Ice Cream First, Sweat Second

Saturday was a day of sweat and more sweat as i worked on a trellis for the front garden. My first mistake was riding my bike before starting the project. I didn't realize, as I should have, that it was an early morning to almost sundown project. 

So the hours went by one by one. I tried to stay hydrated with fortified water and fruit and failed to stop at Dairy Queen on my way to Lowe's to pick up the "oops" parts for the project.

As I was winding down, sweeping the garage and watering the back 40, my thoughts wandered off to ice cream. What should I have done today that would salve the dehydration?

What I should have done is taken a break then driven a while to get some of my  "gold standard" for ice cream in Michigan. It would have been worth the drive just to get purity in taste and ingredients in a double cone of something.

So where is the "gold standard"? Unfortunately for University of Michigan die-hards, it's in enemy territory at Michigan State University. The MSU creamery is my point of reference for all other ice creams in the state. Have a taste and check the ingredients. Less sweat, more ice cream would have meant a better day.
