"Hey Mel? Is it soda first, or icecream?"
-Vivs, on the topic of root beer floats

the girl is adorable, but sometimes I have to wonder how she'll ever survive.

she discovered 94.1 Madison WJJO while waiting in the van for me to return from nosing around BA, though (I wanted to give the librarian flowers, as she's retiring and I love her), so that was fun. even if she did ditch my Gershwin CD for it :[ (p.s. "Lullaby for Strings" is love)

speaking of CDs, the_automatik, I got your MP3 mix in the mail today! haven't cracked into it just yet, but I shall very soon.



...whoah. the dog just materialized from amidst the to-be-folded laundry on my bed. wtf? I didn't even know he was in here.

my floats are usually roughly 2 parts root beer (or other fizzy soft drink) to 1 part ice cream, by volume, so/because basically what I do is fill the cup about 1/3 - 1/2 of the way with soda, then add ice cream, then top it off. that way you don't get all ice cream and fizz, which is what happens if you put the ice cream in first. the sticky, unpoppable fizz that happens when you pour the root beer over the ice cream just winds up filling your cup, and that's not fun.

and the fact that by the end of that I had to consciously keep from typing "custard" means that this is actually the method I learned while working at Culver's, therefore making it authoritative. win.

oh my god I am a loser

Well that's fancy. I don't think I've ever made them often enough to come up with a technique, but now I know the proper way to do it. ;)
