Ice cream makes everything okay

Even though winter is on its way out, spring term isn’t quite over. That being said, I think it is possible to survive and thrive during crunch week, as long as each day leading up to finals is sprinkled with copious amounts of ice cream. That’s why I’d like to announce that Hot Licks Homemade Ice Cream, located in Fairbanks on College Road next to Gulliver’s Books, officially opened again for business this week.

So consider the flavor possibilities of a hardy scoop of apple pie, rich black raspberry, a cappuccino crunch pick-me-up, peanut butter fluffernutter or the ever-decadent white truffle chocolate raspberry swirl. And keep in mind that this means, even though it’s supposed to snow some more tomorrow, it is unofficially officially spring in Fairbanks.

For general reasons of celebration and reflection, today I stopped in to Hot Licks and treated myself to a waffle cone filled with a luscious scoop of macadamia brittle. Deciding between Alaska blueberry, donutella, and the macadamia nut brittle was tough at first. However, in the end the flavor I chose didn’t really matter because I knew that I could return again anytime to test out the others.
