Spring Break

So I had an idea for my own outfit for Morgan's Wedding and then, well, it transformed. I don't do well sitting around and they are so quick and easy to do. Tutorial here. Anyway we might end up making a lot more for Morgan's wedding. We'll see.

Car Woes

Thankfully not my own. Today during parent pick up a car pulls up. As it stops for the students to get in there is a loud noise, steam goes EVERYWHERE, and all of their anti-freeze is dumped in the streets. Needless to say the kids in the car where frightened as well as the mom. They pushed the car out of the way  so we could keep traffic going, but there was still a giant puddle of anti-freeze. Of course all the kiddos were excited and talking about it. There were some pretty funny things said about the exploding car. The funniest was from a kid to his mom while he was getting in the car. The mom had just driven over the green coolant, when he climbs in he yells, "Mom, you just stepped in car pee!" CLASSIC. Funny lines like that have to be the silver lining to those unfortunate events. I find keeping kids around often lighten the mood.

Ice Cream

I have some friends who LOVE going out to eat ice cream. I am talking about 3 times a week. Occasionally I would go with them. Then I got to thinking, how many times would I have to skip on going out to get ice cream to justify buying a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker. Turned out to be 15 times. With the rate that my friends went to get froyo I had a new ice cream maker in just over a month. I thought I would save money by making my ice cream. Well, only sort of. Shelby got me a really cool cookbook for my birthday last year and it has some really tasty recipes in it. Last week I made a Sea Salt caramel ice cream and a pistachio gelato. Both were really tasty. 

My custard making abilities are improving as well. After my ice cream adventures were over I had 16 (yikes) egg whites in my refrigerator. 

If anyone has ideas for other ice cream flavors, or ideas on how to use egg whites let me know!
