If you think Hailey wants oatmeal for supper when she asks for it,
you're wrong!
She meant to say "noodles".
If you think I'm too old to be fake-surprised by the fake-sleeping body in my cupboard,
you're wrong!
If you think I can clean up faster than the grandkids can mess up,
you're wrong!
If you think the grandkids are finding new and different places to play, places their mom never found,
you're wrong!
If you think my kitchen is so clean Makayla should be eating off the floor,
you're wrong!
If you think you can get kids to play in the family room, bedroom, living room,
or any other room you are not in,
you're wrong!
If you think Hailey is going to let those aliens shoot us with gamma rays,
you're wrong!
you're wrong!
If you think you can prevent a two year old
from having a full-fledged temper tantrum,
complete with a dramatic, fall-to-the-floor-fit,
you're wrong!
If you think we can ever get tired of sticky hugs and slobbery kisses,
you're wrong!
If you think you might mix Montana up with Hawaii, I hope
you're wrong!
you're wrong!
Sunday morning, after 8+ of snow in last 24 hours
And if you think all that snow and Sunday's high of 4 means I'm done trying new ice cream flavors,
Seriously, people! Are you kidding me?!? Of course you're wrong!
Toasted Coconut Ice Cream with Macadamia Nuts
and Hot Fudge
6 egg yolks
and Hot Fudge
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup of sugar
pinch of salt
2 cups of cream
1 cup of coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 cup of toasted coconut shreds
2/3 cups of roughly chopped and toasted macadamia nuts
Heat up the coconut milk, 1 cup of the cream, sugar, and salt in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Stir the milk and cream until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to slightly boil. Then temper the egg yolks with the ice cream base (Pour small amount of hot mixture into eggs; stir. Continue adding small amounts into egg, stirring well after each addition). Pour the tempered eggs back into the sauce pan and heat until the custard reaches 170 degrees F. Place the ice cream base in a heat proof bowl, add the remaining cream, vanilla extract, and toasted coconut shreds, and let it sit over an ice bath. When the mixture has cooled, place in your refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Follow your ice cream maker instruction for churning.
THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE!!
To be fair, I should add that I love coconut.
Stan still thinks Raspberry is better, but this is next.
Megan thinks it "tastes like whip cream" and added with disgust, "It has coconut in it!!"
Don't put too much stock in what Megan says. She's had a busy weekend. She's the same girl who can't decide between P. Dub, Mr. Pocatello, J. Alumni, or C. Co-worker. You don't like my ice cream, Megan?

Comment:
If you have leftover sauce, store it in the fridge. You might need to add a few teaspoons of water when you reheat it.

There is a new boy! I knew if there was a boy working at Old Navy with her he'd like her. Oh dear!
You don't mean "oh dear", you mean "poor mom"!
I love the picture of the bowl heads. Perhaps my favorite ever.
