Pint of heavy cream + about 1/2 cup of sugar + anything else you want = homemade ice cream. (I mean, sure you can get all fancy and make a creme anglaise, strain & chill overnight and use that as your base instead, but when you want ice cream now, Philadephia-style is the way to go.)
You'll want it a little sweeter than you think it should be, since you don't taste the sugar as much when it's cold.
Tonight Dylan and I made strawberry cheesecake ice cream - heavy cream + sugar + strawberry jelly + cream cheese. And then for good measure we swirled in some chocolate sauce while it was freezing.
smonster -very good flavor (assuming you mix other flavors in soy sauce) not much protein. But very rare for Americans to be protein deprived so would not worry about that for one meal
Eesh, tommyrot. Good for wearing a helmet.
I am getting a little concerned that I need to get an air conditioner for my cat. It is so hot. She is old and is wearing a fur coat, and does not like to drink water under the best of circumstances. And she is meowing like a meowy thing.
Also, the only difference I can tell between dress slacks and women's slacks would be that maybe dress slacks are for men, and slacks for women are, well, for women. I have to admit, that I specifically picture a lined, pleated pant that is rather high waisted for women's slacks, while in my head, men's "slacks" are polyester dress pants from the 70's. This is why dress codes are trouble. Ours is "dress appropriately" which is a little vague.

Well, yes. If everyone knew how to dress appropriately, we'd not need a dress code to begin with, sillyheads.
I would worry more about my cat in the heat if he seemed to appreciate the air conditioning when I have it on in the bed room -- he leaves to go back out into the heat! Nutter.

Holy crap, that sounds awesome.
Cats were domesticated in Egypt, right? I'd guess they're built to handle heat pretty well.

My boss just wondered if he put his foot in his mouth calling me and the male developer "guys."
I'd rather have that than "ladies", which is what my boss uses since she is often addressing only women.

Stupid generations of northern europeans!!
went back out to get boxes from a nearby friend. still nasty gross and my shoes STINK. ugh. smelly nasty day. I did finish off a couple of small boxes that had wee bits of empty space at the top, got them full, taped, and labeled.
I think my goal for tonight will be to: finish the box with hardware stuff, finish the box of pantry stuff, and pack everything out of my closets or two medium boxes whichever is more. Then if that is done before 11, list more things on ebay.
There"s a huge bump on my leg, the size of a silver dollar. It's sticking out more than half an inch. am icing it now.
