I've had the Breyer's with Splenda. It's not bad.
I want a baby, too! But...that kinda takes two...
We ran out chanting "We got Potter" (to applause, I might add) and only my mother was able to force us to go to bed...
Jen, you had talked me into reading Potter, but now you're scaring me. . . :)
I imagine adding a couple of tablespoons of flour would soak up the extra liquid. The recipe I used last night called for two tbsp of flour, 3/4 c sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, slowly mixed w/ 2 c milk. cook it till thickened. then add the beaten eggses and the tsp of vanilla. chill it, then add the pint of whipping cream (I used half-n-half). Next, pour it into the freezer and let it churn till frozen. Once frozen, must taste. Beware of brain freeze with eating one spoonful.
In another five pounds...I may hafta buy a carton. I miss ice cream, and I've been pretty good!
As I recall, they had some nice flavors, too. Rocky road and butter pecan, I think.
I haven't had Breyers. Edy's, though, is really lousy. Doesn't taste like ice cream at all.
Sigh... true confession time... I Was a Teenage Potter-Freak...
Is it odd to say a large part of my current fandom is nostalgia? And memories of the best summer of my life so far?
'Cept...especially for the Atkineers...no can do flour. But probably there's an alternative. 2J uses something else as a thickener for gravies and such...xanthan gum?
Whoa! Gone for a minute and ya'll done up and moved on me!
I'm gonna get this hint in a hundred years or so!
We are hoping for warm, but the weather can do anything here!
Even with Shelob? *shudder*
Heh...my little sister was OK with the scary stuff in the movies, mostly because we were all so interested in the making of the movies that she'd already seen much of what went into the CGI and makeup and all that, so she knew exactly what it REALLY was.
But gosh...that music they play during the whole Shelob sequence just shakes me up! Eeek!
Right... if he's ok with LotR, he'll probably be ok. There are, however, werewolves, dog attacks, talk about murder, and Dementors - nasty things that look like Nazgul and are really quite scary - in HP3, so if any of that might bother him...
Also don't go opening weekend, there will be fangirls everywhere squealing madly.
yeah, and he is absolutely terrified of spiders. No nightmare, though.
LOL, too true.
the dementors *might* get to him.... we will have to see. He wasn't really phased at all by the nazgul. He was more curious than anything.
godmother (funny story 'bout that too) took him to see shrek2 when it came out. now, after having seen it once, he is quoting it all the time.
Sounds like she's a hobbit! :-) A nice little hobbit lass! How sweet! :-)
Homemade ice cream sounds really good. Wish I had some!
LOL! Well, I confess I was a Teenage Tolkien/D&D/Spiderman/X-Men/Bruce Lee Freak, so I guess that's approximately equivalent for male geeks :)

I imagine nostalgia accounts for a lot of fandom. I think for example that's true of Star Wars: I have huge nostalgia for that movie, but I've talked to older SF fans who can't understand what the fuss is. I suspect that probably also accounts for why I don't mind Rankin-Bass and Bakshi as much as some :) For me they're associated with nostalgia from when I first discovered Tolkien.
I made it! Not for the first page of posts I'm sure, but better late than never!!
*grin*
