Piña Colada Ice Cream

The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Ice Cream didn’t turn out quite how I wanted, but it was still good and it was still eaten. The ice cream part I think came out really good, but if I made it again, I wouldn’t mix in the cake.

This is the recipe I used for the ice cream which was pretty much a combination of several recipes.

On Tuesday, we went into the city with my cousin and his two girls. We went to Toys R Us, FAO Schwarz, M&M store, The American Girl store, the Wax Museum… We had lunch at Jekyll and Hyde where I had one of the worst meals of my life. You’d think a turkey wrap with guacamole and salsa would be safe. I think the only seasoning they have there is salt and they use a lot of it. Get the salad. The salad that came with my meal was good, though drenched in dressing.
