The temperature is more than just hot, it’s scalding. What better way to cool yourself down than with a heaping ice-cream sundae or other frozen treat?
The history of the sundae is in question. According to www.inventors.about.com, it either originated in Two Rivers, Wis., in 1881; Evanston, Ill, in 1890; or Ithaca, N.Y., in 1893. Wherever it came from, the sundae usually consists of scoops of ice cream, topped with sauce or syrup, then whatever toppings the heart desires.
So long as you stock your freezer with ice cream and other ingredients, any day can be sundae. The Web site www.all-about-dessert-sauces.com offers numerous ways to satisfy your cravings.
