Your turn to win a free ice cream party
It's that time of year again, Marketing Daily reminds us. Edy's Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute is waiting for your essays, and this year's prizes are even sweeter. In addition to the 12 cartons of ice cream — my winnings fed 80 people last year — there are now four boxes of ice cream bars, a commeorative ice cream scoop and an apron.
If my friends were to follow in my ice cream footsteps, I would be so proud and so happy to eat their ice cream. They could enjoy and chronicle the saga, as this blog did last year: the essay, the victory, the waiting and the party.
One 2008 follow-up to those posts: Last month I bought a carton of the Hollywood Cheesecake I'd enjoyed at the party. The flavor was tasty but, more importantly, led me to limited edition Cookies 'N Dreamz, cookies and cream where the ice cream is chocolate and currently in my freezer.
Yes, you read correctly — chocolate cookies and cream. I'm hoping they're testing the flavor for a permanent run. If that dream ever happens, we can debate regular cookies and cream vs. chocolate cookies and cream. The debate can rage all night and day, and we can consume multiple cartons of ice cream to make sure we reach the right decision. Until then, we yearn.

Sweet Jesus, please never start another post with "It's that time of year again" (grin).
But if you win, I WILL EAT YOUR ICE CREAM. I eat it all!

But if I didn't tell you what time of year it was, how would you know it was that time??
I highly encourage you to be the one to enter this year. I've thought about entering again, creating an entirely different but also entirely true essay, but ultimately I'd like someone else in the world to have that opportunity. FOR ICE CREAM.
