Ice Cream Round-Up

[surrealestate]

Sunday's barbecue was a great success and thanks to everyone who was part of it. If you left a container that you want back, please let me know ASAP, otherwise it will fall into the melting pot of our existing plastics collection, never to be seen again.

I count nineteen (and counting?) flavors mixed at the event and five additional flavors done the next day. If I left yours out, please let me know!

Sunday's Flavors:

• Apple/Green Tea/Ginger Sorbet -- dani_namaste
• Applesauce Sorbet -- DD
• Banana Ice Cream -- joyeous
• Bananas Foster & Grape Nuts -- kissoflife
• Burnt Caramel Sorbet -- heliopsis
• Cannoli Ice Cream -- Anna
• Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana -- pheromone
• C4 (Coconut Chocolate Chocolate Chip) -- pheromone
• Coconut Lime Habañero -- frobzwiththingz
• Coconut Lime Habañero (non-dairy (pretty much) edition) -- frobzwiththingz (with pheromone)
• Honey Lemon Sorbet -- heliopsis
• Kahlua Chocolate Sorbet -- kissoflife & oneagain
• Mango Pineapple Sorbet -- hybyny
• Maple Ice Cream -- ceo
• Moxie Sorbet -- marmota
• Peach Cardamom Ginger Meringue -- kissoflife
• Strawberry-Ginger Ice Cream -- queue
• Vodka Blackberry Sorbet -- pheromone
• Yoohoo Ice Cream -- Shana & Dave

Then on Monday, we had another flurry of ice cream making before the tank's departure in the morning. Due to other activities, this all took place after dark and was all quite mysterious, indeed.

warlord_mit and his lady friend made:

• Orange Sherbet
• Strawberry Ice Cream

I made:

• Two more batches of C4
• Cookies & Cream
• Maple Praline Pecan
• Mint Chocolate Chip

I think my overall favorite was the Vodka Blackberry and I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture of it, since the color was unbelievable. (But heck, I'm kicking myself in general for the lack of pictures, but I was going non-stop pretty much all day. If anyone else snapped any, please let me know.) I also really adored the Honey Lemon.

I didn't really have a particular expectation regarding how much ice cream would get made, so I can't say it's more or less than I thought, just that I was and am very very pleased with the results, particularly given the large number of would-be attendees who were out of town or otherwise unavailable. And how about a big hand for the folks who hadn't done this before but who jumped into the fray anyway! :)

I'm sure the long-term plan around the VB played a part in my feelings about it, so it's nice to have the external validation. :) I should start infusing some more.

I do have your stuff, of course! You were the exception to that statement since we discussed it before you left.
