Over the years, we have cranked out batches of it at home, wooed each other over it in picturesque parlors and chased after the ringing bell of a truck for it. These days we are most likely to pop a container of it into our shopping carts or, as the summer season begins, pull into the parking lot of a fast food-like kiosk and order up a cone or a dish. Fortunately, there is no shortage of ice cream shops in the Bayshore area, and they stand ready to cater to all sorts of cravings.
