If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
August 2nd is Ice Cream Sandwich Day. Since the early 1900s, ice cream sandwiches have tempted and delighted frozen dairy treat lovers. Ice cream sandwiches may contain chocolate, mint, strawberry or classic vanilla ice cream. Whatever flavor they may contain, ice cream sandwiches are the order of the day on August 2nd.
My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
You can make any meal into a sandwich, and any sandwich into a meal.
Jeff Mauro, a.k.a. The Sandwich King
I found this easy and yummy recipe for ice cream sandwiches on the internet and had to share it with you all today
Ritz Butter Crackers are perfect for these sandwiches because they’re buttery and crisp. The buttery salt combinations pairs perfectly with dark chocolate and crunchy almonds. It’s a play on sweet and salty, soft and crisp, chocolate and chocolate.
Ritz Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches
makes 12 sandwiches
4 ounces dark chocolate pieces, melted
24 Ritz crackers
1 pint Rocky Road ice cream (or what ever flavor you choose)
Melt chocolate pieces in the microwave. Stir until smooth and drippy.
Arrange crackers, bottom side up, on a cookie sheet. Use a fork to drizzle melted chocolate over the crackers. Place crackers in the freezer to chill the chocolate quickly.
Remove from the freezer and place small ice cream scoop to scoop ice cream into the center of 12 crackers. Press remaining crackers, chocolate side down, onto the scoop of ice cream . Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. Wrap sandwiches individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 7 days. How's that for quick and easy.
It's a good day to have a little fun and create your own ice cream sandwiches.
Have a fantastic Friday everyone!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Sandwich every bit of criticism between two thick layers of praise.
Mary Kay Ash
I am trying to count at least 3 things I'm thankful for each day and then in 1 year's time I'll have counted 1000 gifts. I’ll be sharing them and giving thanks to God for these gifts each day.
818. for ice cream sandwiches
819. for easy recipes
820. for fun things to do
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
If all complaints had to be accompanied by the submission of a delicious sandwich then fewer people would voice them while more would be willing to listen.
Michael Wakcher
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Oh how GOOD this sounds!!! I am hosting my annual MiMi Camp for my older grands in two weeks and this sounds like the perfect recipe to make me a GREAT MiMi!!! Thank you so much!!!!
I have not had an ice cream sandwich in years. They don't do them over here. At least not the ones with the soft chocolate cookie outside. I've never seen any kinds actually. I was just saying to my sister the other day how I would love to have one. I'll have to figure out how to make one for myself! Have a great Sunday! xxoo
