We All Scream For...

The concept of ice cream has been around for ages.  History buffs will have heard how Nero ordered ice to be brought down from the mountains and mixed with fruit.  Must be nice to be Emperor!

According to some accounts, Charles E. Menches is credited with inventing the actual ice cream cone on July 23, 1904.  Not surprisingly, there are several other claimants to the title...  However, what is interesting, is that all of these men sold confections at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair.

Not that I care who or when, I'm just happy it's around now!!  It's supposed to be 92 degrees today - eat up before it melts :-)
