I have developed a taste for coconut ice cream. It's the flavor of this simmer for me.

for a skinny guy, Obama eats a lot of ice cream. There's a photo-op of him every other week it seems, of him chowing down the good stuff

Who paints the Hitler 'stache on a man who takes his children out for ice cream...ON FATHERS' DAY?

I bet Hitler hated ice cream.

The only thing I have in my freezer is a bag of frozen spinach. It's very sad.

Considering last week's article about "poisoning" our children with sugar cereals, we should probably ban ice cream soon. Its very bad for people. And, clearly, even politicians cant control their desire for the hard stuff. ;)

If ice cream were a person...it would cry after reading that. :)

It's ok, make your own. You can cut down on the sugar and it's delicious.

You absolutely must try Purely Decadent coconut milk "Ice cream". Its dairy-free, soy-free, non-gmo. It tastes 1000% better than any ice cream I've ever had, and is mostly just organic coconut milk and organic agave syrup. The other ingredients vary by flavor- in comes in vanilla bean, chocolate, mint chip, cookie dough and swiss almond. AMAZINGLY good!

Purely Decadent coconut milk ice cream is my favorite, too! My favorite flavors are Turtle Trails and Cherry Amaretto. YUM!

You've got to show me more proof than that. I mean, it's probably true, but a little more proof would be a good thing. Some people are hard to convince unless you lay it out for them in exquisite detail.
