National Chocolate Ice Cream Day 2025
Kelly will be excited to learn that today is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day because it is her favorite kind. Got some running around to do today, so maybe I’ll get her some.
Lots Of
When I have bad days, I just eat lots of chocolate ice cream and dance to the Lion King soundtrack. It’s really odd, but it’s true. ~Blake Lively
Special treats make bad days better.
I don’t have quite the fondness that Kelly does for chocolate ice cream specifically, but it’s true that adding a little treat into a crappy day tends to take the edge off.
I was never particularly fond of chocolate ice cream because I found the chocolate to be too diluted.
It seemed like weak chocolate milk in flavoring, but there are some seriously chocolatey variations available today.
I love me some Edy’s Triple Chocolate a lot more than the pale, vaguely chocolate stuff I grew up with.
I added a video below of some luxuriously chocolate-looking DIY chocolate ice cream for you to try if you are so inclined.
DIY
Chocolate Ice Cream 3 Ingredients [No Machine]
Apparently, this guy feels awkward about speaking on camera, so it’s all in captions.
Even so, it’s whipping cream, condensed milk and cocoa powder. The actual proportions are listed in the video.
I imagine you can add more cocoa powder if you want or maybe some instant coffee to give it some punch.
If you want it to be like Edy’s, you can add chocolate chips and brownie bits while you’re at it.
It’s your snack. It’s your Saturday. Make your custom ice cream however you want.
Good Medicine
A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine. ~Ray Bradbury
Simple enough, and I agree that all three together serve as particularly good medicine.
As I’ve noted recently, I’m feeling a bit under the weather and it’s been dragging on for weeks.
Simply put, it sucks getting old.
Stuff you’d get over by dinnertime knocks me on my ass all day and well into the next.
Stuff that would kill you for a day or two is enough to steamroll me for a week or more.
Totally blows.
What also blows is that we’re in 🌞 Social Summer 🔥 and closing in on 🌞 Meteorological Summer 🔥 rather quickly.
Our weather went from a lovely 50s and rainy/overcast to 80s and sunny.
Blech!
Now, I’m going to have to get the ACs in the windows if I don’t want to just loll around in a pool of perspiration instead of focusing on things that require focus.
Of course, since I don’t feel especially well, I don’t really feel like it.
It’s a whole process and I’m simply not feeling it, but if I get the window units in it will take some of the edge off of the hot ickiness.
Maybe I’ll just join Kelly in a lovely bowl of chocolate ice cream and let the ACs wait a few more weeks.
That’s all for today. See you back on Wednesday for 🌽
