The things I do for my crafts...

[wiseheart]

I bought a box of really shitty ice-cream today. The things taste like water. Like boiled and cooled down water. *shudders* But they have the straight popsickles that I wanted for my new craft project. Of course, 11 such little things aren't a lot, so we might eat our way through a great deal more shitty ice-cream in the future. *sigh* At least it is cold.

Other than that, not much happening here. It's a break in the footie, so not even passing out in front of the telly is an option. picowrimo starts tomorrow, but my brain is cooked solid in this heat, so I don't know how much writing I'll get done during this session. Too bad; it would be nice to make at least some progress.

We had Topfenknödel again today... with the strawberry syrup my friend Evie made and gave me as a gift. They were yummy together, even though boiling water for the dumplings in this heat was a real ordeal.

You have heat still? We are down to eleven. My teeth are rattling...

The weather is truly insane this year.

Is it still so hot where you are?
It's cooled down a lot here, only 20° today.

Still above 30°C. They promise slightly cooler for the upcoming 3 or 4 days — then it will go up again, apparently.

what brand were they so I know not to get them?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

They're from Gelatelli which are usually very good. Just not this Sea Adventure collection. But they have the sticks I need, and they're cold, so I'll cope. For a while anyway.

Oh, don't eat bad ice cream, that's a depressing thought. Could you buy a box of straight popsicle sticks and then make some popsicles or sorbet yourself and use the sticks for that? Recycle afterwards?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Alas, I never saw the sticks sold on their own. I'm sure there are special shops that sell them, but I never saw any.

*fans you*

Aww, thanks!

I'm beginning to feel left out, with all your talk of excessive heat and that of my friends in the US. On the other hand, it's a nice kind of 'left out'. I don't do humid heat well...and UK heat is always humid.

I can only imagine how nice it feels to be "left out". *g* Good for you!

I feel comforted that I can purchase the sticks without the nasty tasting cheap ice cream substitute. (There's a craft store close by.) The only thing I have to remember are the various names the sticks are called:
Popsicle sticks
Tongue depressers
Craft sticks
Ice cream sticks

Wishing you a cooling breeze, at least, if not cooler temperatures.
