Help – Who Is Right or Wrong?

15 May

Snorts.  Friends – I need your help again on this one.  It’s really important that you sink your teeth into this one and help us out here at the Hotel Thompson.  You see, mommy has a problem.  When she gets stressed, she hits the hard stuff.  Straight up from the box.  That’s right – she goes for the ice cream… or in this case the Gelato.

 We are not talking a small bowl – we are talking get the entire tub out and graze straight from the container.  It helps that she bought this new stuff from the market a couple of weeks ago.  That’s right – a couple of WEEKS ago.  See, she hasn’t done too bad in stressing – there’s still some in the container – snorts.  And it may last for several months here at the Hotel Thompson… especially this flavor cause daddy doesn’t like it – snorts.  That’s fine… it’s more for me and mommy.

And by the way, this new stuff is awesome.  Nods head up and down.  I *might* have gotten a couple of tastes… of course in a bowl silly – snorts.  Mommy wouldn’t share her spoon.  This is caramel swirl Gelato.  You want a closer look don’t you?  Here you go:

See all of that caramel goodness?  When mommy gets her ‘tub’ out, she is in piggy heaven!  (I know I was.)  But I digress.  Here is where we need your help my friends.

When mommy takes her tub of gooey goodness out of the freezer, she nukes it in the microwave for 10 seconds to get the ‘hardness’ off of it so she can dig in with her shovel spoon.  Daddy says she’s two steps from insanity when she does this and that it’s not “right” to punish ice cream like that.

What do you think?  I mean personally, I like it either way and I’m not complaining – snorts.  But mom and dad laugh every time mommy does this.  Tell me she’s not the only one in the world that does this.  Tell me that daddy is not going to have to call the men with the little white jackets to come and take mommy away.  Thoughts?!  Please discuss.

    No he is not and he is just trying to make you and your Mommy laugh.
    I nuke my ice cream for a few seconds too so it is easier to get out of the container.

      Oh snorts. See if it’s rock hard, how do you shovel… spoon it into your mouth without your spoon going bonkers? Just a little nuke to make it more scoopable. Snorts. XOXO – Bacon

      Oh wow. A vote for daddy – snorts. To me it really doesn’t matter – you know cause I’m a pig and I eat that stuff down F.A.S.T. So fast that it doesn’t have time to melt – they call me the Hoover around these parts. Now you know why. XOXO – Bacon

    No help over here as we don’t have a sweet tooth and we seldom eat ice cream. I am deprived. Have a tremendous Thursday.

    Oh I have to side with your Mom on this one Bacon. On the rare occasion when my Dad has ice cream he nukes it just enough that he can scoop some out into a bowl. Can’t do it when it’s hard as a rock right from the freezer! A few seconds in the nukerator works every time. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it…..HAHAHA

    Hugs, sammy

     
    • PigLove

      05/15/2014 at 9:27 am

      Another vote for mom – YES! You gotta have a little pliability when scooping it out with the shovel. Just enough to get the cold frozen delicacy out and into your mouth. Yumm! XOXO – Bacon

    Oh, man, I used to be a hardcore Breyers fanatic (mint chocolate chip was my go-to). Then they sold the brand to some giant corporation and it just doesn’t taste the way it did when I was a kid. But I digress…

     
    • PigLove

      05/15/2014 at 9:30 am

      Snorts. This Breyers Gelato was a new thing that mommy had to try. Personally I think it was because the commercial was cute as can be – two adults eating ‘adult only’ gelato in the kitchen and the kid walks in wanting some. It’s so adorable. But yeah daddy knows how you feel. He used to go for the strawberry ice cream. But it’s not the same. XOXO – Bacon

    we prefer ice cream slightly soft too – dad does this all the time. One thing we don’t agree on though – that caramel is yuk – way to sweet. But – the tirramsu is to die for 🙂 Our dad actually worked for a Gelato company in Italy – they train all the gelato makers. There is nothing in this world better then REAL gelato.

     
    • PigLove

      05/15/2014 at 9:38 am

      oh mommy would love to try REAL gelato! Okay – I admit it. I would too – snorts. Daddy doesn’t like the caramel that mommy got because he says its too sweet as well. She might try another flavor later. XOXO – Bacon

      Yep…. but do you like hard out of the freezer of a little softer being nuked. That is the question – snorts. XOXO – Bacon

    05/15/2014 at 10:00 am

    First, Bacon, that looks DELICIOUS! And you get to eat some?! Yum. Second, gotta agree with your mom. You have to be able to get to the caramel yumminess, not have to
    WAIT until it’s melted. Help it along!!

    I’m afraid I’m completely deviant. First, I cut an appropriate amount of hard (!) ice cream from the tub with a bigger spoon or with a knife – yes, I struggle with it. Then, I stow the ice cream into a little bowl and put it into the microwave for 20 secs so that is gets dreamily creamy.

     
    • PigLove

      05/15/2014 at 11:09 am

      SEE That’s what I’m talking about. That’s the way to go. It has to be a little gooey ooey – mmm – now I want ice cream – snorts. XOXO – Bacon

       
      • kolytyi

        05/16/2014 at 1:27 pm

        Since there is conflicting evidence on the issue of whether ice cream can be melted before eating, I think the most appropriate and methodologically most satisfying solution is to collect empirical evidence. That is, you should make two experiments. First, you eat ice cream melted. Then, you eat ice cream unmelted. Then, you compare the results of the two experiments. If any doubt emerges about the reliability of these experiments, then, of course, control experiments might be needed.

        05/16/2014 at 1:59 pm

        Oh squeal! I love the way you think. I just know we are going to have to conduct experiments here at the Hotel Thompson. Lots and LOTS of experiments and of course I will volunteer to be the taste tester 😉 winks. You’re the best – thanks! XOXO – Bacon

    Just a few seconds in the microwave makes ice cream perfect. Dad needs to get his head checked!

      05/15/2014 at 11:10 am

      Exactly! Mommy is *not* crazy. Stomps hooves. I knew it. You just wait until I read these replies to that human daddy of mine. Thanks bro! XOXO – Bacon

    05/15/2014 at 11:13 am

    It is the right way for me, to put it in the microwave. We do that too. The taste is much better when it has the perfect texture. My mom throws it in the microwave because she is as greedy as a pack of wolves and can’t wait the 10 minutes what the manufacturer suggests. ( can you sit and wait for 10 minutes in front of an ice cream bucket? me not!) btw: my staff needs always a whole bucket to solve problems or when they exhausted :o)

      05/15/2014 at 12:16 pm

      See there you go brother. Our humans are related somehow someway over the pond. They act way too much alike not to be. And snorts – 10 minutes to wait. Yeah right. 10 minutes is eternity when you are stressed. It’s almost like when mommy is PMS’ing and has to get into that tricky little bottle of Midol. Who makes those caps? Terrorists? They say they are child proof… where’s a child when you need them to open one? XOXO – Bacon

        hahahaha, good one. brother, where are the childs? child proof things are the worst… even gas caps have a child safety lock. I mean why? kids have anyway no drivers license :o) my mom turned into a persona non grata today as she fought with the gas cap thingy and behind the Elephant Skater were 87 cars or more what had to wait :o)

    We don’t own a microwave. But I think Ice cream is nicer when it’s just a bit softer than frozen. Sometimes I mash it up while it’s thawing, if that makes sense. It’s probably the same as microwave.

     
    • PigLove

      05/19/2014 at 10:09 am

    Mom likes her ice cream a little softened, but she doesn’t nuke it. She says she is patient and takes it out for a while and waits for it to get mushy. What does patient even mean??? I have never heard of such a thing!

      I know! Patience is something that is NOT in this piggy’s vocabulary. Just ask mommy – snorts. When I want something, I want it like yesterday. I have been known to snout mom’s ankles a time or dozen to get her attention for NOW. XOXO – Bacon

    Mr B is the ice-cream officianado in our household. He’s pretty controlled though and always eats a sensible amount in a bowl. Then he sometimes goes back for another bowl, LOL. I can get that way with Lemon Greek Yogart though. I always put a little magic on it…aka Whipped Cream. Just a wee bit. Then sometimes sprinkle a tiny bit of granola on top of that. It ends up tasting like lemon pie. I actually would like some right about now…LOL gotta go.
