Ice cream!

You see, what happened was that I wrote this fluffy Clint/Coulson story about ice cream. And apparently, dear readers, people seemed to like it. And then this happened:
(11:52:44 PM) sabinelagrande: just went to the store because I REALLY NEEDED a coke float. one away from 100 kudos on the ice cream story. if I hit it, should I drink two ice cream sodas in celebration?:
(11:55:32 PM) dizmo: Yes you should.

I wasn't expecting it to happen so fast, but then, thanks to some people it did. And I told tumblr about it, so then I had to do it. One does not break a promise to tumblr (more than two or three times a day).

But then it occurred to me that 1) I hadn't had an ice cream soda in, like, ten years 2) I'd never actually made one for myself. So it became, like, an actual challenge. So I have documented my challenge/reward for your pleasure/benefit.

So if you ever wanted to know how to make an ice cream soda, here is an image-heavy post about it )

So because I'm on this kick of making my own natural body products (not because I'm afraid of chemicals, mind, but because I am cheap and because it satisfies my inner eight-year-old, craving to play with the soaps) and because my flist is, due to the holiday, deader than Heaven on a Saturday night, I present to you with some recipes.

Under the cut: detangler, tattoo balm, lip balm, hair rinse )

I get all my supplies from Mountain Rose Herbs, which I highly recommend. I also make my own body butter, but honestly, I couldn't tell you how to make it. I put shea butter and cocoa butter and carrier oil and perfume in a double boiler, melt it all together, and cool it. More cocoa butter makes it harder, more shea butter makes it creamier, more carrier oil makes it thinner, perfume makes it smell nice (this latest batch is BPAL/ThinkGeek's Cthulhu In Love, which smells delicious). It also smells nice unscented, because the cocoa butter has a nice smell.

So there. Go forth and be moisturized.

So I was typing up this recipe for Mom, and I thought, "Hey, what filthy Communist doesn't like scones?" I should note that these are American-style scones, so, like, don't be shocked when they're really dry and crumbly (and delicious).
