How to Make Alcoholic Ice Cream, the Greatest Dessert of All Time
From Gizmodo-
You love booze. You love ice cream. Unfortunately, if you cram ice cream full of alcohol, it won’t freeze. If only there were a way… THERE IS! Meet the ladies who cracked the code.
It’s Friday afternoon, you’ve made it through the long week, and it’s time for Happy Hour, Gizmodo’s weekly booze column. A cocktail shaker full of innovation, science, and alcohol. Boo yah, let’s get drunk.
Alcohol flavored ice creams are abundant: Bailey’s, Guinness, Jack Daniels, Rum Raisin—they’re everywhere. But none of them have any kick. Why? Because alcohol’s freezing point is waaaaay lower than water’s, which means that it’s damn near impossible to get boozy ice cream to retain that lovely, semi-solid form we so adore. So there’s no booze in them, which is STUPID.
Thank god for Valerie Lum and Jenise Addison, who figured out how to stabilize the alcohol using gelatin (look away, vegetarians). After countless nights of trial and error these two awesome women who should win Nobel Prizes have come up with a system that will allow you to incorporate a cup of 80 proof booze into a quart of ice cream. That nets ice cream that’s approximately 13-percent alcohol by volume. Not bad! The duo came up with 50 recipes for boozy ice creams and sorbets in their book Ice Cream Happy Hour. We quite enjoyed making the frozen White Russian in the video above; here’s what you’ll need to make it at home:

Pavilion Beach in Fog
Pavilion Beach in Fog
As the fog crept in off the ocean and descended on The Fort,
it was as if a curtain of cataracts had been drawn across my eyes,
blinding me to the familiar sights of Commercial Street and beyond;
limiting my vision to the nearby beach and shore.
What was in my sight stood bright and clear against the distant blur:
the rocks, sand, receding surf and, most of all, the ocean’s frothy edge,
like a highway on a GPS showing me the way from where I stood
to some unseen, mysterious distant destination.

And I thought Facebook Sucked!
And I thought Facebook Sucked!
I was one of a few who thought MYFACE AND SPACEBOOK was aWaste of “F’N” time!
but since the loss of our first Son, Brother, Grandson and all around friend “Paul #3” I’ve had a change of heart. Facebook has been a place to grieve with and stay in contact with all his friends from around New England and the World.
This has been “my” contact with the world these last few weeks.
Never understood it before but Facebook is a great place to celebrate, keep in touch with current and old friends and mourn Friends and family.
I Apologize to all Facebook fans.
I’ll try to keep an open mind now on all these social media websites.
here’s a few links to our son Paul #3 FB Pages;

Paul #3 is such a perfect soul. Not “was” but is! Too everyone that knew him they were lucky Too. To those he did’nt check out his pages! you’ll be lucky too!

Got the day in yesterday while the rest of the fleet was tied up. Won’t get these days back in February when the lobsters stop running. Every day fishing this time of year equals 4 in the winter. sometimes more.
