Now tagless for your comfort.

My stinky boy just refused a bath, too, msbelle. I may be able to coax him in after movie.

I want an ice cream maker.

We have a cuisinart ice cream maker, but have never used it.

I can eat approximately 2 bites of ice cream without severe intestinal distress, so y'all can't taunt me at all!

Scraping at the banister, I think the dark layer is a dark varnish, but not stain, and it is the bottom layer. This is excellent news. Means when I strip, I'll probably get down to minimally paintstained wood, so I can go about staining the rail and main posts, and stick with white for the wickets or whatever they are called. I'll go with a dark honey that matches the inlay (and blinds from IKEA!) [link] [link]

This is what I have to strip: [link] Main posts at top and bottom will be a challenge with all those edges. Luckily, I like picking at things.

I want to try a frozen lemon custard recipe. I used to get frozen lemon custard with my dad at a local ice cream shop and it closed years ago. I can never find it anymore.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Nora, have y'all been to Brocato's yet for lemon ice?

I have been very happy with this ice cream book: [link]

For a couple of summers I was making a small batch or two every few weeks, after a while you can just experiment without following a strict recipe. I made some yum carrot and honey ice cream and I think I made several versions of cinnamon.

not your mom's socks.

Oh, whoops, I think Sox mentioned sorbet in Spike's and I thought she was continuing the theme. Thanks!!

frozen lemonade and frozen raspberries are our new best friends.

My mom got this thing that makes a bowl of ice cream at a time (you freeze the bowls) which is just about right for the amount of it she wants to make. It came with 2 bowls.

just bought new Lithium batteries for the Smoke/CO detectors and one is beeping. It is the replace unit beep. I got these less than 2 years ago. Guess I'll be sending that back to the manufacturer for a replacement. Like I need this ankle-biting crap this week.

Be sure to give them the new return address or have postal forwarding set up if using USPS.

Gah, went out to water the plants. Broke a sweat, and it wasn't from exertion.
