ok someone explain to me why ice cream can't always be soft... that would be so nice... but no, it most be so hard sometimes that you can't get it out of the container with a spoon and when you try the spoon gets bent in half.  but boy do i love ice cream... i can't resist it.  although i honestly believe a good meal is better than a dessert or candy.  much more "satisfying" and "fulfilling"
