Ye Olde Ice Cream Parlour

Sorry, I'm too elated not to post this, and I figured this is as good a thread as any!

I'm a new Dad!! Little 6 lb. 3 oz. girl born on Monday (Dec 6th). We're all doing well and she'll be coming home today!

Just dropping in for a quick (ice cream) sandwich while running between the hospital and home! So I gotta go - normally chocolate cigars are in order, but maybe one of you can come up with a cool ice cream treat to hand out for the next day or so!!

 

[Crazy Liz]

Congrats, papa!

One ice cream sandwich, to go!

I am so happy for you.
Praying for God to guide your baby girl into life with all of His wonderful Blessings, and Mom and Dad too!
Bye~

Hurray!

I pray everything is going great for her, her mother, and you!

What a lovely spot to hang my hat. Hi y'all. Mind if I pull up a chair? Looks like my kind of crowd... except for the crazy klingon and the hippie commune guy ( hey you two).

CaDan, have I know that I have already said it, but I love your Romero stuff... just noticed the "Prophets of a World Not Our Own".... I think that is one of the most wonderful prayers I have ever read. I use it all the time.

Anyway, see y'all later.

... oh, and congratulations to the new father... that is wonderfully exciting news.

Hey Jonathan!

Congratulations, Inside Edge.

Right now, I need a nice chocolate ice cream, and someone to scoop it up for me, and sit down with me for a while across the table or counter. A friendly face and a dish of ice cream.

It helps, now and then, to step back
and take a long view.

The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts,
it is even beyond our vision.

We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction
of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work.
Nothing we do is complete, which is a way of saying
that the kingdom always lies beyond us.
No statement says all that could be said.
No prayer fully expresses our faith.
No confession brings perfection.
No pastoral visit brings wholeness.
No program accomplishes the church's mission.
No set of goals and objectives includes everything.

This is what we are about.
We plant the seeds that one day will grow.
We water seeds already planted,
knowing that they hold future promise.

We lay foundations that will need further development.
We provide yeast that produces far beyond our capabilities.

We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation
in realizing that. This enables us to do something,
and to do it very well. It may be incomplete,
but it is a beginning, a step along the way,
an opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest.

We may never see the end results, but that is the difference
between the master builder and the worker.

We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs.
We are prophets of a future not our own.
Amen.

Thanks, CaDan!

Coffee's on.

I'm hoping we'll get some new flavors of ice cream this afternoon.

 

[Crazy Liz]

Anybody wanna help me sort and taste-test these new flavors?

I did recieve a recipe for Chocolate chip Cookies:
Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

532.35 cm³ gluten
4.9 cm³ NaHCO3
4.9 cm³ refined halite
236.6 cm³ partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
177.45 cm³ crystalline C12H22O11
177.45 cm³ unrefined C12H22O11
4.9 cm³ methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein
473.2 cm³ theobroma cacao
236.6 cm³ de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10) (Optional)

Directions:

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat
transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft²-hr, add ingredients one, two and
three with constant agitation. In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial
flow impeller operating at 100rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and
seven until the mixture is homogenous.

To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the
homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten
slowly, with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the
reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an
exothermic reaction.

Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture
piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300×600mm). Heat in a 460°K oven for a period
of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston's first order rate
expression* or until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place the
sheet on a 25°C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to
equilibrium.

I'll have to try that. But I don't do so good with the metric system.

 

[CaDan]

Anybody wanna help me sort and taste-test these new flavors?

That blue stuff looks kinda creepy.....

I'll have some of the chocolate please.

 

[Inside Edge]

That blue stuff looks kinda creepy.....

I was thinking the same thing. Radioactive or something.

I could go for strawberry cheesecake ice cream, if there's any around.

And thanks to everyone for their good tidings, especially Annabel Lee who saw fit to give me a rep hit!

 

[Crazy Liz]

The Ice Cream Parlour seems to get quiet on the weekends.

Welcome everyone!
