Ice Cream of the Gods.

[nfotxn]

Häagen-Dazs has Dulce De Leche ice cream. I remember having Dulce De Leche at my friend Martin's. His family is Argentinia and they know how to eat.

I can only describe it as caramel as if it were only made from lactose. Milky and sweet, like suckling at the teets of Shiva herself.

Sounds like I need to have another bowl of Ice Cream and fantasize about that.

OMG I looooove Dulce de Leche! Another good one to try, if you like that is Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra. Absolutely delicious!

Dulce de Leche ... they had M&M's here that were dulce de leche, and in this area, they bombed, so they're only down south. Damn it.

July, 1997 ( I think...maybe 98)

-Pillsbury Corporation, Pillsbury Center, Mpls.

I worked as a temp for Pillsbury for years in about 30 different capacities....and believe me...there are worse companies to work for...free samples of everything like ALL the time.

I did invoicing for Haagen-Dazs for a couple years until it was bought by Nestle and moved out to California.

Floundering Food Giant Pillsbury still owns
Haagen-Dazs and is testing and launching their new Carmel Con-Leche and their Pistachio ice creams- in association with a whole bunch of new products they wee pushing.

This was back during one of my particular favorite periods in popular culture

--the The Days of Chips and Salsa"...(sighhh...good times)

Seriosuly, it was suddenly a North American Mania...that swept across America...Old El Paso (another Pillsbury Co)...was going through the roof... so R&D went to town on a Latin Ice cream...

They're having all the vps and muckey mucks from Pillsbury WorldWide and the reps for all the wholesalers for a big "Taste Off" deal...

So I get a call from the Plant way out in the suburbs begging me to come out and help package ice cream bars?

(I'm like.."Dude? I'm corporate...I'm not kitchen staff?!")
They were desperate...my boss was cool with it...so they sent a cab for me...bought me lunch and doubled my salary for the two days...they were sooo grateful, at the end of the day...they're like "Take WHATEVER you like.)...they open this massive freezer door...& it was like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction.....EVERY possible flavor of Haagen Dasz is there in odd exaggerated sized packaging...it was really cool. (don't say it!)


(& personally....I'm so totally Rum Raisin's Bitch....so I load my Back pack and a paper sack...) and leave....they lock everything up tighter than a drum and the parking lot clears out in literally 8 minutes on Friday.)

It's about 96 degrees in the shade....

my cab? no where...vanished...poof!

...there's no phone outside...it's a weird isolated complex in the middle of nowhere....and I have 13 cartons of ice cream..including 3 of each new flavor....melting all over my pack pack...soaking through and ruining the paperbag...

It was hilarious.

I'm standing there like it's a silent movie


I'm screaming at god and karma and fate in between gulps of Dulce Con Leche and Pistachio Malt....

The cab shows up about 20 minutes later and I'm standing there LITERALLY balancing these stacked containers of the most perfect liquid perfection ever created by man like I was a circus performer.

I teeter into the Cab screaming

"Drive..DRIVE...For the LOVE OF GOD...Franklin and Lyndale... Downtown...It's a corporate account (w/gratuity included)AND this twenty spot sticking out of my shirt pocket here is yours if you can make it happen in ten minutes."

off like a shot he goes...it took him twelve...I said

"I dunno man....if you'll come open my door for me, it's yours."

he did, (I even got him to take the keys outta my pocket--*smirk*...)

I gave it to him gratefully...

We only lost one that day...it was one too many...
but fortunately...it was only the pistachio.

(that's my Haagen Dazs Dulce Con Leche Story....remind me to tell you the Toaster Struddel Story some time)

Actually Dude I was talking to Tony not to long ago and that's completely wrong - Shiva is a male God, representing the male half of the union in Tantra, and in Hinduism that evolved out of Tantra, the third God of the Triad known as the God of destruction or "angry god".

But all together masculine - it was Shakti which was the female counter part.

There is however a feminization of his name - Shivani.

If you want the recipe of how to make it I can give it to you. My mom is from Peru. :o)

[theotherqpc.livejournal.com]

how does hers work? mine goes:

scald & strain milk
boil milk
add some unnaturally large amount of sugar (4 cups per half-gallon?), a teaspoon of baking powder (or is it baking soda?), and the scrapings from one vanilla bean
boil down until thick, dark, and drool-inducing.

i made it a while back, adding some heavy cream to the milk...*dies*

[enigmacub.livejournal.com]

Ok this is the QD method my mom uses instead of preparing it all the way through. Get a can of sweetended condenced milk, remove label, place in pot where water is near top of can, heat on high for 2 hours. The can acts as a preasure cooker. Then let stand and cool for one day so it can thicken up. Bamn done enjoy! If you want I can beg my mom for the long version, but I use it as filling for Afajores(creme filled cookies, so I use the less time consuming version)

[theotherqpc.livejournal.com]

ahhh...okay, i've heard that one...i'm a freak in the kitchen, tho ;)

[enigmacub.livejournal.com]

So am I, I love cooking but this version you don't have to babysit for fear of messing it up.
