Prompt:
June 7th celebrates Chocolate Ice Cream Day. What's your favorite way to enjoy ice cream by itself or as a side? Favorite flavor?

-----

Well, then...Happy June 7th, Chocolate Ice-Cream Day, Everyone!

Ice-Cream to me is fun food, and I like my fun pure, so to speak. Still, I'd never say no to any ice-cream if it's served on the side.

My favorite flavor is coffee, although my cardiologist doesn't know I take coffee in an ice-cream cone. He thinks I don't drink coffee and have nothing to do with coffee, at all. So, okay, that's his assumption for him to deal with.

As to the finer point of between having the ice-cream in a dish or a cone, I prefer the cone. Possibly because I assume we people eat food from a dish, mostly. Ice-Cream to me is not food. As I mention earlier, it is fun...it is entertainment.

Talking about cones, I don't like the cones that taper to a point at their end because you can be sure it'll somehow break through that bottom tip and drip on me. I sort of like my cones that come to a full circle on their bottom. Then, the dripping is less suspect.

Why I like ice-cream is something that made me think. I think I like the coldness of it rather than its sweetness.

One reason for this could be because I have an emotional connection to ice-cream. As a young child, I had problems with my tonsils and my mother made sure I didn't have too much or any ice-cream while my cousins were enjoying their cones. This so-called cruelty at the time, made me cry out loud. It could just be that, now, in the back of my mind, I am making up for those tears.

I still can't tell if I was mad at not being able to do what my cousins did or the ice-cream itself or if I was missing the endorphins that was the result of the joy of licking that cool taste on a cone.

Then, was coffee ice-cream always my favorite? Not really. I have liked the coffee flavor during the last ten years or so, which may explain my childhood tonsils-problem's connection to my cardiologist's banning advice, in my old age. It is very possible that I don't take well to no-no's.

Still, my tastes went through several stages, like that of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cherry, mint...Well, it is a countless list.

In short, whichever flavor I have ever favored, I do think ice-cream is nothing but euphoria.
