Ice Cream is a delicious frozen treat that comes in many different colors and flavors. Two of my favorite flavors are strawberry and chocolate. Though both of these flavors are delicious, strawberry has pieces of fruit while chocolate usually does not. Even though more chocolate ice cream is sold across the country each year, both flavors taste great inside a milkshake.

The ice cream shop around the corner from my house has the best ice cream in the city. When you first walk inside, there is a long counter with matching stools along the wall. Right where the counter stops, there are booths to sit in. There are lots of pictures on the walls and blue napkin holders on all the tables. My favorite part of the shop is behind the counter glass where they keep all the ice cream flavors. A rainbow of sugary flavors is kept cool and delicious behind the glass.

Freezer burn causes lots of ice cream to go to waste. If you don't know, freezer burn is when ice crystals form on the surface of the ice cream. These ice crystals can ruin the texture and flavor of ice cream. But you can prevent freezer burn. Since freezer burn is caused when melted ice cream is refrozen, instead of eating your ice cream from the container, you should scoop it into a bowl. Then make sure you pt the container back in the fridge immediately. Doing this should help you solve the problem of freezer burn.

Susanna found that winning the lottery can be both a blessing and a curse. After her win was announced, she was constantly being asked for money by family and friends. She also felt like people started to treat her differently. Not all of the effects of winning the lottery have been bad though. Susanna was able to quit her job and now gets to spend a lot more time with her kids. She also no longer has to stress about paying bills or having the money to buy something she wants. Overall, Susanna is still happy with how her life has changed after winning the lottery.
