Strawberry Ice Taste Test

Well, I did a taste-test, comparing the strawberry-jelly-milk ice and the strawberry-jelly ice.

Strawberry-Jelly Ice:
* needed to be thawed a bit, and had a less creamy feel; not as icy as a sorbet, it had the gelato-jelly texture
* looks darker, a reddish-pink
* had a notably stronger taste, like strawberry cordial or candy, which means one can still taste the flavour even when one's taste-buds are stunned by the cold

Strawberry-Jelly-Milk Ice:
* was scoopable straight from the freezer, had a nice creamy texture
* is lighter in colour, more pink than red, but not a pale pink
* had a milder taste, but still with the overtone of strawberry cordial

The jelly-milk definitely wins on texture, but I'm still undecided about the flavour.

Want some Blake with your dinner?

Just a note that anyone who might be intrigued by this "Blake's 7" thing, I invite you to join us on b7rewatch for our weekly episode discussion. Next up (next Saturday) is the third episode, so it won't be too difficult to catch up if you so desire. In consideration of those who haven't seen the series before, each episode has two posts for it: one general, and one which is spoiler-free.

Remixing

Okay, I've signed up for remixthedrabble as both a remixee and a remixer. This is the first time I've signed up as a remixer; I'm hoping it won't be too hard. Part of my motivation is that it's supposed to be short, another is that I just realized that, while I've been working on various stories this year, I haven't actually finished anything since the drabbles I did for tthdrabbles in March. Rather than feeling guilty about that, I thought it would be nice to do a little ficathon as a sort of inspiration-break. Plus, a remix doesn't require plotting, since the plot is there already. Plus, having to enforce a maximum length is an interesting discipline.

Another thing I did today was put up a number of stories on my page on fanfiction.net; I decided I might as well put all my stories up there anyway, to make them easier to find. I may find I run out of energy before I manage it, but at least I made a start.
