ICE CREAM
and Other Frozen Treats



Temperature: 90 degrees + F
Humidity: 90% +

It's so HOT here in Peachtree City, Georgia. (We're part of metro Atlanta.) You ask: How HOT is it? It is so HOT our plastic baby pool, filled with water, is melting. It is so HOT forget about frying those eggs, bake a cake outside. It is so HOT that I'm not making one delicious treat in the oven, which is the reason for this feature. I've included and featured several companies that sell wonderful ice cream. If you have the energy to make ice cream, below are several recipes. I've also found some great and weird information on ice cream. Stay cool!!

Companies, Shops, and Brands
