Ice Cream is suitable to the palate, regardless of the weather.

Ice Cream in Winter It’s 10:59 at night. Temperatures outside remain at subzero, and I’m craving ice cream— the vanilla kind. My body temperature stays a constant 98.6°, so ice cream is okay. I’m searching the cabinet for a crunchy cone— the big kind— one of those three scoopers. Okay. It’s filled to the brim. My recliner makes it enjoyable all the more. Sweet, cold vanilla fills my mouth, while contentment fills my soul. Guilt sets in, but it’s only fleeting. My mind mumbles it away, as my mouth delights in that last bite of crunchy cone filled with melted ecstasy. ©2014 By David Lee Thompson.

David this was such fun, and made me laugh! Ice cream is still one of those foods that make us...even as adults feel guilty...Lets enjoy the odd indulgence...and keep our yearnings in perspective...In these Winter months I crave sweet things too where normally I have more of a 'savoury tooth'...
Hugs, Diana...

The "I scream for ice cream" syndrome described perfectly. Don't you know that it's bad to eat before you go to bed? And especially bad to eat dairy products?

Lately she has been bringing a carton of ice cream around just before I go to bed and I have to sneak a spoonful or two because it comes in almond crunch or strawberry and makes my mouth water even though I'm supposed to be lactose intolerant. The temptation is just too great.
