@futurebird @farah @akamran wait what's this about secret milkshakes I want a secret milkshake. Did I just ruin it because I just said it? Do I now never get a secret milkshake because it's no longer secret?

@futurebird @farah @akamran nooooooooo

"Do you have birthday cake ice cream?"
"No! It's winter."
"???"
"We only have that one in the summer, you know, birthday season."Birthday Season?
Has anyone ever heard of this?
@futurebird I mean, it's *my* birthday season but that's no reason for them to deprive the city of birthday cake ice cream in winter…

@futurebird
I agree it sounds like some shop-specific busy season they haven't considered other people wouldn't know about.I'm mostly just impressed that this is the second reference to birthday cake ice cream I've seen today and so far no one is incensed that birthday cake 'isn't a flavor'
Did everyone just collectively chill out about it finally?

@ai6yr @futurebird @akamran Hey they could be Russian! We don’t know!!
@farah @futurebird @akamran Could be Scottish gangs?

@futurebird @secretsloth @farah @akamran maybe they simply do not want to bring all the boys to the yard

@ai6yr @futurebird @akamran I find this supremely interesting, because I literally lived there at that time period. But don’t remember anything because I was too tiny. Gonna have to ask my parents

@futurebird can you have strawberries in February? Of course! Are they in season? No, and you can taste it.
So... you are saying because birthday cakes are out of season now the ice cream would not be good? :(
-
With this shop... that would make sense.
They have a bunch of strange rules:
* cash only!
* you can only taste flavors AFTER paying for a cone
* they have milkshakes but won't put them on the menu and act like they are secret?And their hours are just... IDK. I went in since I just go in there when I see they are open.
Sometimes they just have two flavors, sometimes ten.

Mob front. Or CIA front. Or Russian spies. Maybe "birthday cake ice cream" was a password? -

@nev which is very reasonable, tbh! @futurebird @secretsloth @farah @akamran

bleh!
but on the topic, small business icecream does sound tasty

@futurebird @akamran As someone else said “mob front”
Mob front would care to make really good ice cream ?
(serious question, I don't know how that works, I never fronted a mob and AFAIK none of my relatives did)(I mean, I did once buy from a bakery that I suspect to be a money laundering front because their pastries were so bland that I don't see how they could survive otherwise, since there were other bakeries in the neighborhood; but that's the point, they clearly didn't care about making anything actually good)

@futurebird I have a winter birthday (like real winter, not November) and can confirm, nobody wants to celebrate at that time of year. Especially not with ice cream, but also not with anything that involves leaving thrif homes.

@futurebird It has to be mob.
"Crap."
"What now, Louie?"
"Another damn customer. Every single time, I lose my place launderin' the money."
"Tell 'em we ain't got none of whatever they want."
"What if we got it?"
"Make somethin' up! Jeez!"...
"You know, birthday cake season."

@lienrag @futurebird @akamran Maybe there’s this one guy who likes making ice cream and the mob boss loves that ice cream; so no one gets to talk shit.
Clearly I’ve watched way too much tv

"Yeah I've always been so grateful that my birthday is in the off-season. So much less crowded, never have to wait in birthday lines..."

@bryan it was ok. Lentils were a bit overcooked and not exactly the right texture for the task, but as a platform for leftover curry it was fine. I won't be making it a habit but it wasn't bad. Lentils can remain an ingredient for dal and not a replacement for rice.
