   If I had the choice of giving up ice cream or giving up air conditioning,   
   I would definitely give up air conditioning.  Ice cream will serve you   
   well when there is no air conditioning, but when there is no ice cream,   
   air conditioning is no substitute.   
      
   Today's ice cream is chocolate hazelnut swirl.  With homemade swirl that   
   is much less sweet than Nutella.
