shake me vanilla

The season for ice cream cravings is upon us and suddenly I find myself thinking of vanilla during all hours of the day.  Being semi-lactose intolerant, I know such thoughts are dangerous, but even so, as May heads towards June heads towards July, I've already scoped out all the scoop stands in the area to appease my vanilla cravings.  For me, it is not chocolate, nor strawberry, but vanilla milkshakes that put a smile on my face and a sense of satiation in my belly.  Great.  I had to write about this and now I definitely have a craving.
