Ice-cream is exquisite - what a pity it isn't illegal.
-- Voltaire
Without ice cream, there would be darkness and chaos.

Romeo loves ice cream, so he's very happy that the nursing home has an ice cream parlor that's open for a short while four days a week.
While flavors vary with each day, some of the usuals include black cherry, strawberry, vanilla, rocky road, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, fudge ripple, praline, neopolitan, and butter pecan. There are also two or three choices available in sugar-free ice cream.
Romeo's favorite flavor is anything with chunks of fruit in it. Strawberry, black cherry, peach. It's his way of keeping it healthy. We'll let him live his fantasy.
Romeo savors each spoonful of ice cream he takes. His face breaks out in a Cheshire cat-like smile that's hard to discern among the moustache hair, and I would imagine his toes wiggle at the delight of that creamy, fruity goodness. Ice cream is one of the few things left that truly make him happy, and I'm grateful he has it to delight him.
