I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    If the ice cream is very hard, then the tines of the fork break it apart more easily, than the dull edge of a spoon.

    Some people melt their ice cream in the microwave before eating it, though.

        New concept for me. I’ve just left it out on the counter before for someone that prefers it softened.

        Do you find the softening consistent all throughout? Might give this a go next time a softer serve is needed.

          I’ll usually put a pint in for 10 seconds or so. It softens the ice cream pretty uniformly, just a bit more on the edges than the center.

      My dad used to put ice cream in a mug, and then place it on the metal plate of the biggest burner in the stove to melt it a little. This worked about a hundred times before the mug exploded in a lot of tiny pieces.
