s2s! How is the toe? Well. . . Memorial Day is almost upon us and I almost have the house cleaned (must take the razor blade to the floors to remove the stickers, again) and the 2 ice cream bases are made. I will be churning them today or tomorrow. I must first re-arrange the freezer. I have made the homemade scutterbotch and strawberry topping. The chocolate I bought. In the Hershey's can. Those plastic squeeze bottles just do not taste right. I made enough strawberry topping for an army. When I was buying the ingredients and starting the process, I was worried about not having enough. I would say that almost a gallon of strawberry topping is enough. Oooops. Ah well. It can be frozen, like jam, and used for pancake topping (the other half loves that) or for making strawberry shortcake. I am not completely thrilled with the scutterbotch. I am wondering if re-doing it with more cream would make me happier. Of course, I am not a chemist so I have NO idea what adding more cream would do to the whole process. Overall, I am pretty much prepared for Memorial Day. I have all of the stuff for the Taco Bar purchased, and I bought the lettuce already shredded, so actual prep time is about nil. Less than an hour, and that will all be ready. The stuff for the after-swimming Sundae Bar is 'made' except for the churning and freezing. So I think that I am doing rather well. How about the rest of you? I know that Celeste is going to comment on her 18 dozen cookies in 16 types and that will leave me in awe. Oh. . . and she will have a dozen or so salads and side dishes as well. I have no idea how she does it. Are you all ready for the three-day weekend?
