Ice Cream!!

I've just recovered from a 1-month dry cough and the first thing I would want to eat is ICE CREAM!!!
Last Sunday, I bought a variety of ice cream from a local store and enjoyed it with my family. I love it! It's really nice being a child sometimes.

Ice cream is composed of milk, sweeteners, stabilizers and water. These ingredients, along with air incorporated during the stirring process, make up ice cream.
Did you ever wondered when and where did people ate the first ice cream? They said it started back at Mesopotamia and Ancient Greek where they mix ice with honey and fruit. Wherever it first started, I don't really care as long as we have great-tasting flavors of ice cream today. :)yum..yum!
