Did you know that today is National Ice Cream Day? In 1984, Ronald Reagan named July National Ice Cream Month, and the third Sunday in July (today) National Ice Cream Day. I don’t know how I missed this, since ice cream is one of my four major food groups, but I will definitely devote a few posts to ice cream the rest of this month. In the meantime, here are some ice cream resources I like. You can also check your local ice cream stores to see what they are doing to celebrate. Many offer special deals, and some even offer free ice cream!

I also love making ice cream. The Ultimate Ice Cream Book by Bruce Weinstein is my favourite. His recipe for almond ice cream with almond paste is the most amazing ice cream ever.
