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
母爱,它是伟大的,它是无私奉献的。因为有了母爱,我们茁壮成长;因为有了母爱,我们健康成长;因为有了母爱,我们在呵护下快乐生活。母爱伴我成长。
我从小体弱多病, 母亲三天两头就往医院跑。母亲为了我这个问题操碎了心。从小我就吃了很多药,母亲几乎每月的工资都让我吃药,看医生,可还是无济于事。无奈之下,母亲做了一个决定——清早跑步锻炼身体。于是以后的每天清早,我就起来锻炼身体,母亲为了我不孤单,总是在旁边陪着我。从此,公园里又多了一对锻炼的母子。每当我跑不动时,是母亲在旁鼓舞我,让我重振信心;每当我摔倒时,是母亲鼓励我,让我自己坚强地爬起来。过了一些日子后,小小的我有了一个茁壮的身体,再也没常常生病了。
上小学了,有一个冬天,上二年级的我放学回家,在回家的路上摔倒了。天气凉嗖嗖的,呼呼的西北风放肆地吹着大地。我疼痛极了,伤口流出鲜血来。朋友要扶我,我拒绝了,因为我知道,靠别人是没有用的,只有自己努力才是真的。我坚强地爬了起来,慢慢地一步一步地回了家。到了家门前,妈妈搀扶我进来家,安慰了我几句,并且帮我处理了伤口。
然后走进房,拿了双手套给我,亲切地说:“天气冷了,快戴戴吧!”这时我看到母亲的手有些颤抖,以前那柔嫩的双手变得粗糙起来,脸上起了几丝皱纹,头上那乌黑的头发中添了几条白发。哦,那是母亲一直为我们操劳而成的。我感动极了,但千言万语都说不出我对母亲的感谢,我只是对母亲说了声:“谢谢了。”我知道,只有我成为对社会有帮助的人,才能安慰母亲的心。
在我的一生中,我要成为个一个知识渊博的人,回报社会。因为母爱伴我成长!
母爱是相伴的盈盈笑语,母爱是飘泊天涯的缕缕思念,母爱是儿女病榻前的关切焦灼.......点点滴滴的母爱都在哺育我茁壮成长。
晴好的岁月里,淡淡的云、淡淡的天,这温馨悠长的母爱永远是时光流淌的诗。
母亲向来教导我要善良诚实,做一个谨守诺言的男子汉。可那一次,母亲却撒了一个善意的谎言,但味道竟然是甜甜的,让我回味无穷。那个冬日,我感冒很重,头晕脑胀,鼻涕连连。母亲急急忙忙地背上我看医生,医生查问后便开了一种药片。药片是棕色的,一看就让人畏惧三分。晚上,母亲让我吃药,药苦得像黄连一样,我瞬间就把药吐到地板上,然后就是百无聊赖地抵抗,死活不想再吃这种难吃的药了。母爱总是千方百计地给予。
次日,母亲亲切地对我说,药片融化在水里,里面加了糖,已经不苦了。我半信半疑,闻了一下杯子,好像真的没有那么苦了!妈妈好像看懂了我惨淡的表情,说:“没事,只是闻着苦,其实一点也不苦,不信你尝尝。”我先浅浅地泯了一小口,似乎那么那么极端的苦了,便端起杯子喝了一口,苦味从我的嘴漫遍我的全身,肆虐着我的味蕾!但我还是硬着头皮,一饮而尽。
我拿起桌旁的一杯水,猛灌一顿,极力想把那苦味,不禁在心中感叹道,“以后再也不要喝这苦的药!再也不要感冒了!”事情终究会“败露”,后来才得知,母亲并没有在药里加糖,而是撒了个善意的谎言,让我战胜心中的胆怯。是啊,母亲总是那样不折不扣的包容,总是那样不离不弃的博爱,我们身边那些善意的谎言,谁能去埋怨愤恨,惟有更加敬重。
在晨光熹微的清晨,茶几上,一盒烫手的热牛奶、一份热气腾腾香气四溢的便当和茶几旁一个等待的慈爱的身影。一切都犹如那热气一般沉静。
突然,一阵慌乱的脚步声打破了这宁静,我背着书包,从二楼飞奔下来,急急忙忙穿好鞋和外套,“早上又早起背书书啦?”“嗯。”我只是简单的回答了妈妈。当我收拾好了,就要出去时,突然被妈妈叫住了:“又不吃点早饭么?”“不了,我赶校车。”“这盒牛奶拿着,上车喝。”“好。”我有些生硬地回答。“妈,我走啦。”
妈妈微笑着看着我向远处跑去。上车后,我匆忙地把烫手牛奶塞到了饭盒里,知道中午吃饭时,牛奶都凉了我才喝。几天下来,都喝不到热牛奶,我也不希望妈妈麻烦,于是,那晚,我对妈妈说:“妈,以后每天早上都别准备热牛奶了,烫手,又来不及喝。”妈妈只是点了点头,什么也没说,甚至,我都不能从她的表情上看出什么。
第二天早上,茶几上依旧是一份午饭和一盒牛奶,但是,牛奶不在烫手了,是温的。妈妈微笑着说:“这回不烫了,拿去喝了吧。”“哦。”还是这样一如既往的生硬地回答和道别。就这样,日复一日,年复一年,暑去寒来,我闯过了三个年级,闯过了大小考验,闯过了两科会考,早已人事变迁,但是,不变的'是,无论春夏秋冬,妈妈依旧跟我一起早起,为我准备热牛奶和午饭。
其实,我知道,妈妈也并非表面看上去的那么开心。比起牛奶这样简单的早饭,妈妈个希望我能吃饱,吃她亲手做的早饭。我曾都少次地,偷偷地回头,看着她边回头,边叹气,然后就是一个寞落的背影。我看着,心里,感到莫大的愧疚。
有一次,第二天理科,没什么可背的。于是,那晚,我边看着本,边若无其事地说:“妈,明早我想吃早饭。”“怎么了?”“明天理科,早上不用背太多书,有时间。”“哦,好哇。”简短平淡的回答,却掩饰不了她内心的喜悦。第二天早上,吃着早饭,嘴里是热的,心里是暖的,眼眶是湿的。
如今,我已明白了妈妈那深沉的爱,那温暖的爱,那不知疲倦的爱,然而,那是也是一种百般无奈的爱。这爱,不仅使我长高长大,也使我的心灵慢慢地“成长”。我不愿放下这爱,然而,我却不知道如何去回应这爱。这爱,就像成长路上的春风,使我暖了身,也使我的眼被刮的珊珊泪下。
我在成长,妈妈在变老,母爱却从未改变过。
妈妈,我,牛奶,成长和母爱……
“丁铃铃”闹钟响了,我被惊醒了,可是我还是赖在床上,不肯起来。
当我正在舒舒服服地躺在床上时,我老妈气势汹汹地冲进我的房门,开始发出像“江东狮子吼”一样的叫人声,她说话像机关枪一样“哒哒哒”地向我扫射,让人不得不起来,在妈妈的催促下,我迷迷糊糊地起了床,穿上衣服,去洗漱,我妈妈又开始叫我快点,我匆匆忙忙地吃好早点后,就出门了,在门口,妈妈又开始吵了:“不要忘带东西,上课认真听,下课不要奔跑,放学后别跑开,让我来接你。”心里想:“快讲完,我的头都要听大了。”
嘴里还小声地讲了一句:“吵死了!”老妈好像是个顺风耳,她听到了我的声音,眼睛一噔,说了句:“你说什么?”我立马不敢言语了,下了电梯后,我在路上一直闷闷不乐的,一边踢着小石子,一边心里想:“这个人真是的,不就是早上起来晚了一点儿吗,用得着这么大声吗!”在路上遇到了朋友也不说话,气鼓鼓地向前走,我的同学追了上来问我:“你怎么了?”我也不答话,只顾往前走,不一会儿,就到了学校,在上音乐课的时候,我心里一凉,没带口风琴!可我在拿音乐书的时候,发现了我的口风琴,我心里全都是一个个问号,我也顾不上这么多,拿起来就用,后来我才知道这个口风琴是妈妈送来的。
放学了,我走在了回家的路上,我的心里一直在思考,“我该不该向我妈妈道歉呢?”可是回到家,我却说不出口。我想,明天,一定要向您道歉!向您说一声“妈妈您辛苦了!”
