I prefer the hard ice cream to soft serve (which I grew up calling custard???).

My parents used to call it custard too, Sophia.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Isn't custard technically different from soft-serve ice cream?

I have given up on my craving for sushi tonight since I have stuffing and a farm-grown tomato at home that I should be eating while both are still good. I wish they made frozen chicken Kiev that tastes likea rainbow roll, though.

Also, there is a cheesy mummy movie on SciFi featuring a very young Jack Davenport and what looks like killer packing tape.

But did we only have custard when I was little and somehow it morphed into soft-serve, or were we just calling it the wrong thing? Although some of the places were "custard stands". In fact I am pretty sure there was one called "Custard's Last Stand."

That I do not know.

To me, custard and soft-serve to two different animals. Dairy Queen is soft serve, but places like Sheridan's are specifically custard.

Doesn't custard have eggs?

I can see this happening. Packing tape is pernicious, and those little rolly things you use to apply it have very sharp edges. I have a lot of packing tape in a closet -- maybe I'll shove something large in front of the door tonight.

I think, technically, custard has egg in it, but my Dad called all soft serve custard.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Don't eat sushi on a Sunday!

Frozen custard is mostly found in the Midwest and is made with more eggs and less cream. I love it. One lone frozen custard franchise made its way here a couple of years ago. Soft-serve is sold by places like Dairy Queen.
