If I had my druthers I would eat ice cream every day. However, neither my digestive system or my clothes would agree to that, so I figured I would have to pass on celebrating is National Peach Ice Cream Day.
However, the more I thought about it, the more I figured the holiday creators would understand if I just celebrated the spirit of the holiday. According to Wikipedia, an Italian ice is a frozen or semi-frozen sweetened treat made with fruit or fruit juice. It is similar to sorbet and snow cones, and different from sherbert because it doesn't contain dairy products. There were peaches in the fruit bin of my refrigerator and chunks of frozen watermelon in the freezer. Pulsing them together for 30 seconds in the blender gave me a frozen, peachy delight.

That looks wonderful and cooling on a hot day. I used to love Italian ice. I don't see it here though.
ReplyDelete"ice cream, then polished off the leftovers on"
ReplyDeleteLeftovers? Ice Cream... leftovers?
The older I get the more my gut gets offended by massive quantities of rich food :-(
DeleteMay you have many celebrations, and happy occasions with ice cream and frozen peachy delight!

I'm finding it's a lot easier to purchase ice cream alternatives that taste great. Hope you can find some too.
DeleteA delicious post. Enjoy. Save some for me.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I will.
DeleteThe local watermelons are coming to market this week so my plan is to buy one today. Peaches are ripening quickly in the heat so I know I'll find some good ones in the stores.
ReplyDeleteI was a little disappointed in our first peach purchase, but it's what I get for being impatient.
DeleteReally good peaches will show up late July/early August.
DeleteI know...but I'm a sucker for the 'first of the season' anything (and the packaging said they were from Georgia).
DeleteI would like this!
ReplyDeleteYes you would!
DeletePeaches and cream!
