Ice Cream

Did you know that they make garlic ice cream?  Gross!  Do you want to know more about ice cream?  You’re about to know!

Some of the grossest flavors in the world can be found.  Here they are.  Ill go with the grossest first.  Number one is ham and cheese.  I’ve already lost my appetite.  Number two is sweet, sticky black rice.  Gross!  Number three is Michigan salad.  Yuck!  Number four is garlic.  Disgusting!  Number five is mustard.  Blahh!  Number six is maple hickory.  Grody.  Number seven is avocado.  Gross, gross, gross, gross.  Number eight is cinnamon toast.  Yuck!

I wondered what the most popular flavors of ice cream would be.  They are vanilla at number one.  Then come chocolate, butter pecan, strawberry, Neapolitan, chocolate chip, French vanilla, cookies and cream, vanilla fudge ripple, praline pecan, cherry, chocolate almond, coffee, rocky road, and chocolate marshmallow.

Do you want to know what the top ten Ben and Jerry’s flavors are at the moment?  Number one is Americone Dream.  Next comes fish food, scotchy scotch scotch, New York super fudge chunk, late night snack, coffee Heath bar crunch, cinnamon buns, chocolate fudge brownie, and salted caramel.  Yum!

I always wanted to know what is in ice cream.  Number one is fat from the cream.  Ice cream usually has seven to twenty-two grams of fat.  There are calories in ice cream.  The calories vary on different brands and flavors.  A half cut of ice cream can have 120-250 calories.  A serving is half a cup.  If you eat that much, a pint has four servings.  Most people eat twice as much.  Ice cream also has sugar.  The healthier calorie kinds often have more sugar in them.  The sugar is made up of sucrose and corn syrup.  It can also have xantham gum, which is used for separation.

I want to try making my own homemade ice cream!

My Aunt’s Wedding

We went to Twin Farms, which is a very fancy hotel.

We went kayaking for the first time, but I kept getting stuck.  Then my cousin had to pull me out!  We went in the hot tub at our grammy’s place while we waited to have our hair styled.  I was a flower girl.

We went to the rehearsal dinner, and we got Italian ice cream.  I go to help serve it.  After the rehearsal dinner, we went on the deck by the pond, and I almost fell in.

At the wedding, we got to eat dinner.  The wedding cake was gross, so we got hot chocolate instead.  Then we got to dance.  We were the first ones on the dance floor.  They had chocolates on a plate, so we ate some.  Then our grammy and her brother started dancing.  It was very funny.  We took a tour of the garden, and we went swimming in the pond.

It was the best wedding I have ever been to!

My Air Freshener

On the first day my cousins were here, my cousin who is my age and I went upstairs to one of the bathrooms.  We made air fresheners, masks, and beaches.

First, we made the beach.  We took baby powder and dumped some of it on to one side of the plate.  Then we took wet stuff and squirted it on the “sand” to look like jellyfish.  We put water on the plate and added some soap to make foam.

Next, we made the air fresheners.  We took all the products that we could find and poured all of them on the plate, except one.  We mixed them all up and then took a tissue to wipe off the plate.  The thing still smelled.

The last thing we did was make masks.  We took a paper plate and cut holes for the eyes, put hair on, drew a face and a nose, and added ribbon for the strap.  Then we had a show.

It was fun.
