NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS WE CAN ALL KEEP

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Happy new year to all! We hope everyone’s 2009 is going well and with every new year comes New Year’s Resolutions. Exercise more often, read more often, visit family more often…we’ve all made a few goals for the year ahead. But here’s a list of ice cream related resolutions adapted from an entry made here on the Ice Cream Journal last year. Enjoy checking these goals off your list in ’09: 

1. Expand your ice cream horizons. Try one new flavor of ice cream per month.

2. Make homemade ice cream and invent your own signature flavor.

3. Explore ways to use ice cream in drink and dessert recipes.

4. Visit your local scoop shop more often.

5. Eat ice cream for breakfast (not often, but try it…you might like it!)

6. Use a special ice cream bowl and ice cream spoon.

7. Learn more about the history of ice cream and its production process.

8. Visit an ice cream factory.

9. Offer to buy a stranger an ice cream cone on a hot summer day (no guarantees with this one…he or she might just look at you funny and walk briskly in the opposite direction.)

10. Visit the Turkey Hill sampling tent at an event near you in 2009!
