yum...cookies & cream

Seeing as how I have now made it twice and raved about it both times, I'm posting my Cookies & Cream ice cream "recipe". (Where by recipe, I mean "base I hijacked from a different ice cream recipe, then sliced, diced, and reassembled to suit my own nefarious purposes.")

Cookies & Cream Ice Cream

2c /584mL extra thick double cream
1c whole milk
3/4 c sugar*
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp Bailey's
----------
8 Oreos, smashed
dash Bailey's
chocolate/mint chocolate shavings (optional)

In a large bowl, combine double cream, milk, vanilla, Bailey's. Whisk in the sugar, stir until it starts to dissolve. Pour mixture into ice cream maker. While cream mixture is churning, add 3/4 of the smashed Oreos and the dash of Bailey's. Allow ice cream maker to finish. Dust container with part of remaining smashed Oreos. Pour finished ice cream into container. Top with remaining smashed Oreos, chocolate shavings. Freeze and enjoy.


*I suspect 1/2c would actually do just as well, but forgot to try it this time. Will hopefully remember next time and report the results.

yep, i thought that one through

I did laundry yesterday. My jacket was smelly from too many trips to pubs, running around, etc, so I tossed it in with the jeans. Realized today that I will likely be expected at pub quiz night tomorrow night, where it is always smoky and I come home and see how fast I can strip off between the door and the shower.
*headdesk*
When is that smoking ban coming in?

edit
*double headdesk*
Have just realize that the Milan-Bayern game is tomorrow night. The pub we go to for quiz night does not show football. Why couldn't M-B be Wednesday and Roma-ManU be Tuesday??

*insert joke about the eastern front/Red Army here*

I almost went with a German headline, but no one would have gotten it. Ah, well. The point of all this is that in contrast to certain Italian teams (yeah, Palermo, I'm looking at you) Bayern München have chosen to complain about the ref before the match. Their beef? Well, Russian Yuri Baskakov is too inexperienced. Also, too Russian- apparently Bayern didn't like last year's Russian ref, so they're making a stink about this one in advance, calling his selection "very unfortunate." Besides bitching about der Russe, they're also making noises about Pippo Inzaghi's acting abilities. (But they did say some nice things about Kaka.)

today in the wonderful world of science

Scientists announced they have found enzymes that can potentially convert A, B, or AB to O. If it works, any rhesus negative blood can become the magic O-neg.
