4 pints arrived this afternoon, sadly melted, so I'm waiting to enjoy,

but I wanted to share with y'all, sounds and looks GREAT!! (I ordered turkish coffee, hazelnut, strawberry and mint/chip.)

'Ice cream production has been a family tradition as early as the 1930s. Our great grandmother, Sarah Rukab, acquired an ice cream recipe during the final days of the Ottoman Empire. After the sudden passing of her husband in 1932, she was left with no choice but to become the breadwinner for her family. She put the recipe to work by making small batches of ice cream and becoming a mobile vendor by enlisting her children to help after school.
