There’s a holiday coming up tomorrow, but I can’t remember what it is. Oh well. Last night was kind of strange in the neighborhood. Kids kept knocking on my door and asking for treats (or tricks, but I didn’t know any). And oddly enough, they were all dressed in costumes. At one point, two witches, a zombie and a Power Ranger paid a visit and they all seemed so enthusiastic that I finally dug through a drawer in my kitchen and found some tic tacs to give them. They didn’t seem pleased with that treat, but it was all I had.
Wait! This happened last year around this time (and the year before if I remember correctly). That must mean that it’s HALLOWEEN! Ahh, it all makes perfect sense now! Well, Happy Halloween to everyone. I’d suggest giving out Turkey Hill ice cream to your michevious visitors, but I don’t think that would end too well.
P.S. – We’re very close to reaching a milestone here on the Ice Cream Journal. To date, our cozy little ice cream blog has attracted 1,979,904 visitors, which means we’re a stones throw away from reaching TWO MILLION visitors! According to my calculations, we should surpass the two mil mark any day now. To celebrate, I’m going to give away a special prize (to be announced later) to our two millionth visitor. Could it be you?
In keeping with our October Halloween theme, this edition of Ice Cream Trivia will feature questions in the same general Halloweenish vein. Send your responses to icecreamjournal@gmail.com or use the Ask Ernie link on the right. Three people who answer all the questions correctly will be chosen at random to receive some free Turkey Hill ice cream! Who needs a trick when you can have a treat like that?
Some of you may be attending a Halloween party in the coming weeks, and this recipe would be a perfect side dish for such a ghoulish event. It’s also frighteningly easy to make.
If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
