Gianni Zambrano- I Recommend Eating


If you are looking for something that will accompany you through good and bad days, I recommend eating cookies and cream ice cream. When you walk through the freezer aisle at the supermarket and have no idea you will be buying it is the best feeling. You just get the urge of getting something sweet and cold that goes well with pretty much anything, waffles, cookies, cake, fried ice cream, you name it and it will 99% of the time go well with ice cream. 

Knowing you can take such an amazing sweet home and just have it a few steps away from you is incredible. Just being able to walk to your refrigerator, open the fridge and have the smoke of the fridge fill up your area and cool down your arms and face. The hot summer days are always well rewarded  with your favorite ice cream. Having so many problems revolve you but one sweet moment will indeed put a smile on your face. You forget everything that worries you once you take that first cold bite. You are more worried about how sensitive your teeth are to the ice cream but do not care to stop eating it. The satisfaction that you receive when you finally get to taste the cookie after so many bites because the cookie is always to far into the ice cream feels like heaven. You had been anticipating that moment for quit some bites until you got there. 

The first time I tried cookies and cream ice cream was my first summer in New York. I barely knew english, all I knew how to say was please and thank you. My father has always been a person who doesn’t get intimidated by a person or situation. Just like me he has a huge love for ice cream but in his case he loves rum raisin ice cream. One summer afternoon like about two weeks after school had ended. He decided to take me to the supermarket and buy a bucket of ice cream. To our luck we found a worker there that spoke spanish and guided us to the part where the ice creams were, he mentioned to us that there was an offer of two ice creams for about $7 with a brand of ice cream called Turkey Hill. So since we wanted to please our craving we both decided to go with that ice cream and try it out. At the end we got what we wanted even though it was a new brand for us. 

As much as I love ice cream I first saw the true special meaning for ice cream when I was around 14. Its sweetness brought me comfort and stress relief. It has become my best friend when I am going through a hard time in my life, it is my comfort sweet to go to at all times. It has a smooth, creamy texture, that allows anyone to eat it, and a fun fact about ice cream is that it has seaweed as an ingredient of ice cream.

  2. Hi Gianni I liked how you recommended ice cream, and not just any ice cream but cookies and cream. I enjoyed how you wrote about not only the ice cream but the situations that make the ice cream better. Such as eating ice cream during a hot summer day. I completely agree. I also liked hearing about the memory you and your father shared while eating ice cream. I really enjoyed your piece and I can’t wait till it gets warm enough for me to go get ice cream.
