I liked the contrast between the yellow bedspread and the black cat.
As in the US "free speech" is a white supremacist code word for hate speech.
They didn't do it last time so vote neo-fascist Christian national because they surely will? Give you fucking head a shake.
Neo-fascist Christian nationalism is on the rise everywhere, including Canada. Pierre Polievre has made wild populist promises about fixing everything but doesn't have a plan to do any of it. His platform is 100% grievance and, "I'm not Justin Trudeau." Canada deserves better.
I'm a Candian. I'm suggesting that voting for Democrats would be far more likely to get you universal healthcare than voting for the neo-fascist Christian nationalists.
I'm a Candian here so take my advice for what is worth. Vote Democrat as cross the board.
I have cancer. Hodgkins Lymphoma. A felt a lump in my neck on Friday. Called the doctors office on Monday and saw the doctor on Wednesday. In the next two months I had an ultrasound that was, "worrying" followed up by a chest x-ray and full body CT. That necessitated a biopsy which resulted in the positive diagnosis of Hodgkins. That triggered a PET scan, respiratory study, and echocardiogram. I saw my oncologist a week after the PET scan and started chemo two days later. I just had my second infusion this morning and I'm feeling a bit beaten up. They gave me Ondensetron for the night after chemo and Olanzapine for nausea as needed. All I pay for is parking at the hospital and I can claim that on my taxes.
Universal healthcare is really, really hard to implement. That's why only 22 of the 23 most developed countries in the world have it.
The US health care system is a grotesque lie.
They sound like a bunch of the same people who would be on an HOA board and try to foreclose on someone because their grass was 1/4" too long.
The vet wasn't sure. She said his other teeth looked fine. He seems to be healthy other than being 10 Kg.
This guy had a full set of chompers but his brother from another mother lost his upper canines and a bunch of his little teeth. Now his upper lip gets stuck on his lower canines and he looks silly.
We have another car that size. Toothless is a good sized adult cat. His brother from another mother dwarfs him by over 10 pounds.
Where did I say that?
I've got it loaded with 8 flavors.
Vanilla
Smarties (Canadian)
Oreo
York Peppermint Pattie
Aztec Chocolate
Skor Bits
Skor Bar
Milk Chocolate Almond Crunch
I hope the kids (and their sibkings and parents and the other team and the umpire) like it.
This is probably my favorite ice cream shop. It's located on Fairmont Avenue at Gladstone in Ottawa, Ontario CANADA. They make awesome ice cream including a large vegan selection. You can buy it by the scoop in cones or bowls, as ice cream based treats, in pints, or my favorite, in milkshakes.
I had a delicious chocolate milk shake this afternoon and it was absolutely delicious. It's not one of those nasty extruded frozen treat things you get at fast food restaurants. It starts with three scoops of hard ice cream and milk and they mix it right in front of you.
If you're in Ottawa please go by and check them out. They're good people and make great ice cream.
I've been making ice cream. My son's softball team plays in a tournament in a couple of weeks. We have what we call the cake challenge where if they do any one of a number of things (hit the fence, score a home run, get a double play, get a bunt double) I'll make a cake and bring it to the next game. I've done it three times so far this year. I Decided that for the tournament I would make ice cream.
So far I've made:
No Nuts
22 x Vanilla
17 x Aztec Chocolate
12 x Smartie
11 x York Peppermint Pattie
12 x Oreo
Almonds
12 x Milk Chocolate Almond Crunch
24 x Skor Bits
12 x Skor Bar
That's 122 x 125 ml cups.
I hope that's enough.
This is just my standard vanilla ice cream base (500 ml 35% cream, 1 L 10% cream, 300 g sugar, 15 ml vanilla extract) with chopped Oreo cookies. I put 12 cookies in each batch and each batch makes twelve 125 ml cups so each cup has a full cookie in it.
We've had the machine on the right for years. We bought it new. We bought the one on the left at the Liquidators restaurant auction. I've got vanilla base in both. I'm going to put one batch in the freezer for the family and the other in 125 ml cups for my sons softball team. (Canadian) Smartie, I think.
This is a picture of the side of my market ice cream freezer. It's a bar fridge sized vertical freezer that I put in the back of my van and run off the van's AC power to get to market then switch over to a small, very quiet generator at market. These cards have magnetic strips on the back so they stick to the freezer and I can move them to the back when a flavour sells out.
Most of our ice cream starts with the same vanilla base recipe.
RECIPE
1 L (4 cups) table (10%) cream (Half and Half in the US)
300 g (1 1/2 cup) granulated sugar
500 ml (2 cups) whipping (35%) cream
15 ml (1 tablespoon) vanilla extract
I add 250 ml to 500 ml of whatever the addition is. (See NOTE 1)
PROCESS
Pour the 10% cream into a 2 L (8 cup) container.
Add the sugar and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. (See NOTE 2)
Add the 35% cream and vanilla extract and stir to mix.
Cover the container and put it into the fridge to chill or add it directly to your machine.
NOTE 1: If I'm using (Canadian) Smarties (like M&Ms but better) I use less because they pack very densely. If I'm adding nuts or something that packs more loosely I use more. When I'm making raspberry or blackberry or other fruit ice cream I use about 300 ml of mascerated berries (add about 12.5 g (1 tablespoon) of granulated sugar to the berries then mash them coarsely with a fork. Set them aside for 30 minutes or so to mascerate.) If you're using raspberries or blackberries or any other berries in the family always add them at the very end, just before the ice cream is finished or better, stir them in by hand after the ice cream is frozen. Berries in the family will produce very airy, almost foamy ice cream if added at the beginning.
NOTE 2: The sugar will not dissolve easily in the 35% cream or a mix of the 35% cream and 10% cream. It's much easier to dissolve it in the 10% cream then to add the 35% cream once it's dissolved.
This is a home made 18% milk fat ice cream with cinnamon and cayenne. It starts as a rich, creamy chocolate ice cream with a hit of cinnamon then it brings the burn.
The is a great ice cream for people who want a bit of pain with their pleasure.
Aztec Chocolate Ice Cream
INGREDIENTS
500 ml (2 cups) whipping cream (35%)
150 g (1 1/2 cup) granulated sugar
50 g (6 tablespoons) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cayenne powder (see NOTE)
85 g (3 ounces) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
15 ml (1 tablespoon)vanilla extract
1 L (4 cups) table cream (10%) (Half and Half in the US)
PROCESS
Put the whipping cream, sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, salt, and chili powder in a pot.
Heat over medium heat whisking constantly. It will begin to foam up as it begins to boil. Turn the heat off immediately.
Add the chocolate and stir until it's completely melted.
Add the vanilla then slowly add the 10% cream while stirring (or whisking.)
Put in the fridge for a couple of hours until well chilled.
Put it in your ice cream machine and run it until it's frozen.
Get a bowl, a spoon, and a Kleenex and you're ready for a delicious ice cream experience.
P.S. The tissue is for your runny nose.
NOTE: 2 teaspoons gives this ice cream a nice little burn. You can use more or less to get the heat level you want.
