I am still on a wait list to get this. What the hell Amazon.
Don't blame Amazon! The publisher (a small state historical press) only printed 15,000 copies in the first run, and since small publishers don't have a huge amount of money (and academic books usually aren't hugely popular), they were shocked at how many orders they received--something like 30,000 from Amazon alone by December. Just try to be patient, and pat yourself on the back for supporting a historical press! (historians around the world thank you.)
My teen was a vegetarian for a whole week. It didn't last long when she realized she had no meat but could eat veggies, rice, etc. Well the kid doesn't like veggies or rice, or anything else. When I make dinner she usually eats the meat and that's it. I saw this as a fail from the moment she told me.
We tried! It, uh, didn't go well. It basically just poured into the snow and sank.
In Farmer Boy it describes them making ice cream by mixing milk, eggs and sugar in a container. They put the container in ice, taking it out to stir occasionally until it became ice cream. After reading that as a child I mixed milk, sugar and eggs (I guessed on the amounts since they weren't specified). Then I washed out an empty cottage cheese container, poured in my mix and stuck it in the freezer. I took it out to stir it occasionally. My "ice cream" did not turn out well.
