Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I should get an ice cream maker, as I now have a craving for ginger ice cream with bitter chocolate sauce, and making it by hand is a pain.
Really rude commentary on John Roberts:http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2005/07/luvin-john-roberts-man-oh-man-after.html
And just noting my disappointment in the extension of the Patriot Act by the House.
The newscaster just informed us that free wifi is available at all Chicago public liberrys.
So I just realized that I pronounce Raquel with an ah sound, but Raq like rack. What's up with that?
I think it might be because when you say Raquel, you put the stress on the second syllable, so the vowel in the first gets swallowed. When you say Raq there's only one place to put the stress. Do you think you say the "a" in Raquel as a true "ah" or more like a schwa?
I give it the full ah. Like ROCK-el. Kinda.
I think Raq roqs.
I give it the full ah. Like ROCK-el. Kinda.
In that case, it's because your dad had a thing for ROCK-el Welch.
The original Steve's was in Davis Square. Apparently Herrell's is still good (Steve Herrell was the founder, who sold off his first name along with Steve's Ice Cream).
Mmm. We have a Herrell's in Northampton. We also got a Cold Stone recently, but I've never been there, for I am in love with Herrell's. (Although the best ice cream ever is from Bart's, another local ice cream place: Black Tiger. Kahlua ice cream with dark chocolate chunks and, hmm, maybe something else? Must seek out a pint this weekend to refresh my memory.)
Jesse is me w/r/t Raquel and Raq.
PBS was airing a special about ice cream the other night-- maybe it was just my PBS. Did no one else see it?
Dippin' Dots: The Ice Cream of the Future. Or at least, that's what they were saying in 1994, before it became clear that IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO IMPROVE ICE CREAM.
I think there's a vending machine with Dipping Dots at the movie theater. i may have some when I go see the penguin movie on Sunday. To be, like, thematic. Or something.
I don't have a favorite ice cream. Unless it's the one I'm having right now. When I'm having ice cream. Which I am not, at the moment. So, no favorite.
