Who wouldn’t enjoy a frozen mud slide on a hot summer day? Typical recipes call for crushed ice and cream or ice cream. For some reason, we decided to try making them from ice cream, from scratch.

The MaisonBisson Frozen Mud Slide

This recipe requires an ice cream maker, we used the Deni Scoop Factory.

• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup sugar
• .5 cups Bailey’s
• dash vanilla

Mix ingredients in bowl, then pour into ice cream maker’s freezer container. Follow your ice cream maker’s directions about time to freeze. Our Deni Scoop Factory was done in about 30 minutes. Spoon frozen ingredients into glass, add appropriate amounts of vodka and Kahlua and stir. Top with whipped cream and a cherry. Enjoy.

Road-trip Music:

We compared the Magnetic Fields’ original version of Book of Love from the 69 Love Songs set to the new Peter Gabriel rendition from the Shall We Dance soundtrack.

We spent much time laughing at and singing along with William Shatner’s new album: Has Been, especially the faux-Western title track: Has Been.

As much as Shatner’s new album rocks, his art is really the spoken word. He doesn’t sing so much as talk…with style. To that end, I had to share some Ken Nordine tracks with the donut-eating crowd.

Finally, after getting our fill of Nordine and Shatner, we cruized around listening to Swearing at Motorists and other tracks from 69 Love Songs.
