Ice Cream Banana - What to do???
Comments (3)Hey, yardman, we did dodge the bullet, didn't we, thanks to the clouds off of that storm system in Ohio. It was like 38 at Oakland Pontiac Airport just a few miles NW of my house, and 32 in Lansing. Anyway, I assume this is an in-ground banana and not potted. I've wintered them a lot of years with probably 90-95% success. Just dig it up before the frost/freeze really does zap it, and leave a little bit, like six inches, of soil clinging to the bulb (if possible, if it's really sand or something and falls off, don't sweat it). Cut all of the leaves off (ok to leave the curled leaves at the top. Put the root into a big paper lawn and leaf bag, and then pack some DRY inert material around the root and part way up the pseudostem -- sawdust, shredded newspaper, sphaghnum moss. Then, tie up the bag in a couple places around the pseudostem so it will stay on. Store it for the winter somewhere dry and cool but non-freezing. I put mine in the utility room in the basement behind my water softener, in total darkness, and never water them all winter. Generally, the entire pseudostem will survive quite nicely. Sometimes, it will rot off part of the way down. Generally, several leaves will continue to grow and unfurl over the winter, and will be yellow/white due to no light. In spring, when it's safe, just replant it, and it will hardly miss a beat....See MoreHeavy Cream, Light Cream, Ice Cream
Comments (7)Since light cream can be up to 30% fat, I would use 2/3 cream and 1/3 milk. Actually, if I were making it myself, I would decrease the milk even more, since milk upsets me more than cream. I made strawberry ice cream Tuesday using a recipe that called for light cream, and I substituted all heavy cream. I took some to work because I can't eat all of it, and I thought DB didn't want it, but then after he had some yesterday, he decided it was very good. For myself, the most milk I would put it would be about 1/8 portion. I haven't noticed a problem with using all heavy cream, except that it did get very fluffy and I was afraid it would going to climb out of my ice cream machine, and so I ate little bits of it as it was going along. The worst thing that will happen is you will have excess volume, and you might want to make sure your ice cream maker will handle it. Everyone at work loved it.

Comments (20)Earthworm, you are right on target. What gets me the most about all this is politically we are told inflation is under control. I do not believe this because hidden inflation is never accounted for. The middle always gets squeezed. The corp. are sending jobs overseas, they have overseas corp. tax # to not pay taxes in the US. Ever wonder how we will be able to pay for the products when our pay goes down and prices go up. Oh, by the way in the homeland security bill there is a section that allows corporations to be incorporated out of this country to avoid taxes. Go figure, now I feel safer. Sorry guys, lost myself for a moment. As you can see I have pent up anger, lost too much money on all this stock market deregulation fiasco. We would pay more for Schwan's icecream, We love it....See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
