Perfect. Granddaughter and her husband are coming over. Pizza, salad, and
ice cream with strawberries for dessert.

Cheri, good luck...it might be kinda hard to top a cone with strawberries, though. ;-))

Maybe 'ice cream with strawberries' means 'strawberry ice cream' in
this case:

Just don't ask what the red stuff's really made of.

Some young guys had been hiding needles in Australian strawberries.
Tonnes of them had to be destroyed because people stopped buying them
for a while.

I used to love strawberry ice cream. Ever since "Strawberries n' Cream"
(Knudsen? Borden's? mid 60's) was discontinued, I've lost interest.

So sorry, N2! Just because it is proclaimed so doesn't mean I want an
ice cream cone. I don't have any ice cream, frozen yogurt or cones on hand.

I do like ice cream on occasion (coffee, and expresso chip) but I never
have it in cones. Just a scoop or two in a bowl.

Yes, there's always that chance. The solution was to chop them up
fine.

All I can think of is someone who has a grudge against the strawberry
industry. It certainly is a good way to destroy it

Yes, it's very damaging. It's not like with bread or coffee or tea.
It's very easy not to have strawberries for half a year.

10 minutes after I read your post I was downstairs trying to make
ice cream cones. The 5th time was a charm (the first 4 will make
excellent crispy ice cream add-ins). I really liked the cone recipe
from America's Test Kitchen. And no, you can't do it in a skillet -
they didn't tell me that!

Ice cream is HEB's "Intense Chocolate". Never really liked chocolate
ice cream until I discovered this Evil stuff 4 gallons ago. It's
packed pretty tight into that tube.

Shit. I just now realized you posted this YESTERDAY. Duh. So I'm
a day late, sue me.

That cone looks very nice. Waffle cone without the waffle
texture. Did it taste that way?

I used to buy a cone from an icecream place here. Even ran a few
extra miles to burn calories to justify that cone. Uncle Harry's
Icecream. not around here anymore.

My cone to die for was...one scoop apple pie ice cream with one
reese's peanut butter cup candy mixed in then served in a waffle
cone. This is what they serve in Heaven if you make it there
eventially.
