like daughter like mother.
I come by this naturally. Which might be scary.

[15:54] stephanieclarkson: one of the things about this event is at night everyone makes a small thing of ice cream, and we all try some. there were 120 flavours over 2 nights, but over 200 people, so basically everyone gets a bowl of wee little scoops :-)
[15:54] joan_clarkson: what did you make
[15:54] stephanieclarkson: I made 'Nanaimo Bar'
[15:54] joan_clarkson: your father's favourite treat
[15:55] stephanieclarkson: a frozen custard, and then i made a sheet of the chocolate topping, and crackled it up and mixed it and small chunks of the cookie base in.
[15:56] joan_clarkson: how did it go over
[15:57] stephanieclarkson: really well. 7 people voted for it as 'Best Flavour', which considering almost none of the people present knew what a Nanaimo Bar *was* is pretty good :-)
[15:57] joan_clarkson: good for you for representing Canada.

[15:57] stephanieclarkson: some of the flavours are pretty out there. There was a Lobster Blueberry one, made out of, I think, bisque and berries.
[15:58] joan_clarkson: yuck.
[15:58] joan_clarkson: well maybe you can keep the Canadian thing going, and make butter tart ice cream. Or if they insist on eating gross things, you could make poutine. Make the gravy into a topping. Like that stuff they dip the cones in at Dairy Queen.

I had already decided on butter tart for next year. And considered poutine this year, though I had told JB at Beginning of Summer that I was thinking of a caramel-style swirl for the gravy, and using potato sticks as jimmies, sprinkled on top.
