On my recipe blog Grandmom's Recipes. Today I have a Ice cream recipe. So to go along with the Ice Cream theme and the fact that the high temprature is suppose to be 88°. So did I just sleep through spring and wake up in summer???? But I digress...What I was going to say is, it seems like the perfect time to share a time line of the History of Ice Cream.
So grab an ice cream cone, sit back and enjoy...
