Whole lot more to come and did someone mention peachness?!?!?!?!?!?!??!
On we go....
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... We really don't need one flavor because every flavor is this months flavor. Chocolate, strawberry, snozzberry, vanilla, chocolate chip, cookie dough, cookies and cream, and chip or chunk or crunch, and swirl or ripple or twirl, any berry, any java, mocha or bean (well, maybe not baked bean ice cream but if that's what does it for ya please by all means have at it and knock yourself out. Probably best to skip the lima bean, black bean and refried bean ice cream as well but vanilla with the bean will do just fine) Yes, it is the month that we just salute ice cream in general. Now hold on a minute. I know I know we need a lighter approach as well so if it is kinda sorta like it could perhaps be common to or at least somewhat resemble ice cream I say go with it. (yes frozen yogurt, that means you as well SHEESH!! 
) Any way you like it. Cup, cone, on a stick, in your hands, (which can get a little messy so lick quick but try not to get brain freeze 
) in shake, soda, malt, float, sundae, mondae, split or any other form you can think of... This is the month we celebrate ice cream and all it's tasty greatness accordingly! But, we need to tip our proverbial hat to one flavor this month especially. Yes folks, it's time for the return of the peachness. Sunshine on a cone it is. Tastes like summer to me. Yeah, it's good good stuff. On a hot summer day a little peachness might be just what the doctor ordered. It could be just what you need. Just a few licks, spoons or slurps of the peach goodness and you might just be feeling a whole lot better about everything. So in honor of ice cream month I ask you all to at some point in time this July show ice cream (and all ice cream like substances) the love it deserves and please, really do go right ahead and celebrate accordingly.
