Ice Cream

Last night I made ice cream using the Good Eats "9,8,3,2,1" recipe. The ice cream is very good. I may need to let it churn longer though.

Also, the recipe is not cheap and Mark ate most of it at one serving. I have to figure out what side desserts to serve with it, to help stretch it out.

Loves Landing.

Loves Landing is a neighborhood bar off Airport way in Renton. Mark says the crowd is like a high school crowd that forgot they had grown up.

Loves Landing has two claims to fame.

First claim are their burgers. They are excellent. Big, tasty and on a fine and fresh bun.

Second claim is that they have kareoke every night. Some of the singers are not that bad.I recommend it.
