MALLARD ICE CREAM TASTING TONIGHT
Quick note: Ben Scholtz, who is the genius behind Mallard Ice Cream, is doing a special Ice Cream Tasting tonight at Ciao Thyme! We get to find out tons about what they do to make such good ice cream - like taste the stuff before it's frozen, and the sugars, and sniff the vanillas (the most expensive flavor they make). I'm really curious!
We get the "inside scoop" on how they develop those amazing flavors, and Ben will also teach us how to make their caramel sauce (which would get me there, even without the ice cream). Class will culminate with students making their own sundae masterpieces.
There are still a dozen spaces left (room for 25 people total). Cost is $15 and class begins at 7:30. Pre-registration is required. The class is right downtown, but not at Mallard's. To sign up, call Ciao Thyme Catering at 733-1267, with credit card in hand.

EDITOR'S CORNER
We're looking for a house-sitter for three weeks in late July & early August. Want a responsible non-smoker who likes cats and gardens and would like a peaceful environment.
