September prize: The ice cream lamp

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Ice cream is the ultimate comfort food. Some would call it a shining beacon at the end of a long, hard day. Others might claim that ice cream lights up their life one bowl at a time. Well, now ice cream really can light up your life with the ice cream lamp from FredFlare.com.

The ice cream lamp is two feet of luminescent vanilla soft serve goodness and we’re giving one of these gems away as this month’s Ice Cream Journal prize! One commenter will be chosen from all the comments left during September to receive this radiant gift. Good luck!

SEPTEMBER POLL: HAVE YOU EVER VISITED LANCASTER COUNTY?

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Wow, is it September already? This is always such a transitional month. It begins with summer still on our minds and ends with the temperature on the decline and the smell of autumn in the air. Not that we’re complaining. Ice cream tastes just as good in the fall as it does in the summer, doesn’t it? Well, maybe not quite as good, but you know what we mean.

Apparently most of you thought ice cream also tasted good on a deserted island, because in last month’s poll, 64 percent of you chose a solar powered freezer and 100 gallons of ice cream as the item you’d most like to be stranded on an island with. Ice cream easily beat out comforts such as an industrial strength tent (14 percent), a library of your favorite books (13 percent) and a family photo album (3 percent…sorry mom!).

This month’s poll (on the right) isn’t about barren Pacific islands. In fact, it’s about a little oasis we like to call Lancaster County. We want to know if you’ve ever visited our neck of the woods and, if you haven’t, when we can expect to see you!
