Every night after supper, I like to help myself to a bowl of ice cream. It is my favorite dessert in the entire world. My wife likes to eat it immediately after supper if she is going to eat it, saying that it gives her heartburn if she eats it too close to bedtime.
My wife doesn’t like to take me grocery shopping with her because I go straight to the ice cream freezers and load up on ice cream. My favorite flavor is Natural Vanilla Bean, but sometimes I like other flavors, like strawberry. My wife’s favorite flavor is strawberry cheesecake.
I want to buy an ice cream maker, so we can make our own soft ice cream here at home. I’m going to check the wize.com website and see what their recommendations are for the best ice cream maker. I think that it would be so wonderful to be able to make our own ice cream here, nice and smooth, creamy and fresh.
My wife showed me an article from a local newspaper today about how Red Virginia crabs have recently been introduced to the folks in Virginia as an additional choice in their seafood menus. I’ve never been highly informed about crabs in the past, having grown up in New England, I’ve always been a lobster man. In fact I can say with complete honesty that I’ve never eaten a steamed blue crab in my life. My wife says that anything with a shell is too much work for her to bother with; she’ll eat it if its already been cooked and shelled, but she won’t cook it OR shell it herself.
Anyway, apparently Red Virginia crabs are caught in the ocean off of the shores of Virginia and are a lot larger than the blue crabs are. The newspaper article said that the Red Crabs are at least a full pound larger than the blue crabs! The blue crabs have been over-harvested and are becoming scarce, so the local restaurants are starting to offer Red Crabs, and the folks seem to love them!
