冰淇淋是生活中不可缺少的一道美食。夏天没胃口时,尝些冰淇淋,是一个迅速补充体力降低体温的好方法。尤其对小朋友来说更是挡不住的诱惑,聪明的妈妈能在小朋友不愿吃饭时,偶尔改变方式以冰淇淋取代主食,同样能摄取营养和热量,漂亮的颜色又让人产生食欲。
你知道吗?美国每年能销售10亿加仑的冰淇淋,8%的牛奶最终变成冷冻食品。如今,各种各样的冰淇淋店更是遍布世界。现在就让我们一起看看冰淇淋的历史吧。
The earliest reports of people enjoying flavored ice desserts come from the Romans and the Chinese. Marco Polo returned from his famous expedition with fruit-flavored ices, reporting that Asians had been making them for thousands of years. These delicacies became popular in France in the 1500s, but only among royalty. Over the next few centuries, the process of making them evolved from hauling mountain ice to salt/ice freezing methods. Cream was introduced as an ingredient, and by the 1700s, people were enjoying a dessert that was very similar to today's ice cream.
The hand-cranked ice cream freezer was first developed by Nancy Johnson in 1846. Ice was readily available from large warehouses in that era, so ice cream became a treat that could be enjoyed by almost anyone, not just the rich. Ice cream making was revolutionized again in 1851, when Jacob Fussel started the first wholesale ice cream manufacturing operation in Baltimore, Maryland. Fussel's dairy business had excess cream and he couldn't figure out what to do with it. He tried using it to make ice cream, and before long his ice cream business outsold the rest of the dairy.
The business slowly evolved for the next few decades. Manufacturing methods and ingredients improved, while refrigeration technology became cheaper and more efficient. By the 1920s, home refrigerators and freezers became more common, which gave the ice cream industry another boost. Sugar was rationed in the US during World War I, but the ice cream industry convinced the government that ice cream was an "essential food”. Ice cream factories were allotted sugar rations and production continued.
Ice cream increased in popularity until the Depression years caused a drop in sales for virtually all non-essential goods. Sales increased in the years leading up to World War II before leveling off in the post-war years. The rise of the giant supermarket created demand for cheaper, mass-produced ice cream, but quality suffered. The 1960s saw a resurgence in "premium"ice cream, while the following decades saw the market fragment into low-fat varieties for the health-conscious, including frozen yogurt, fruit bars, ice milk, fat-free ice cream, and dozens of other varieties. However, ice cream still makes up about 60 percent of the market share among frozen desserts. While ice cream is enjoyed worldwide, it has become an American tradition
爸爸妈妈总是特别忙,很少有时间陪伴我。妈妈经常去聚餐,去玩,即使偶尔能陪伴我,在家里也是抱着手机看微博,聊微信,没有多少心思在我身上;爸爸在龙湾工作,每天一早就出去了,晚上八九点才可以赶回来。虽然说家里养了一只狗,但却不知道因为什么原因,和我很生疏,关系总是淡淡的,不够亲热。
这个星期四,我独自一个人又被妈妈扔在了家里,连手机也被没收了。完成了任务后,我百般无聊就想打电话给老妈,既然这人见不到那就聊会儿天当作陪伴吧!结果,老妈接起电话便对我说:“哎呀,你要给我一点自由的时间嘛!再说了,你今天的任务完成了吗?”我听了很不高兴:“我任务早就完成了,可是你天天不是抱着手机就是出去,怎么也不陪陪我?”“哎呀,哪里天天喽!一个星期才一两次嘛!还有我现在难得有一点点自由时间,你又来管着我,快点去练琴!”嘟嘟嘟……没想到,妈妈居然就这么三言两语打发了我。
百般无奈之下,我打给了沉默寡言的老爸。“喂,谁呀?”老爸懒洋洋的声音从电话另一头传了过来。天哪,老爸不会连家里的电话号码也不清楚了吧!我只好“自我介绍”了一番后,顺便说清我打电话的理由。谁知,老爸竟然对我说:“哎呀,我现在开车呢,为什么聊天呀!没时间,没时间!”嘟嘟嘟……结果老爸比老妈还要草率,立马挂断了电话,留我一个人孤独地拿着电话。我觉得陪伴并非一定要带我去哪里玩,去哪里吃,我只是希望父母能陪着我聊聊天,说说话,充分享受属于我们的亲情时光。
哎,我觉得爸爸妈妈平日里在家的时间太少,陪伴我的时间太少。也许他们喜欢拥有一些自己的时间与自由,可我却不喜欢,不喜欢一个缺少陪伴与温情的家!
音灰暗的天空下有有时连一只鸟都不愿光顾的阳台。此时,空落的心境会突然升起一丝愁思,使你觉得生活好单调,好乏味。
其实你不必这样,生活就像一本好书,它有它美丽的封面,更有丰富的内涵。
早晨,喷薄而出的旭日渲染着一种悲壮的意境。
一轮皓月,千古常新,把夜晚装饰的宁静而富有激情。冬天飞舞的.雪花、平铺的雪被则让你感受到春天正在萧***中供出嫩芽。
当你为实一项新的设想而脚步生风时,当你执着与你的理想,默默的挖取知识的宝藏时,当你为摘取丰硕的劳动成果而挥洒晶莹的汗珠时,生活是美好的,生活,因创造而美。
美,从你进取的智慧里提取;从你勤劳的双手里放飞。
惊雷美在它炸开了乌云重重的封锁,绿芽美在它冲破了东的束缚,油井美在它捧出了它心底的诚意,果实美在它耸拉着沉甸甸、金灿灿的丰收。
红尘滚滚,季节沸腾。朋友,你应该摘下惆怅的眉结,让雾一样的茫然在太阳下蒸融,让徘徊的脚步抛开绳索,用坚实的脚步去丈量生活。
生活,是美的,愿你我都能拥有Happy Life
