It’s going to be humid in Canada this summer. So rather than arranging coffee dates with clients and prospects, invite them to join you for a scoop of ice cream.

And meanwhile, try sharing this link from The Washington Post, which has compiled a slideshow of summer desserts that’ll help beat the heat (the Cannoli Ice Cream Sandwich looks particularly scrumptious). Parents and foodies alike will be inspired by the recipes (click on dessert name for recipe) and treat ideas offered.

Go here for the slideshow.
