Today in Food History: Happy Birthday to the Inventor of the Ice Cream Scoop

Happy birthday to Alfred L. Cralle, born on September 4, 1866 in Lunenburg County, VA. In 1897, Cralle would receive a patent for his invention known as The Ice Cream Scoop. Cralle's invention, shown above, is still in use today. — Dan Taylor

Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream from Creative Desserts from Betty Crocker (1983)

Happy National Strawberry Ice Cream Day! I prefer strawberry ice cream over most of the other flavors, so today is totally a win for me. Except that we don't have any strawberry ice cream. Today's recipe is brought to you from 'Creative Desserts from Betty Crocker' (General Mills, 1983), which features a clean, easily-readable layout and simple, attractive photos without any fussy art direction. In other words, it's no fun at all. Click picture for full size image. – Dan Taylor
