Good Vanilla Ice Cream - Turkey Hill, Philadelphia Style

Oh no....  The kid in me wants a root beer float.

There are mugs in the freezer and root beer in the refrigerator.  Even flexible straws in a drawer.  But, alas, there is no Turkey Hill, Philadelphia Style,  Vanilla Bean ice cream in the freezer.

The ice cream is one of those products that Mr. O'Dea introduced me to and I will have to agree that it is one of the best commercially available ice creams that you can purchase at the local grocery store. 

Once in the freezer section, make certain you go for the black box and the "Philadelphia Style".

Super simple ingredients:  Cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and vanilla bean. 

He introduced me to the ice cream served up usually a la mode with pie and I was the soda jerk that would make up the root beer floats to either go with our BLT at lunch.

Either served plain, a la mode or in a root beer float, the texture and flavor will make you as happy as if you were a kid on a hot summers day, sitting on a swivel stool with a longed for ice cream placed in front of you.
