No need to make pancakes this morning. Ice cream for breakfast day is happening right now.
First celebrated in the 1960s when a Rochester, NY family ate ice cream for breakfast during a blizzard, the informal holiday aims to “liven up the first weekend of February with something silly and sweet.”
Also opening at 9 a.m., this scoop shop is launching a brand new breakfast-inspired flavor: Blueberry Johnny Cakes. Gluten-free corn cakes are slightly toasted and tossed in a rich, buttery, and slightly salty sweet cream with a bright blueberry jam made with maple syrup.

Eat
Pricey avocado toast isn’t looking so bad these days. Egg prices are expected to increase ~20% in 2025 due to a strain of avian flu and inflation, according to the US Department of Agriculture. Try grabbing eggs at a local market instead of the supermarket, where prices are at record or near-record highs. (CNN)
