Childhood reminiscences
When you're young, you experience the world not only through memory but by sight and your other senses. You can remember the familiar scents of home: your mother cooking your favorite dinner, your father's aftershave, the scent of freshly laundered sheets, and other scents that bring you comfort. Taste is also a big thing when you are young. You remember the flavors of your childhood. And ice cream was the biggest wasn't it?
At my age, I remember Thrifty's ice cream (Rite-Aid now)and getting a double scoop of Double Chocolate Malted Crunch. The ice cream is still around in certain places and you are definitely lucky to have it available to you.

I found these through yumsugar.com. Well if you haven't read yumsugar then take a gander below.
Bring back memories doesn't it? :) The cylindrical shape of the scoop ready for stacking just like good ol' Thrifty's. Get the scoop here:Ice Cream Scoop & Stacks for $16.95 each from Cuisipro. Now just get the ice cream. For me, I prefer the Double Chocolate Malted Crunch.
Not-So-Instant Mac N' Cheese
A quick dish using shredded 4 Cheese Blend Mexican Cheese, unsalted butter, 1/2 lb of cooked farfalle (bowtie) pasta leftover from my pasta salad, and whole milk.
[picture]
1/2 package of farfalle, cooked and drained
1/4 c. (4 tbsp) of butter, unsalted
1 c. shredded 4 Cheese Blend Mexican Cheese
1/3 c. whole milk
a dash of pepper
In a saucepan, combine the milk and butter and cook over medium high heat until the milk is hot and butter is melted. Add the 1 c. of cheese and stir until cheese is melted and incorporated. The sauce will thicken when cooled. Take saucepan off of heat and pour into a bowl. Throw in the cooked and drained farfalle and toss in the cheese sauce. Add pepper and stir. :D
