20 years ago a doc my mom worked for said " it won't be cancer or heart disease or diabetes that will kill humans...it will be viruses"

They are mutating faster than science can find a vaccine.

I feel accomplished i did a load of laundry and made my bed .....I AM ON

Way to GO, girl!

I took my nephew, the twin grands, and my dog to the Museum of Ice Cream today. The kids really liked it; they were able to burn off some energy there while getting hyped up on sugar from ice cream and cotton candy!

I wouldn't recommend it, however. It's WAY overpriced and the ice cream wasn't premium. Better to get some Ben & Jerry's, Talenti, or some other premium brand and go to a park.

Weigh in tomorrow

I have had a decent week....

You got this! ️

He puked on my book while I was out. *sigh*


I did take the leaky oil pan back to the oil change places and tell them about it. They didn't argue. They replaced the oil and the plug. We left the filter in because it's the Good Kind that I buy at the auto parts store and then make them use. If it's a good fix, I'll keep using them.


If it isn't, I'll call them sons-o'-h000rs and Issue a Fatwah on Social Media.


No, I won't. I'll just quietly take my bizness elsewhere.

There is something to be said for a righteous Fatwah!

I love ice cream...

I like the chocolate with peanut butter swirl and cookie and cream...oh and fudge ripple....among about 7 others... only one I dont care for is mint chip.... I don't like the mint girl scout cookies either

I love the GS Thin Mint ice cream! I've had it in vanilla and chocolate. I prefer the chocolate.

Ok next group question

Favorite brand and flavor ice cream

B&J's Phish Food used to be my favorite. Then I found Chocolate Hazelnut Marscarpone ice cream made by Kroger Private Selection. I can't find that anymore. Now, I tend to like almost anything by Tillamook. It's a local-ish dairy in Oregon. Their ice cream has the most marvelous mouth feel!

Had no idea there was GS cookie flavored ice cream. Huh

Breyers or blue bunny

I've heard Blue Bunny is good. We don't get it on the west coast. Breyers is Dreyers here. I like their ice cream.

Can vouch for Tillamook...I do like Salt and Straw in Portland for small time place

 

[Lilianna23]

We usually make our own
Anyone had green ice cream
One bowl will do you

I've heard of avocado ice cream. I'd be down to try it!

 

[Lilianna23]

I usually go with the half gallons from the store. It's not good, but sometimes I eat a little too much

I have to limit myself by using smaaalllllll bowls!

 

[Lilianna23]

On homemade apple pie warm or with apple crisp

Yes, please!

 

[Lilianna23]

Made Habanero ice cream once only
One lick will do most
You really have to like heat liquify habanero and put them in vanilla

I think I could pass on that one!

Love 50+ men

We are like good aged whiskey

 

[Lilianna23]

Or on a human cone? Imagine licking that slowly!

And it has to be the real vanilla bean, not made from the simulated liquid stuff!

Real vanilla FTW! I don't use imitation anything!

I have some of this! I didn't know what it was!

There's a small pot French style creamery in this area called Graeter's and their black raspberry chocolate chip is ridiculously good. The "chocolate chips" are as big as your pinky finger but honestly they're upstaged by maybe the best ice cream I've ever had

 

[Lilianna23]

So I have wallered in a divot in my mattress.... I found a short term solution til I have the money to get a new one.... I took extra pillow forms and put under the divot.... looked it up on line and that was one of 6 solutions....

It seems to be working!!

I know exactly the mattress I want and it is $$$

Good that you found a solution! What mattress do you want?

I wish I liked ice cream more. My GI doesn't like the amount of sugar and fat... but it's often the stabilizers and emulsifiers that give me the most trouble... and any "natural" flavors/colors and/or food dye used by the less expensive brands. So I stick with fresh fruit for dessert most times.

Real vanilla FTW! I don't use imitation anything!

Making my own vanilla extract for the first time. Simple - mostly takes time. 1st batch should be ready by 4th of July

 

[Lilianna23]

For me, I enjoy lack of portion control

I do in some instances!

I like that - easy to pick out if you can't just get the ice cream w/o the "chips".

Black raspberry was a flavor from my mom's childhood. I found a local ice cream shop that had the flavor. You could see it in her face when she tasted it - took her back for a minute. Was worth it.

 

[Lilianna23]

I may get some and plant in this giant bowl I have in the garden....
I need to get out there and do spring clean up and get ready for the year....

I'll be doing that when I get home. I fired my yard guys. I need to decide if I'm going to do (most of) it myself or hire another lawn service.

 

[Lilianna23]

Hey, If you are making a batch, I would love to find out!

Make it for our reunion party!

 

[Lilianna23]

Your loving murmurs make my frozen coal-black heart go pittipat.


Or something like that.


Maybe it's just a coronary . . . .

K+ and I will save you!
