Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

An Italian dessert treat

Scoop of Haagen Dazs vanilla ice cream. Splash with a shot of your best Scotch whiskey, then lightly dust with freshly powder-ground dark espresso coffee bean. Scotch whiskey on an Italian dessert? I call that cultural appropriation.


If you don't like this, there is something wrong with you. Plus, it combines a sweet, an after-dinner drink, and after-dinner coffee, all-in-one.


Last night, friends served us home-made vanilla gelato with a handful of raspberries on top, then sprinkled with mini chocolate chips. Damn simple and tasty.

yes, there is something about raspberry syrup and chocolate syrup in your mocha java that means that you have to tell your taste buds to go get a room.

I've always found vanilla ice cream easy to resist, but I have a harder time with dark chocolate, or coffee, or pistachio ice cream, or for that matter many sorbets. On something that normally takes vanilla ice cream, I'd usually prefer a barely-sweetened whipped cream.

I confess I did some cultural appropriation a while back when I used up some boutique maple syrup by mixing it in some ricotta cheese in a variation of cannoli filling.

Scotch and milk is a lot tastier than it sounds. Scotch and chocolate is another odd put-together that is yummy.
