July 3: We All Scream
Yes, here it is a few days later and I’m still screaming for more ice cream. I went through a long period of my life when I didn’t eat ice cream often. I was sure it would pack on the weight. Then I decided that maybe I was wrong. Maybe weight control was more complicated than that. So I started eating it again, almost daily in one form or another. Reasonable amounts but good quality stuff. And I found that I didn’t gain any weight at all. So now I figure, why deprive myself? Life really is too short to give up ice cream. That’s how I see it anyway. Which brings me back to some of my favorite local places to buy a great cone or sundae or whatever you like.

In the previous blog, I wrote about Kilwin’s and Razzleberry’s. Now we’re off to Krazy Kone and Dairy Belle. I was at Krazy Kone on the 4th of July and had a fabulous dish of chocolate mixed with Heavenly Hash. Mmmm! It was excellent! Rich, dark, creamy but not overwhelming. My girlfriend had her usual scoop of cherry and it was wonderful too – loaded with chunks of Washington State cherries. We also sampled some of their refreshing Italian ices, which come in an assortment of fruity flavors. Hey, why not? It was a holiday, after all. Krazy Kone rotates their selections daily, picking from among 100 flavors made by Working Cow Homemade Ice Cream on Florida’s west coast. Really good stuff! And very nice folks behind the counter. You can give this delicious ice cream a try at 411 South Federal Highway in Deerfield Beach. Krazy Kone’s phone is 954-427-7888.

Dairy Belle recently was voted best local ice cream by a poll of newspaper readers. For soft-serve ice cream anyway, it’s surely among the best around. And you have the added pleasure of supporting a nice family-owned business where many members of the family seem to get involved. Dairy Belle offers a very smooth and creamy variety of soft-serve in chocolate and vanilla. Or you can go wild and get the two flavors swirled. Of course, they have lots of toppings too, including sprinkles and nuts and all the usual sundae fixings. I often head there for the malted milk shakes, which are terrific. Dairy Belle also has a large picnic table area, nicely shaded, to sit and eat all those chilled calories. Located at 118 North Federal Highway in Dania Beach, Dairy Belle’s phone is 954- 920-3330. Go there, or one of these other fine ice cream shops, and enjoy! Remember, ice cream is really just good wholesome food, right? Who says you can’t eat what you like?
