The BIG BOWL.

'And what can I get for you?'
'The Big Bowl Please..'
'The what?'
It was a moment of pure genius when Papa Snell (my father-in-law), not to be confused with Papa Smurf, brought us all to Heggy's Ice cream Shop and reinvented 'the kitchen sink'.
 

They had never seen anything like it and had definitely never had a request for one scoop of every ice cream they have with a double dose of the cherry m&m in one bowl.  That was a total of 17 scoops of ice cream. We played it safe in the toppings area- knowing that less truely is more- so we stuck to the hot fudge, whipped cream and a few maraschino cherries.
It was incredibly delicious and wonderful.
You could taste a little bit of every ice cream and they were all delicious.
The workers were in awe of our request and had to take some pictures for the Heggy wall.  We will now forever remain in infamy here in Alliance.
You should all come and visit so we can get another one.  It is a little much for Justin and I to do alone.... Myers and Ruby try hard but lets face it- they can eat only a fraction of the ice cream that an adult can eat.
Though you wouldn't know it from pictures like this:

He was a little crazy before the ice cream came out.  We couldn't get him to sit down.  But that huge bowl of deliciousness sure got his attention!

Ruby made sure to get her fair share as well!

She was working on crowding Uncle Jon out so that he would stop eating so much!

And we all know I enjoyed myself!

My favorite was the turtle flavor- delish!
Justin loved them all!

There was nothing left in that bowl when we were done!  Justin did refrain himself from licking it out when we were done- maybe next time....
But, like I said, we need someone to come help us.... We can't do it alone....
We are still looking for better names for it...  I liked big bowl but I feel like it lacks pizzazz...

Ice Cream Shake- how to

When Justin and I used to work at the science center we would make ice cream with liquid nitrogen. I am telling you it is SO delicious I cannot even describe. Unfortunately liquid nitrogen is a little costly, hard to store, and not readily available for the average consumer. So we had to do it a different way....
We used half and half cream (1 cup each)
feel free to replace that with whipping cream if you are feeling especially thin that day...
about 1 tbsp of sugar
and a dash of vanilla
Put that in a small ziploc bag- take out the air and close- and then place in another ziploc bag...
Double bagging is the key!!
Place that in a large freezer bag- fill with ice and 1/4 cup of salt
Any salt will do- some call for rock salt but table salt will do the trick
Double bag this as well... Or take your chances and wait until it starts to leak and then put in another bag...
Put on some winter gloves and...
SHAKE

Justin and Myers had some mad shaking skills....together they formed one super shaker...
Ruby- great smiler- not such a great shaker....
it takes about 15 minutes and then you will have delicious icecream!!

Enjoy! We did!
