This Week in Ice Cream Club – That Snow-Catching Hummingbird!

What a week! Ice creams and hummingbirds and filmmaking…! Oh my!

I Scream for October – Hallowe’en!

How does one please a witch? Witch, please! Give her a cool cauldron full of ice cream, and while you’re at it, some ice cream witch hats would be nice. Cover them in chocolate for that little extra something something. Maybe some curious curios, and maybe some fun specimens that she could portion into aContinue reading “I Scream for October – Hallowe’en!”

I Scream for October – Day 14

When I won the assortment of bats from Louisville Slugger, I just assumed they’d be the 28 oz, 30″ variety, and not the sort that gets in your hair. I eventually lost the hair, but the bats never left.

This Week in Ice Cream Club – Don’t be Sore, Bae.

Hey there Ice Cream Club! Sometimes I think I should be Sorbet Club. There have been weeks where I made nothing but sorbets, mostly because I got hold of a watermelon. Watermelons are an excellent base for sorbets, and I use them as much as possible. When I make a watermelon sorbet base, I simplyContinue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Don’t be Sore, Bae.”

I Scream for October – Day 13

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider. It was made of ice cream, and felt cool inside her. She enjoyed the feel of it’s cold dessert legs, but what she didn’t know was about the eggs. For days and days she felt obscure, and turned to the web to find a cure. OnlyContinue reading “I Scream for October – Day 13”

I Scream for October – Day 12

I blame the improv classes I took. They taught me, over and over again, that the foundation of good improv is ‘Yes, and…’ and even though that seemed a little simplistic, I repeated it until the words rang in my head all day. The problem wasn’t the application to improv, it was real life. IContinue reading “I Scream for October – Day 12”

I Scream for October – Day 11

One of the greatest accomplishments in most men’s lives is managing to impress a Goth Girl. While one might master the language of whalebone and crinoline, and the difference between royal velvet, back alley velour, and endless shame, it still might not be enough. I tried once, and failed. The dates in the cemetery wereContinue reading “I Scream for October – Day 11”

This Week in Ice Cream Club – Thanks

Hey there Ice Cream Club. If you’re Canadian, like me, you may have what’s known as a ‘turkey hangover.’ Mine is running a few days now. Soon I’ll have a turkey sandwich for lunch, then make a stock using the carcass from the turkey, and then eat some squash soup using the stock for dinner.Continue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Thanks”

I Scream for October – Day 10

Well, well, well. It’s a hazard, that’s what it is. The well. The construct of graham crackers that we built around that deep dark hole we found, that we assumed had water in it somewhere. Or maybe better than water. Wishes. I was watching this old VHS tape we found nearby the deep dark hole,Continue reading “I Scream for October – Day 10”

I Scream for October – Day 9

It’s become more and more common to find a large disclaimer notice outside seasonal corn mazes, reminding parents of the obvious dangers lurking within. The worst of these are the all-too-common nursery rhyme songbooks that are strewn all over the darkest paths of these mazes. Children become absorbed in these books, and cannot help butContinue reading “I Scream for October – Day 9”
