenings to cool off. You also may have heard that there's a HUGE wildfire in Arizona (google some "Wallow Fire" images and you'll be blown away!)...anyway, it's REALLY smokey over here in Albuquerque (yes, nearly 200 miles east of the fire), so we've been enjoying our meals and desserts indoors. With my weak lungs, it's been a bit rough (read: inhalers, inhalers, inhalers!), but I've managed. I've also found that ice cream really helps :)

Carter tends to agree with me that it's not really the ice cream that is the tasty part, it's the cone. Even the weird bright green (or red or yellow) ones that taste like styrofoam... Maybe it's because we're both lactose intolerant, but it's just more fun to wolf down the cone than it is to eat the actual ice cream (or orange sherbet, as shown here).

Carter's "Reverse Method" seems to be just the ticket - see?
Perhaps it's even better if you shove the whole thing in your mouth?
Nope...that's REALLY cold!
Oh well, back for more:
I'm slowing trying to catch up on the blog, but it may be a month of so before I get my act together... :) In the meantime, stay cool and grab a cone!
