On a recent Friday night I was off for a late night ice cream run with a friend, whom I will refer to as the Grey Albatross… even though I would prefer to refer to her as the Grey Haven… like in Lord of the Rings where the ships left to sail into the sunset. As we talked and wandered towards our ice cream destination we approached the frozen foods aisle with little thought. We soon realized that it was hard to determine which ice cream we wanted. Why, you ask?
 
Well, you see, as you open the freezer door to take a gander at a certain ice cream, which you soon put back cause you decide to look at a different ice cream, you then realize it is really cold and so you shut the door to look at the other ice cream selections. BUT ALAS, the door is now all fogged up and you are unable to see the ice cream selections. Aaaahh!! Noooo! What are we gonna do about it?
 
I must say that I have thought of this before and we just happened to approach the freezer without the proper respect. I didn’t want to trouble the Grey Haven (Albatross) any further as just hanging out with me is trouble enough.
So. Step one. You see, when you approach the frozen food cooler you must first scan all potential ice cream interests.
 
Secondly, you must narrow down your ice cream interests to maybe two or three. Also, at this time note your selections respective locations.
 
Once you have narrowed your ice cream selections down and noted their respective locations in the freezer, then… and only then, proceed to open the glass freezer door to examine further.
 
At this point you may examine your ice cream selections one by one, noting ingredients and packaging to see if they are to your liking. After you have thoroughly examined your ice cream selections, make your final selection and complete the checkout process at the establishment, store, or what have you.
 
If adhered to properly the above strategy will provide years of trouble free ice cream selecting!
