Too bad I don't have any, or all that is left in the freezer is nothing but ice crystals.

OK, here's a little background for you -

Apparently, it was started some 40 years ago.

Ice Cream for Breakfast Day?
Here's a Scoop: Saturday Morning, You Can Have a Sundae

Mark Saturday on your calendar -- and have your parents mark it down, too.


It's International Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. Bet you didn't even know there was such a thing.

Ice Cream for Breakfast Day was started about 40 years ago by the Rappaport family in New York. Why? "Well, it was a day a lot like today," Florence Rappaport, now 83 or 84 -- she doesn't quite remember -- said last week. "It was cold and snowy and the kids were complaining that it was too cold to do anything. So I just said, 'Let's have ice cream for breakfast.' "

After that, every year her kids, Joseph and Ruth, would remind her about their very special day. A newspaper in Rochester, New York, even wrote a front-page story about Ice Cream for Breakfast Day.

The family tradition spread as Joseph and Ruth grew up and moved away. No one knows for sure how many people observe Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, but parties have been held in England, Israel, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa. Some parties are just for the family; others turn into ice cream brunches for entire neighborhoods.

Now, we know there are people out there (grown-up people, we suspect) who will say that ice cream isn't exactly a nutritious breakfast. They might say that, in a country where so many people are overweight, telling kids to eat ice cream for breakfast is a bad idea.

Even Florence Rappaport admits that nowadays she eats nonfat frozen yogurt on Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. But she doesn't think there's anything wrong with starting the day with ice cream once a year. "It's okay to have a little fun," she said.

Besides, just because it's Ice Cream for Breakfast Day doesn't mean that you eat only ice cream for breakfast. Why not try a bagel or a waffle with your ice cream, with some strawberries on top?

There's even a book called "Ice Cream for Breakfast." The author, Leslie Levine, says it's okay sometimes to break some of life's rules. Two chapters in the book are titled "Play in the Dirt" and "Stay Up Past Your Bedtime."

So on Saturday, think about breaking one of life's little rules by having ice cream for breakfast. If you skip ice cream for dessert that night, you'll hardly be breaking a rule at all.
