It was a statutory holiday in some parts of Canada today. Some provinces call the third Monday in February "Family Day". I am happy to be in a province that promotes the importance of family time.

This movie stars Dustin Hoffman (Rainman) and Natalie Por

Here is an extract of the article about how ice cream helps make you healthier.

Second, ice cream also delivers choline, which can lower homocysteine. Homocysteine is an amino acid that restricts blood flow.
