Guess who likes ice cream...

In this photo, Ana is eating it right out of our ice cream maker.

Ash Wednesday Poem

Is this a Fast, to keep 

The larder lean?

And clean

From fat of veals and sheep?

Is it to quit the dish

Of flesh, yet still

To fill

The platter high with fish?

Is it to fast an hour, Or ragg'd to go,

Or show A down-cast look and sour?

No: 'tis a Fast to dole 

Thy sheaf of wheat

And meat

Unto the hungry soul,

It is to fast from strife 

And old debate,

And hate;

To circumcise thy life.

To show a heart grief-rent;

To starve thy sin,

Not bin;

And that's to keep thy Lent. 

~Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
