Ice Cream Recipe
On Saturday night, I went to Cold Stone Creamery in Louisville, KY. I highly recommend it. Their shtick is to let one choose an ice cream flavor and a few toppings. They then roll the scoop of ice cream over a cold piece of marble and mash in the toppings. There were a variety of recipes from which to choose, but I thought up my own. In honor of my recent Earth History midterm, I present Ophiolite Ice Cream.

Guiding Principle: The more nutty the more mafic, the more chocolate the more felsic.

Olivine: Pecans
Gabbro: Roasted Almonds
Sheeted Dikes: Snickers Bars
Pillow Basalt: M+Ms (Peanuts in the shells!)
Marine Sediment: Brownies
The question of what ice cream to use is not so critical. I tried coffee ice cream, but brown chocolatey ice cream would work as well.

Taste: This ice cream is very hard to eat, especially after eating a lot of french fries and barbecued beef. On the other hand, it tastes wonderful.

I'm going to see Partenope on Friday night. I'm very excited. Bring on the countertenors!
