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."

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?

what looks like killer packing tape

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.

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.

Wikipedia knows:

Soft Serve: [link] Soft serve was invented by Margaret Thatcher! (Okay, well, she was on the research team.)

Lamb dish number 2 is on the stove.

I've decided I need more long weekends. All I'm really doing today is reading and cooking. Because I had two whole other days for hiking, laundry, errands, etc.

Now I want to find a place that still serves custard.
