Ice Cream Flavor

There's a famous Ice Cream company that boasts thirty one flavors; but the one flavor they never created is blueberry cheesecake swirl. That's because it is my creation, and quite by accident I must say.
It was the summer of '06, on a hot, humid and no wind what-so-ever kind of day. I had just finished washing my car and had let the hose water spray on my bare feet for a minute before I went inside the house to award myself with a nice cold treat. I opened the fridge and pulled out the blueberry cheese I had made earlier. Then I got the vanilla bean ice cream out of the freezer, and plopped a big ole scoop onto a plate. I added a slice of the cheesecake on top and headed back out the door to lean against my freshly washed car and enjoy my dessert.

I had forgotten about the hose laying near the tires where a small mound of soap suds had pooled around it. I slipped in the suds and as I fell, my plate went flying and landed upside down on the trunk of my car while I landed bum first, in the pile of soap suds. I stood back up, brushed my self off and went to grab what was left of my dessert.
It was beginning to melt and drip down the side of the trunk. I turned the plate over and shoved what was left of my treat back on to the plate. I used my fingers to eat it since the spoon I brought was now under the car thanks to my near death accident. The blueberry cheesecake was now mixed with the ice cream and I have to say, it was delicious. A new flavor, and one of my favorites.
