I did "y'all" in honor of the south.
Churning out ice cream today like a Blue Bell Bunny......or perhaps more like a Ben & Jerry's non-growth hormone holstein.
I have spent part of yesterday and part of today making the mixes I need to churn. I have gone through 4 cartons of eggs, 2 pints of heavy cream, a quart of whole milk and 4 quarts of half&half, 5 bars of Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark, 4 bars of Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate, some Grand Marnier and a handful of almonds. I had to make 4 batches of peppermint ice cream (2 for moi and 2 for a present), 2 batches of the dulce de leche w/bittersweet chocolate shards (both for a present) and least but not last one batch of chocolate Grand Marnier with almonds (for my self to go along with eggnog poundcake). I probably could have given a small family a heart attack with all this cream.....I kept the paddles close by while cooking all the custards off just in case someone needed to shock me off the fumes.
Last night we attended Operation Light Sabre, I mean Life Saver dinner. I kept wanting to say Light Sabre all week....no idea why. There were no trekkies there, no darth vader, no princess leigh (although I loved her hair back in the 5th grade). Operation Life Saver is all over the country. It is a commulation (sp) of all of the railroads coming together to teach and bring awareness that you shouldn't walk in front of a train...........DUH!!! They really do a lot of good going into the schools and teaching small children to stay off of tracks. Although I am thinking they need to work on adults also because just this past week some dingo was texting on his cell phone and walked right onto the tracks and played flat stanley. I don't get it........maybe I am just not that in love with my cell phone. Mounds of fried food at Cock of the Walk, chicken, catfish, hushpuppies, fries, onion rings, pickled onions, fried pickles, coleslaw and collard greens and peach and blackberry cobbler. Just what my thighs had been asking for for Christmas. Nothing like unwrapping your gift early.
Thursday night is dinner at 1620 Restaurant. www.1620restaurant.com I will report back. I am sooooooo excited as there is a goat cheese tart on the appetizer list and I LOVE GOAT CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May the force be with you Luke, nanoo nanoo.

"Younz" scream for ice cream! YAY.
Let us know how the restaurant was and also you kinda close to my hometown (Ruston, LA). One time I was driving home from camp and I took the wrong 167 in Little Rock and drove to Tennessee instead of Louisiana.
P.S. I appreciate the comment to anonymous! Now, anonymous comments....PROHIBITED!
Younz?? What is a younz?? That reminds me of "yutes" Joe Pesci said "yutes" when he played a lawyer in a movie I can't remember the name of. aarrrrgh, that is going to drive me nutz all day. All this time I thought it was "y'all"....."younz" just doesn't even sound right.
Could it be "My Cousin Vinny"? Yes, you're welcome. Appparently, my cousin Stacey is playing the role of an insane ice cream maker. But they sound sooo good!
You've never heard "Younz"? I think of it as being very Pittsburgh.
Yes, it is My cousin Vinny......THANK YOU!!!!!! That is Dana's favorite move. I have no idea why.
