Ice Cream

Ice cream? Who doesn’t know  ice cream, almost of people in the world like ice cream. For me Ice cream is the best dessert in the world and thi is all about ice cream.

Ice cream is a frozen food usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavours. Most varieties contain sugar, although some are made with other sweeteners. In some cases, artificial flavourings and colourings are used in addition to, or instead of, the natural ingredients. The mixture of chosen ingredients is stirred slowly while cooling, in order to incorporate air and to prevent large ice crystals from forming. The result is a smoothly textured semi-solid foam that is malleable and can be scooped.

Are you curious about history of ice cream? Whatever your answer i will still tell you about that. And here we go. The origins of ice cream can be traced back to at least the 4th century B.C. Early references include the Roman emperor Nero (A.D. 37-68) who ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings, and King Tang (A.D. 618-97) of Shang, China who had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions. Ice cream was likely brought from China back to Europe. Over time, recipes for ices, sherbets, and milk ices evolved and served in the fashionable Italian and French royal courts.

After the dessert was imported to the United States, it was served by several famous Americans. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson served it to their guests. In 1700, Governor Bladen of Maryland was recorded as having served it to his guests. In 1774, a London caterer named Philip Lenzi announced in a New York newspaper that he would be offering for sale various confections, including ice cream. Dolly Madison served it in 1812.

There are Fun fact about ice cream may you not know:

·         The first ice cream come was made by Italo Marchiony in New York City.

·         The use of the cone was popularized at the 1904 St. Louis Fair.

·         It takes an average of 50 licks to finish one scoop of ice cream.

·         "Brain freeze" is triggered when ice cream touches the roof of your mouth, causing blood vessels in the head to dilate.

·         The Golden Opulence Sundae is a sundae that is served by special order at the New York City restaurant Serendipity 3. In 2007 it was listed in Guinness World Records as the most expensive sundae in the world at a price of US$1,000. The restaurant has stated that they sell approximately one per month. It was created to celebrate the eatery's 50th -"golden" - anniversary in 2005. Owner Stephen Bruce states that a notice 48 hours in advance is needed when requesting the Sundae, since ingredients must be flown in from different parts of the world. 
And this is how to make your own ice cream in your home without an ice cream maker:

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon sugar

4 cups crushed ice

4 tablespoons salt

2 quart size Zip-loc bags

1 gallon size Zip-loc freezer bag

a hand towel or gloves to keep fingers from freezing as well!

Mix the milk, vanilla and sugar together in one of the quart size bags. Seal tightly, allowing as little air to remain in the bag as possible. Too much air left inside may force the bag open during shaking. Place this bag inside the other quart size bag, again leaving as little air inside as possible and sealing well. By double-bagging, the risk of salt and ice leaking into the ice cream is minimized. Put the two bags inside the gallon size bag and fill the bag with ice, then sprinkle salt on top. Again let all the air escape and seal the bag. Wrap the bag in the towel or put your gloves on, and shake and massage the bag, making sure the ice surrounds the cream mixture. Five to eight minutes is adequate time for the mixture to freeze into ice cream.

Now let’s  talk about my most wanted ice cream in the world.

1. Gelato Kinder Bueno, this ice cream make my mouth want to taste it.

2.  The 32cm ice cream cone in South Korea, this ice cream is so cool because the normal length of the ice cream cone maybe is like 15 cm.

Natural Phenomenon : Moonbow

Hello, in this time I want to tell you about natural phenomena moonbow. Moonbow is a natural phenomenon that is quite unique because usually rainbow appeared during the daytime while moonbow appears at night, which can be seen from the name "moon" moon usually appears at night. So this is the detail of moonbow.

A moonbow (also known as a lunar rainbow, black rainbow, white rainbow, lunar bow, or space rainbow) is a rainbow produced by light reflected off the surface of the moon (as opposed to direct sunlight) refracting off of moisture laden clouds in the atmosphere. Moonbows are relatively faint, due to the smaller amount of light reflected from the surface of the moon. They are always in the opposite part of the sky from the moon.

Because the light is usually too faint to excite the cone color receptors in human eyes, it is difficult for the human eye to discern colors in a moonbow. As a result, they often appear to be white. However, the colors in a moonbow do appear in long exposure photographs.

By definition, true moonbows are associated with atmospheric rain events and arise at a time when conditions are optimal in terms of levels of reflected solar light being reflected from the Moon's surface. All true moonbows are therefore short-lived and transitory in nature. True moonbows are independent of all terrestrially fixed geographical features such as waterfalls etc for their existence.

Moonbows have been mentioned at least since Aristotle's Meteorology (circa 350 BC), and also in an 1847 publication.

Moonbows are most easily viewed when the moon is at or nearest to its brightest phase full moon. For true moonbows to have the greatest prospect of appearing, the moon must be low in the sky (less than 42 degrees and preferably lower) and the night sky must be very dark. Since the sky is not completely dark on a rising/setting full moon, this means they can only be observed 2 to 3 hours before sunrise, (a time with few observers), or 2 to 3 hours after sunset. And, of course, there must be rain falling opposite the moon. This combination of requirements makes moonbows much rarer than rainbows produced by the sun. Moonbows may also be visible when rain falls during full moonrise at extreme latitudes during the winter months, when the prevalence of the hours of darkness give more opportunity for the phenomenon to be observed. One good location for viewing 'true moonbows' is Waimea 'Kamuela', Hawaii Island, Hawaii. Cause this is just a rainbow of course is not dangerous.

My Holiday

Hello, I would to tell you about my holiday.             

My holiday is so boring, i don’t go out Bandung because this holiday my family from Tasikmalaya is coming to Bandung and my elder brother was exams in his college. In the beginning of holiday, on 25th December 2014 i went to Budisari swimming pool with my best friend their name is Pelangi and Vina, i have a story before we went to that place, first, on 24 December 2014 we are planning to go swimming in Sabuga. The next day me and Pelangi  went to Vina’s house to pick up her because her house is near Sabuga. And then we went to Sabuga.  After we arrive in Sabuga, apparently the Sabuga is closed.  And we just realized that day  is Christmas so we try to went to Universitas  Pendidikan Indonesia ( UPI ) swimming pool maybe that swimming pool is open, but we wrong, the swimming pool is closed.
