This summer, dozens of breweries are trading their shaker pints and Teku glasses for cones and cups. A small but increasing number of beverage producers are using a breakthrough technology to turn their drinks into frozen soft serve–style “ice cream.” In true scoop shop fashion, stouts and fruited sours topped with sprinkles and chocolate sauce are flying out of taprooms as temps increase. This is all thanks to a creation from WDS Dessert Stations in Huntley, Ill.: a proprietary gel called NEA (which stands for Nitrogen Ingredient Additive, though it was misspelled on the patent) that allows any alcohol to freeze to a near-solid in its Below Zero soft-serve machine. “That’s the stuff that makes the impossible possible,” explains chef...

Basements can serve several purposes for you and your home, depending on the size. A small basement is only useful for housing your heating and water utilities. Basements that have just a little more square footage can provide a practical solution for miscellaneous storage.

Adult friends and family will love hanging out in your basement, drinking cocktails and playing ping pong or watching the big game....
I created a bright and happy classroom display using our new Rainbow Bulletin Board Letters and some simple sun crafts!
