Too Smooth

The pops I set to freeze yesterday remains soft and smooth at this cold temp, hmmmm. I guess the blend of smooth peanut butter, coconut milk, banana, sugar and particular a shot of high-proof vanilla extract and a dash of salt not only inhibited crystallization, it inhibited freezing to a rock, so when you pull the pop out of the form, only the stick comes out! Huh. Tastes good, a tad too sweet, gonna re formulate with less sugar and more fruit next time.

A good friend has come up with an idea for a dinner club, similar to a book club but with dinner parties instead of books. TBD.

TODAY'S COOKING
Cookies n' Creme Ice Cream: It's always satisfying when a churn goes well -- the custard is thick and cold enough to take on air quickly, and it rises to the top of the barrel. When it reaches the top, I poured in the ground up oreos to mix it in properly.

AM SNACK: 9:30am, small amount of coco-peanut-banana "ice cream"

LUNCH: 12:15pm, hot dog, health salad, potato salad, pickle, greeny pasta, large slice of watermelon, 3 oreos, water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Almost like a trawl through the fridge to finish things before they went bad.

DINNER: 5:30pm, pizza, homemade ice cream, water, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5 
B ordered in pizzas from Lombardis because her pop and brother were over.
