summer's comin'

I was eating an ice cream cone recently and contemplating the differences between sugar cones and regular cones. I am definitely for regular. Where Sugar cones tend to crumble and crack, never have a straight edge and often leak out the bottom leaving you messy and sticky, regular cones are perfectly suited for consumption. First you start by Eating the very tiny edge wetting your appetite for the remainder, this is followed by biting the large protruding portion of the cone which gives your taste buds enough to want to devour the rest in one huge bite- (but you fight the urge knowing that soon all will be as it should and you can lay back in the hammock to soak up the sun.) once again come the little nibbles to straighten all edges. this is a very critical step and must be done very carefully while pushing the ice cream into the furthest crevasses so every bite is filled with the creaming cool goodness. By this time the cone is the perfect size for going into the mouth to be bitten just above the squares at the bottom. Once again you go back to nibbling to smooth the edges before the last bite of all. Ahh! The perfect size so as to cover the inside of you mouth without being too big to be uncomfortable. You smash it with your tongue against the roof of your mouth to release the remainder of that refreshing flavor to every surface inch of your mouth. Total enjoyment! Totally un-messy, and totally worth every minute! Oh how I long for my hammock!
