Do You Know What The 3rd Sunday In July Is?

Jackie Chan, the movie actor, has a favorite. It's chocolate.
If you want healthy, really healthy, benefits, your selection has to have green tea.
J. K. Rowling included "Knickerbocker Glory" in one of her Harry Potter stories.
Do those hints help any?
It's ice cream. And July is National Ice Cream Month in the USA as proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In fact, the 3rd Sunday of July each year is celebrated as National Ice Cream Day.
In the USA more ice cream is consumed per head than any other country in the world, because that's just how much we love it.
Did you have an ice cream truck come through your neighborhood when you were growing up? I did. I remember it was like a big white box on wheels, with two freezer doors on each side. And the man driving the truck was dressed all in white and even wore a hat, like a sailor, on his bald head. There was a bell he rang and when we heard that bell, all of us kids, up and down the block, would ask our mamas for a twenty-five cents. Yep! A quarter! And out the doors we'd head, like a bunch of ants, toward the ice cream truck.
I remember we all stood around Mr. Taylor, that was the ice cream truck man's name, with our arms stretched out toward him, our quarter in our hot little hands, screaming "Ice cream!" at the top of our lungs. He was so patient with us. He'd ask the little kid closest to him what they wanted, take their nickle and put it in a silver metal coin changer he had strapped to his waist, and give them their cold treat. He never failed to pat the boys on their head and hug the girls. And we thought he was the summer Santa Claus.
We have a display near the reading area with books about ice cream. You can also go to the International Dairy Foods Association's website for more details about special ice cream, its production, dairy farming, etc.
I guess my favorite ice cream today is the Dairy Queen Blizzard. I usually have to try their flavor of the month.
But I think I'll wait until Sunday, July 19th, the 3rd Sunday of the month, to make my trip to Dairy Queen and celebrate National Ice Cream Day.
What are you going to do? Maybe make some homemade ice cream with one of those new electric churns from Walmart? Hard to beat, that homemade stuff.
Whatever you do, don't forget to eat your ice cream.
