Summer has finally arrived here in NYC. June was cool and rainy.
July was cool, but not so rainy. Then August arrived, complete
with its typical heat and humidity. We even had an “official” heat
wave when temps hit 90 and higher on four straight days. yikes.
Hence, I’ve tried to think cooling thoughts in an effort to maybe
do a bit more than just sit under the air conditioner and vegetate.
And what spells cool more than ice cream?! Of course, it’d be
lovely to have this cool treat…

that I enjoyed awhile back at Susan McLellan Plasited’s ice cream
making demonstration at the William Trent House in Trenton, NJ.
But alas, I have none.
Oh well, this will have to do…

A pretty darn good substitute, ay?! HUZZAH!
