Gorgeous shots and, as usual, great haiku.

Query: Are creamsicles yellow in Canada? Here, they are vanilla centers dipped in orange sherbet.

Thank you, Denise. They are many shades as the orange runs together with the cream. But I suppose it would also depend on the batch and how much and what coloring they used. Are they name brand or off brand? The possibilities are endless.

Well… the only ones we ever had in the house growing up were mother's and they were the brandname "Creamsicle" – and we were NOT allowed to touch them on pain of pain. I may have a mild aversion to them, I guess. But, I cannot be sure since I also have asthma and must avoid orange food coloring because it causes wheezing. I did adore Orange Crush soda as a kid, but every time I had one, I ended up having an asthmatic episode later – so I just learned to avoid stuff with orange coloring added.

However, in warm weather, I do occasionally make vanilla orange milkshakes with OJ concentrate and vanilla bean ice cream – it's been a favorite of mine since I had one at Disney World as a teenager on a youth retreat with church.

Sounds delicious, Good to avoid the food coloring.

It's easy to make. About 1/6 of the OJ frozen concentrate, about 2/3 cup total (3± smallish scoops) of ice cream, and about 1 cup or less of milk, blended for one person.
