A cold winter day
bowl of ice cream, nuts, chocolate
drip down my shirt front

There once was a place called Full Tilt
Bellies and mouths it filled
With delicious ice cream
That made people sceam
How will I ever fit in my kilt

Icy cold eating
a waffle I am happy
jumping up and down

2008 Ice Cream Olympiad Winners Announced!

2008-02-02T16:04:00.002-08:00

Congratulations to the 2008 Olympiad Winners:

Gold: Nickie (two years running!)
Silver: Jenesse
Bronze: Jme

The event was a resounding success, with over 40 contestants vying for points in the Ice Cream Limerick, Headline, Flavor and Speed Scrabble competitions and the Mystery Mix-Up. Bonus points were awarded to our fantastic crepe-makers, Richard and Dave G-S.

The winning Limericks:

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who carried ice cream in a bucket
He fed it to many a clam
And often his friend Sam
Until one day he decided to chuck it.

He threw his ice cream in the ocean
He was sick of all the commotion
He yearned for a chance to lie
and eat some pie
In lieu of pedaling his dairy potion.
- Kate

With a sugar high I'm not alone
trying to hit the right fudge-covered tone
distracted by sprinkles
I'm adding new wrinkles
tyring to win a gold spray-painted cone.
- Reid

Ice Cream, Ice Cream you are sweet!
Ice Cream, Ice Cream what a treat!
Ice Cream, Ice Cream not on my feet!
Ice Cream, Ice Cream you can't be beat.
Ice Cream, Ice Cream, it's you I want to eat!
-Hannah Grace, age 5

And the winning headlines:

Tiger escapes from SF zoo: can't find ice cream stand, eats taunting teen instead.
-Jme

"My milkshake is better than yours," claims presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton
-Abby

It's Splitsville for Banangelina!
-Emilie

And the winning flavors (creative, innovative, and tasty):

Britney's breakdown: coffee-flavored ice cream with crushed nuts, kahlua, and marshmallow swirl
-Melissa

Baraky Road: chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts topped with a dash of hope
-Dave

Fig-licious: figs, butter, pecan, and a touch of nutmeg
-Nancy

History of Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day

2007-01-14T17:10:00.000-08:00

It's coming Feb. 3rd, 2007!!!
Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day began many years ago and is now the rage all over the world.
See the Official website at http://www.itzahckret.com/icecreamforbreakfast.html
Sharon first learned about Ice Cream for Breakfast Day in 2003 while visiting her friend Bec in China, whose grandmother invented it. In 2005 we celebrated in Seattle and in 2006 in Bolivia. This year as seasoned veteran Ice Cream for Breakfast Day organizers we will be taking the Bay Area, CA by storm.
