Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. Back to work now, which, if you work in a place where you make ice cream, isn’t always a bad thing.
The best thing about Memorial Day, besides the day off and a chance to pay tribute to our nation’s armed forces, is that it marks the unofficial start of the “summer season,” even though the official season doesn’t begin for another month.
The unofficial start of the summer season also means the unofficial start of ice cream eating season. Yeah, yeah, we’ve said it before on here, “Every season is ice cream eating season!” But the summer is the best time of all to indulge in a little extra ice cream here and there, isn’t it?


If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
