So, now that I've got my ice cream machine, what flavors should I attempt first?

Starting with vanilla and chocolate might be a good idea to get a sense of
whether I have the right proportions for the dairy products, but...

I want to do banana-black-pepper and yellow-curry-with-coconut-cream.

Whaddaya think, should I start with the weird flavors or should I start
with the boring flavors nobody likes, such as chocolate?

-- K.

I don't have a blender, but
I'm sure I could get the
bananas mashed up by just
buying them at Stop & Shop.

Since you're asking, whenever I try something new I always follow the
recipe religiously the first time to establish what it's supposed to
end up like. Then I get experimental with it. So I'd go with the chocolate
or vanilla first or even strawberry or some other berry. But then I
love berry ice creams.
If you have or can find a wire mesh strainer you don't need a blender for
bananas. If they're ripe enough you can push them through the strainer
with a big spoon. Pls psot taste test reviews.

Start with a boring flavor to see if it comes out weird. Calibrate stuff,
in other words. Once you have the gauges and meters inked in, THEN go for
the edges of the manifold.

How bout Thai chicken curry with coconut cream icecream? Don't be
forgetting the sliced chilli, will you now?

What is it about chocolate icecream? Does any of that crap taste any
good to anyone?


On an entirely unrelated note, what is your Kibo number when Kibo

I would probably start with weird flavors that are hard to ruin by making
them too sweet, like Thai iced tea and licorice, to develop your
technique of modifying the off-the-shelf basic recipes, before moving on
to more savory ones. Of course, the coconut curry might fit that
category as well, as long as you're not putting in beef or tuna.

I worked one summer in an Albertsons ice-cream plant, stacking
half-gallons of ice cream on pallets and wrapping them in shrink wrap.
Half-gallons that fell of the conveyor belt or got run over by the
fork lift were tossed into a 55-gallon drum. Later, when the ice
weasels came, they were made into chocolate ice cream. IANMTU.

Every day this one kid would pull a freshly extruded half-gallon of
ice cream off of the conveyor belt and eat it during a 15-minute
break. Makes my stomach hurt just to think about it.

Oh yes oh goodness gracious yes indeedy. Especially the fudge marble, but
dark chocolate or Dutch chocolate or pretty much almost any chocolate THAT
DOESN'T HAVE NUTS IN (heretics!) will work wonders. Alas, some year soon I
must defrost my fridge's freezer compartment, after which it may get back
to normal functioning and allow me to store ice cream for more than half a
day without it quiescently marginally unfrozening.

Well, 1x1=1, but you can treat that as going fractional if you want. You can't
get to zero that way (or to negatives) though, those take actual system
glitches.

Right, and everyone also knows lamb goes with sweet, sweet mint jelly
(with or without jalapeno), so it should go fine with an extra-sweet
coconut cream curry, too!

May I remind you that someone once said that chocolate was for BABIES
and AZTECS.

I believe that garlic was desginated as a grown-up flavor.


Alternatively, how about some tea tree oil ice cream? I can keep it in
the freezer against the day my farm tries to kill me again.

Well DANG. My earliest clear memory is of playing with a toy
bulldozer whilst and at the same time watching a real bulldozer at
work in our front yard (which, at the time, still consisted of
unadulterated dirt). I've been somewhat fascinated with the concept
of hierarchical realities ever since. And now I find out I could have
INSTEAD been fascinated with HOMEMADE PEACH ICE CREAM. I wuz ROBBED.

In other fruit related news, plums. Lots and lots of plums. Most of
the trees we planted on Onondaga Hill are either dead or not at all
well, but two apples are doing OK (one has fruit) and the Stanley plum
is going gangbusters.

Homemade peach ice cream. DANG.

One of mine is Mom announcing at the dinner table that I
had a bath in the sink today. Another is a weird memory
of godzilla in a nightmare. The most complete early
memory was later on -- looking out the window on a bright
spring day and telling myself that I would remember this
moment.

I tried licorice, but it was hard to get the consistency right.

If you want to make coconut ice cream, you have to load it up with
artificial coconut flavor because real coconut doesn't taste like anything.

And if you want to make coffee ice cream make it really strong. Since
you are off caffeine, even if you make it with decaf but at the
appropriate strength, you'll probably still get high off of it, so maybe
you want to skip this one.

OK, those are my three tips.

Oh, no specific incident has occured. I am just trying to avoid a
repeat of the Summer of the ER.

It turns out that I am fairly allergic to the combination of plants and
sunlight, which kind of sucks when you want to be a farmer. So I have
to go out all covered up, which sucks when it's in the 90's. Basically,
I need a hazmat suit, or maybe a beekeeper outfit would work.

Anyway, when I screw up, I find Tea Tree Oil to be pretty effective,
and suspect that a big bathtub of Tea Tree Oil icecream would be super
duper effective.

Garlic-chocolate would be the way to go. With just enough cayenne to give it a nice finish.

Damn straight you were. The heavy machinery memories are supposed to

I think that was the only way we got ice cream for a few years, thus
spoiling store-bought ice cream's taste (no, not FOREVER!).

I heard they discovered that peach juice contains a chemical which
reacts with certain types of dinnerware to produce to a toxin which
causes Adult-Onset Bedwetting. Fortunately, "certain types of
dinnerware" have recently been determined to only be those which
are square and green. Had you been eating out of a round green
Melmac dish you wouldn't start wetting the bed a few days from now.

It's like how if you put lemon tea in a Styrofoam cup, the plastic
dissolves directly into your stomach and you wake up with a plastic-
lined digestive system where everything you eat bounces right through
it like a Ping-Pong ball and comes shooting out the other end at
supersonic velocity. Peach plus square plus green does something
to the human bladder. Something beyond science. Something not
even the Bible can explain.

This is why, when I get around to making peach ice cream, I will
be careful to eat it out of an old collectible "Potsie" Dr Pepper
glass sold by Pizza Hut in 1977. It's just the sensible thing to do,
especially if you for some reason have a glass with a picture of
Potsie on it. "Hi, I'm Potsie! You're drinking out of my face!"
1977 was just after he changed the spelling of his name from
"Potsy" to "Potsie" because he got paid by the vowel and everyone
knows that "y" is only sometimes a vowel, as explained in the
1976 episode "Fonzie Buys A Vowel", where he teaches all the
other kids that phonics are cool and people who don't use proper
diction are nerds and then they all perform Gilbert & Sullivan's
"Pirates Of Penzance". So, anyway, sorry to hear your dish was square.

I was going to point out that a Melmac dish should be used only
for eating homemade cat ice cream, but then you said that the puppet
was unfunny, so I won't. However, ALF was once employed as an
Assistant Boxleitner, so you've got to give him that much.

Listening to radio national the other day, aparently the "junk" dna is not
junk at all but an active battiefield of at least three different types of
code replicating itself within the genome of the host organisms. (wishing I
had a citation so I could go read it)

I heard that if you touch someone's belly button three times then
write the word "SECRETMONEY" on their left shoulder they will give you
$65,536 but only if you first set your biological clock to January 1, 1980.
It must be true because I read it in a pop-up window and then again
in a pop-up book.

I heard that woodpeckers are really worms with legs.

I heard that if you turn your TV halfway between "on" and "off" you can
get channel 1, channel 1 and a half, channel 1 and three quarters,
and channel 1 point nine nine nine nine nine, and none of them have
any commercials because they don't really exist so you can watch
"Knight Rider" uninterrupted.

I heard that if you stretch a rubber band too far it will break but
then if you stretch it a lot farther it'll unbreak but you have to
stretch it several million miles long first and NASA tried to do the
experiment but the astronauts lost the rubber band because the pockets
on their space suits were too big.

I heard that the Mattel See & Say isn't as smart as it thinks it is.

I heard that if you eat too many TV dinners you forget how to do
the dishes and then you have to eat TV dinners for the rest of your
life but it saves you so much money that you can afford to eat TV
dinners every day for a hundred thousand years or until you die of
malnutrition whichever comes first.

I heard that if you twist your DNA really tight you can hear it crying.

It's actual being used as a sort of blog. Basically, we're each a
walking, talking live journal for other dimensional entities.

The bad news is that you are actually a bunch of lame music reviews
written by a pretentious adolescent. Could be worse, though. Kibo is a
collection of family recipes by some sappy old lady.

Weren't all the Pizza Hut Potsie glasses recalled in 1978 because
they'd been made with leaded glass? Children had suffered lead
poisoning after drinking from Potsie glasses and slowly lost touch
with reality. All those poor kids wandered around with no pants on,
swearing that they heard an ice cream truck playing horrible music,
and crying if their parents turned off "Match Game '78.

One theory, which is cursed, is that there were two different

Yeah, well, your DNA is emo. Your DNA inlines smileys from one of
those sites that provides premium animated smileys. Your DNA wears
a ton of makeup to try to make itself look grown-up instead of younger.
Your DNA combs its hair over one of its eyes and posts photos of itself
taken from a camera held in one outstretched arm raised high so that
the photo is 90% the giant bang that covers the eys. Also it dyes
its hair black with that black Gatorade they used to make because
there's no such thing as black Kool-Aid thank you Sugar Jesus.

You just reminded me that I need to fix the program I wrote that
sucks down a specified number of the most recent images posted
to any LiveJournal site (they publish an XML listing of all
recent changes, but they change the format of the data or the
names of the URLs every few months.) There, I just went and fixed
it. Now my "SEE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF LIVEJOURNAL USERS ARE EMO KIDS"
button works again. I just ran it and it found a bunch of people
who look dopey and also a great photo of a replica '60s Batmobile
after a major car accident and I hope Robin was killed again.

Well, duh. All's you gotta do is parse this:
http://www.livejournal.com/stats/latest-img.bml

> Kibo _analyzes_ them, and mocks them at the same time!

Okay, here's the most recent 40. Let's see if we can find any
self-portraits of emo/goth kids who don't have someone else to
hold the camera for them, and can't set the camera down because
they don't know how to work the ten-second timer. This may
not be the best time of year to do it, what with school being
out, but let's try for hair-over-the-eye self-portraits.
But we'll probably at least find some terrible webcomics,
exuberant drawings of furries with black rectangles where it
counts, and pictures of garage bands with insane Russian captions
burned into them.

THE 40 NEWEST LIVEJOURNAL IMAGES BEGIN NOW!

1. broken image (PNG file saved without the proper filename extension --
and it turns out to be -- DING DING DING! Emo boy with hair over
his eyes and red slashes through the picture!)

2. broken image (someone attempted to do <IMG SRC="something.html">
to link to a news article)

3. old, faded photo of topless women playing rock'n'roll while
wearing Lucille Ball's eye makeup and giant Dynel wigs

4. picture of a phoenix captioned "aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
YOU GUYS PISSED ME OFF SO MUCH I HAD TO ARISE FROM THE FLAMES
TO BLOG ABOUT IT" in Adobe Minion

5. A weepy greeting-card-type image made from photos of
Harry Potter and some gal, captioned "Lost Without You"

6. small, blurry, washed-out, grainy frame-grab from some anime show
that was converted to a GIF too many times, leaving the image
only barely visible

7. 403 Forbidden!

8. the word "You", which is the marker indicating someone's
position on one of those OH-SO-IMPORTANT "what political
leanings do you have?" tests that people feel they need
to post their results to

9. misaligned composite of two photos of a gloomy, blurry laundry room

10. The standard little "userinfo.gif" icon that's used 390 times
per LiveJournal page -- for some reason these sometimes show
up on the list of new pictures.

11. DING DING DING! Gal's self-portrait, out of focus,
multicolored hair, and way too proud of the fact that
she's wearing makeup

12. hot air balloon either inflating or deflating, unless it's
meant to be that shape

13. guy sticking his tongue out in a photo that will render him
permanently outside the dating pool. Bonus points: Around his
neck, he's got a dangly little inverted cross.

14. automatically-generated collage of random words in different
fonts, with a big gray "SAMPLE" across the front of it because
you haven't yet paid for your own copy of this awesome
automatically-generated rectangle of garbage

15. Typically poorly-doodles webcomic with stick figure explaining
(in crooked lettering) that people with their own Wikipedia entries
have bad bathroom hygiene

16. screendump from someone's MMORPG session ("Succubus readies
Blade: Ku.")

17. Timothy Leary's creepiest smile ever

18. dolphins

19. a really bad drawing of a strawberry, or possibly an octopus
having sex with a bicycle seat covered in staples

20. DING DING DING! Self-portrait of someone's eye, all blurry
and with a datestamp burned into the corner in red fake LED digits

21. a tarot card, whoop-de-freakin'-doo

22. two little princesses

23. an even worse-than-average webcomic, involving two talking stick
figures, and one of the words of dialogue was crossed out then written
again because they figured out how to spell it halfway through
writing it (in other words, there's no "G" in "BACKPACK")

24. poster: "FOR EVERY ANIMAL YOU DON'T EAT, I'M GOING TO EAT THREE"
in Arial Bold (with straight single quotes for apostrophes)

25. poster for the movie "X-Men III"

26. very white men holding golf clubs in front of the world's
whitest building

27. hipsters smoking while looking at a cool trompe l'oeil ceiling
designed to look like you're looking at a funeral from below

28. "COME CHECK US OUT IF YOU'RE A BISEXUAL FEMALE" in some
cheapo comic-book-style font

29. a banner made from a publicity photo for the movie "The Lost Boys"
about teenage vampires, and I don't even have to click on it
to know that there's going to be icky slash-fic past it

30. antique photo of an old-timey guy in an ill-fitting derby
holding some sort of weird little mutant asymmetrical guitar
(technically known as a "harp mandolin", an ancestor of
Spock's wacky Vulcan lyre)

31. small photo of a drag queen

32. very nice black and white photo of a monument to something, somewhere

33. old black and white photo of a guy in a trenchcoat walking
away from the camera

34. Woman smiling uncomfortably as somebody photographs her crow's feet

35. " welcome to
the
Bicycle museuM
of
AmericA " in Goudy Oldstyle

36. Blank diploma YOU can buy!

37. DING DING DING! Woman's self-portrait with hair over one eye
and camera held above one temple. Bonus points: She included
her boyfriend in the background.

38. someone's birthday party

39. guy driving a racecar, or possibly sitting in it, because
still photos of racecars always look like they're holding still

40. "Penny Arcade" webcomic strip, and not one of their best ones,
but still a million times better than 99.99% of other webcomics

But wait! These things flood in so fast that while you were
reading this word --> nougat <-- 40 new images arrived! The newest 40:

1. very disturbing drawing of a baby getting a banana jammed
through his forehead. Well-executed and also a cry for help.

2. invisible image

3. "Help Veronica Mars Get a Full 3rd Season" banner (Arial Bold)

4. banner for "brisbane's finest gig guide" in some font that
apparently doesn't have capitals


5. Photo captioned "I'm usually a music elitist... But I LOVE
Teddy Geiger... [...] I really think we could be friends,
just based on the things I've read about him..." in Arial Bold

6. scary old guy shaking his fists while hugging a flag

7. someone attempting to hold up a two-page sign saying "THE FIRST
DAY OF THE REST OF OUR LIVES" in crazy-person lettering, with
their hand almost completely obscuring one of the nouns

8. two women, I dunno, "You must be logged in to view this
protected entry." Ha ha, images from protected entries show up
on the list of recent images so we can see them and not quite
no what they are. I think they might be lesbians.

9. glass-bead necklace wrapped around chopsticks

10. blurry extreme close-up of a dashboard thermometer saying "104 F"

11. a tote bag

12. full-resolution photo of cars driving on a road

13. hairy dog

14. drawing of four people who do not appear to have their joints
in the same places as humans, captioned "Brothers doesn't have
to mean blood." in Times New Roman, and one of the four is
wearing a shirt that says "Say NO TO Pants" in mixed-case,
and also, he looks a lot like me.

15. picture of an anime chick covering the area from her chin to
where her cleavage would be if she weren't just a cartoon

16. it's very tiny, but I can tell that Guy With Glasses is even
happier than Guy Without Glasses! And I think they're in a band!
They'd pretty much have to be!

17. painting of a psychedelic spiral

18. two kids from the "Narnia" movie, or something, I dunno,
I didn't see it.

19. screendump from someone's MMORPG session

20. arrow pointing to Fairbanks, Alaska

21. photo of a trash can with a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banner in it,
made more poignant by the 45-degree slant to the camera.
Poor Batman!

22. random street scene

I shudder to think.

Here in Nova Scotia, we have a little shoppe called "The Ice Cream
Window" that offers flavours heretofore unknown on the planet.

"Old Sneaker Ripple"
"Mattress Ticking Parfait"
"Chips o 'Lint"
"Sandy Sox"

etc. Perhaps they will contract some of their business to you.

I grew up hearing that it was going to be San Francisco that would
really get it from God. But maybe it still is the number one target
and God is just getting some warm ups in before the big game.

No, he's right about the chocolate ice cream (note I speeled it
correctly - it not tasting like real chocolot) - most of it
tastes like really weak chocolot milk. Some is good - and some,
with lots42 of dark chocolot slivers mixed in, is teh yum.

The Fourteen Holy Helpers are a group of saints sharing a common feast day
on 8 August (before 1969); they were first associated as a single unit
during desperation over the black plague. Most were removed from the
calendar and supressed by Vatican II.

higgledy piggledy
roman centurion
spikes on his helmet
that run through his brain -

that is what qualifies
Saint AGATHIUIUS
to cure people's migranes
and other head pain.


celebrant darii
not just a logic form
BARBARA: patron of
towers and fire,

geologists, hatters,
and mathematicians,
death when it's sudden
and diseases dire.


BLAISE is the patron
of choking and wool trade,
due to his martrdom
by carding combs

also is helpful
against death by wild beast
saving small children,
removing fish bones


kaboom and kersmashle
fireworks commemorate
this holy virgin
killed by a wheel

such a great story,
alexandrian CATHERINE
but, says the Vatican,
probably not real.


splishity sploshity
wading through rivers
comes CHRISTOPHER,
everyone's favorite saint

patron of travellers
and transportation
but Vatican II says
that he can't be and ain't.


higgledy piggeldy
exorcist Roman
converted the Persians,
was the king's best chum

Good will and friendship
from Diocletian too still
didn't save CYRIAC
from martyrdom.


Montmartre's bishop
Beheaded like Anne Boleyn
Walks round like she does
But means no harm

DENIS cures rabies
quite inexplicably
for someone who carries
his head 'neath his arm.


Bishop of Campagna
fled to Mount Lebanon
fed by a raven who
sang like a choir

Abdominal trouble? try
ERASMUS Formiae,
also for shipwrecks and
St. Elmo's fire.


Thrown to the lions
this great Roman general
Found them playing like kittens
with a ball of wool

Trajan didn't pardon
EUSTACIUS Placidus,
but cooked him and his family
inside a bronze bull.


Killing a dragon,
protecting a country
All in a day's work
for noble St. GEORGE

He protects armorers,
horsemen, syphilitics,
Bonny olde England
and men of the forge.


Wounded by friendly fire
from hunting arrows
St GILES refused medicine
other than thorns

Nevertheless a great
shepherd and monastic
sheep mark his feast day
with ribbons on horns


Another shepherd and
martyr by boiling pot
Et by a dragon
but coughed up alive

Patron of childbirth,
MARGARET of Antioch
also helps exiles
and nurses survive


Maxmilian's doctor
bribed, threatened and tortured
Was finally martyred by
nails and a knife

Treating consumption
Dr. PANTELEIMON
Also brings batchelors
and the tortured to life.

Martyred in boiling oil
during a thunderstorm
With roosters thrown in
just by mischance

Now he's the patron of
storms, oversleeping,
entertainment and
of course VITUS's dance.

I haven't psoted any, as I thin it stinks, but I do write

And have been published, but not paid.

Jebus, how could I forget "The Beautiful Day" especially after it was
chosen to be published by a legitimate publisher! Remember how those
r.a.p. guys were so jealous of an 8-year-old genius and tried to tell
him it was a trick? Hey, did Motis ever get his bottle of Aspen Cola?

One. That I know of. If they sent any more, my mom got
them. And my copy was drownded in the Great Sewer Back-Up of
'87. Which my mom blamed on 2 ply tp, not tree roots or
collapsed pipes (both of which were diagnosed by plumbers,
but we -all- know what rip-off artists they are)

I had six copies, but that was in 1974. I last wrote a real pome in
1993. I churned out some doggerel for my brother's 50th birfday in
1997. He got ambushed by the family in a restaurant, so he couldn't
cuss anyone out.
