Sticking Tongue to Frozen Metal and a Recipe for Frozen Times<\/b>
\nThe other night, I was making the milkshakes that we give the boys before they go to bed. I had finished doling out the ice cream, and thought that I would just eat the little bit that was left on the ice cream scoop before placing it in the sink. I’m such a genius, not. After scooping ice cream for 4 milkshakes, the scoop was pretty much frozen itself. You know what happened. At least I can pretty much be sure to remember this little happening and not do it again….<\/p>\n
