Cookies 'N' Cream

[lord_steak]

Two flavours of ice cream I love to eat above all others: Cookies 'N' Cream and Moose Tracks. One flavour I vehemently despise scooping: Cookies 'N' Cream. Whomever was scooping at lunch decided to pull out one of the four tubs of Cookies 'N' Cream that was in the back. It was near-empty when I arrived early to eat.

Dining hall food usually isn't too bad. But, we've got Velvet ice cream. So that makes it worth all the while. I was on the edge of swearing when I saw the Cookies 'N' Cream. Last fall, I made the idiotic decision of grabbing a tub in the middle of rush. I don't think my forearm has ever been that sore. The moment the lot of them see that phrase, they line up for it. Long strings of people all ask for the same thing: Cookies 'N' Cream. Thus, after pulling the tub out from a 0 to -5 degree walk-in freezer, and everybody orders it, the stuff doesn't get much time to soften.

So, today was fairly warm. Thus, more and more people want ice cream. They lined up, saw the selection, and most went for the Cookies 'N' Cream. In a two-hour period, the hungry people at Shively ate 4 gallons of that flavour. We went through 2 tubs of it, and said we're not grabbing the third and final right then. We replaced it with strawberry.

At the restaurant where I worked at... they kept a thing of water over a burner up where you keep the scooper. After every scoop, you dip the scooper in the hot water, and it slices through the ice cream.

Maybe if you could set up a system like that, the job would be less painful /wwwthreads/images/icons/wink.gif... though it's usually hard to get a heater of some sort near where ice cream is kept. ~shurgs~

Open flames yields me getting fired. The warm that flows continually over the scoopers is warm, but not hot. In most cases, the amount it helps is significant, but, rock-hard ice cream eats up heat in a real hurry.

Dude, your username, in this topic.... <img src=smilies/laff.gif>

You can get other kinds of heaters/burners. But I guess it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for you to buy one /wwwthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif now that I think of it.

yeah.. good point. They kept their ice cream in a freezer.. but the temp was set for ice cream and other desserts.. so it never really got -frozen- frozen.

I imagine most places do that, but, this is a campus dining hall. Everything frozen is kept in the big walk-in freezer. And damn it's cold in there. Particularly after standing where all the heat from the refridgeration gets dumped.

I imagine. Kinda like how mine was a bit...off, a little while back when the discussion of vegetarianism was up.
