Okay, remember back when it was still freezing cold in the spring and I
heard the ice cream man come driving around? It's hotter than Hades and no
sign of him, nope, not a single chime from his bell not a single song from
his truck. So while I was at the store yesterday I bought some popsicles..
They are red, white and blue (cherry, blueberry and lemonade) and look like
huge crayons. Ahhhhh, ice cold fake fruit flavour!

I remember when my mom had these weird oval popsicle things made by
Tupperware. She froze Kool-Aid in them and called them popsicles. They
were good but not nearly as good as the real thing. <wink>

Seen the ice cream man lately?

Was she selling frozen G&T's? Inquiring minds want to know.

Non-response:

In places where it's really hot, like Puerto Rico, they don't eat ice cream
to cool down. They drink hot coffee.

Actually, it makes sense. The more you sweat the more your body cools
itself off (by sweating). It's like Arabs wearing dark clothing in the
desert (notice I didn't spell that 'dessert'). But I wasn't making a
political statement. I love a glass of good cold ice water (water from the
tap, not a bottle!) or iced lemonade and popsicles in the summer. F*** the
Arabs... I'm wearing shorts and a tank top. Sorry if it offends your
sensibilities

Just as you should not take a cold shower to cool down.
Makes your body try to warm up.

I'm still not freakin drinking hot coffee when it's hot. Heh.

Last week I had my first popsicle in perhaps 30 years. Chocolate. I have to
say it was pretty good.

It works, eating/drinking something cold on a hot day only gives a very
temporary "cool" feeling. Your body compensates by raising its internal
temperature and overshooting making you feel even hotter.

It is the very same hysteresis effect you will notice with sugar. You
fell like you are dragging so you eat a candy bar. Now you suddenly feel
great because your blood sugar goes up. Then your system produces a
large amount of insulin to compensate for the sugar but since all that
sugar isn't natural it produces too much insulin which causes your blood
sugar to spike low causing an even heavier dragging feeling than before
you ate the sugar.

Give it a try sometime. You might be surprised how well it works.

Sugar spikes are awful! You know those frozen slurpee drinks out of the
machines at 7-11? I love the lemonade ones but within minutes of
finishing one I can't hardly keep my eyes open.

Yup, their "Pop Goes the Weasel" tinky-tune is beyond annoying. This
year, they've finally been forced to tone it down, though, so I can
just barely hear it through my A/C, closed-up house.

Banana popsicles are the BEST. I wish I could buy a whole box of
nothing but banana flavor.

Maybe she just made them wrong. If you're going to make Kool-aid
popsicles you have to make the Kool-aid with only half or one third
the amount of water you normally use. Popsicles made with regular
straight Kool-aid are too watery.

make one of those no-bake cheese cakes, well the filling anyways. Pour
the filling into the popsicle maker and freeze.

cream!

Banana popsicles were always my favorite. Everyone else in the family
like cherry best, followed by orange and grape. I had the banana ones
all to myself, and I think we mostly threw away the nasty rootbeer
flavored pops.

I was just at Dierbergs this afternoon and they had entire boxes of
nothing but banana popsicles. It caught my attention but since I'm
currently the only one in the house who will eat banana popsicles and it
was a pretty big box. I don't know that I'd finish them quickly enough
to avoid freezer burn, when they get all syrupy and sticky and gross.

That's funny Jill, I just bought a box of Otter Pops and some Rocket Pops. I have
heard the ice cream man once in I don't even know how long. They used to come down
our street all the time. It's odd, now that I think about it.

My favorite frozen treat is the Dairy Queen fudge bars. I simply adore them! They're
so creamy and chocolaty and best of all, they're no sugar added so I don't have to
worry about them sending my blood sugar all out of whack! I don't know how something
so sinfully good can be so harmless <grin>
