Vanilla ice cream may be seen as the poor cousin to all the other amazing flavours you get out there. But, the way to tell if an ice cream is good is to order the vanilla. You want a smooth texture and you must be able to taste pure vanilla. It is after all, all about the vanilla! Here I have added honeycomb to my ice cream to add some crunch.
Honeycomb Ice Cream
I don’t often visit the animal pages on Facebook as when I do all I see are people who pass judgement. The Boxer Rescue page moans at everyone who does not chip their dog. Have you ever seen how they do this? Given how often Patch ran away we decided to chip Molly when we got her. She was 9 months old and weighed under 4 kilograms and they took this huge needle and shoved a chip into her neck. She did not enjoy the experience one little bit. And to make matters worse, the chip failed and she had to be injected again. This seemed like cruel and unusual punishment. When we got Misty I requested that they chip her while she was under general anaesthetic for her spaying. However, they could not do this as she had a ‘hot spot’ on her neck. And herein lies another area of judgement. The other day I read about a Jack Russell that had been found with terrible eczema. People on the lost and found page were cruel, damning the owner for her ‘neglect’ and instructing her what to do. She replied that her dog is currently on treatment and yet still the comments came in thick and fast. Molly had a brief skin problem which we discovered was an allergy to chicken. But Misty has hot spots and eczema and she worries her paws all the time. She is bald in areas and I would hate for her to get lost and have that same judgement thrown at me, because we do all that we can for her. I also do all that I can for Dave. He loves ice cream as long as it is not coffee flavoured. I decided to make a batch of vanilla ice cream. I left half plain and to the other container I added honeycomb for crunch.
