Nasti D-Light

I am about to admit to something that I never thought I would ever do in my entire, entire life.

Last week, I threw away ice cream.

Yes, ME!! Lover of all whipped dairy goodness.

There's this chain of ice cream shops up here in New York City called Tasti D-Light. I'm always seeing them and people are always smiling coming out from them. So last week, me and my sister went into one because I was craving ice cream, which I do 23-1/2 hours of every day.

She ordered the vanilla flavored; I got the rice pudding. We started walking down the street, each eating our cones. It took us about a block before little sister spoke up.

She didn't like her ice cream. I told her I hated mine, too. Hated it so much, in fact, that we found the nearest trash can.

Mine tasted like whipped cardboard, minus the cardboard flavor. Her's was like eating a shave ice without the topping.

When I get home to Texas in August, Mom has promised to make me Milky Way ice cream. The recipe is simple -- you take about 16 Milky Ways and melt them, add a gallon of chocolate milk, about a quart of half and half, and some vanilla. You whip it up and throw it in the ice cream maker. And tada.

Now THAT's what I call ice cream.
