News from Indiana

Hi!

Went to "Little Mexico" (yes it is called that) located in Crawfordsville, Indiana and had a great dinner, for dessert we had Fried Ice Cream.

As pictured, it was topped with whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce and a cherry plopped on top....Fabulous! My mother Sue, sister Lori, friend Matt and my beau John were there. My beau did not partake due to lactose intolerance....

My mother had never heard of fried ice cream. For those of you that follow in her footsteps, here is the gist of it:

Fried Ice Cream:
vanilla ice cream
frosted flakes
*powdered sugar
*cinnamon
almond slivers
vegetable oil for frying

Heat the Vegetable Oil in a large pot. While the oil is heating, take the Frosted Flakes and put them into a Ziploc bag. Smash them until they are pea-size pieces. Pour the Frosted Flakes and almonds into a large bowl. Take the scoop of Ice Cream and drop it into the bowl. Roll the Ice Cream around in the cereal and nuts until it is well coated. Take the cereal covered Ice Cream ball and drop it into the hot oil for 30-45 sec. *Optional - Take the Ice Cream out of the Oil and dust with Cinnamon and Powdered Sugar. Serve immediately.

Had fun, wish you all were there!
