Who knows who said what. It's hard to say what W.C. Fields,
Barnum, or Mark Twain actually said.

 -> My preference would be for no hoarding, but wouldn't stuffed
 -> animals be preferable to live in a couple senses, such as you
 -> don't have to feed, water, and clean up after them?

The Japanese have artificial critters that talk back, require
scratching, that kind of thing. And woe is me, I have friends
who keep menageries on such sites as Farmville.

Now I have testimony from people who claim that the things
are subject to the ravages of time - I wonder when that day
will come when the supply has shrunk to meet the demand?

     Title: Parmesan Ice Cream Sandwich
Categories: Desserts, Cheese, Spanish
     Yield: 4 servings     MM#: 307

      5 c  Heavy cream
    1/2 lb Finely grated Parmesan
           Cheese
           For the marmalade:
      5    Lemons
      1 c  Sugar
           For the cookie:
      5 lg Egg whites
    1/2 lb Finely grated Parmesan
           Cheese
           Nonstick cooking spray

  Bring cream to a simmer and gradually add Parmesan, stirring until
  mixture is smooth, about 10 min. Strain through a fine strainer,
  and press on any solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  Cool to room temperature. Pour mixture into a 9 x 12" baking dish,
  cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until solid, about 6 hr.

  Remove all peel and white pith from lemons. Dice lemons into 1/2"
  thick, about 1 hr, stirring. Let cool to room temperature.

  Oven at 350F. Combine egg whites and grated cheese. Spray two
  10 x 15" nonstick baking sheets with cooking spray. Spread half
  of mixture in center of each sheet. Top with a sheet of wax paper,
  and use a rolling pin to press mixture evenly across each pan.
  Remove and discard wax paper. Bake mixture until lightly browned,
  about 7 min. Remove pans from oven, and trim dark edges. Cut
  remaining mixture in in each pan into 12 3" squares to make a
  total of 24. Using a spatula, turn the squares over, and return pan
  to oven. Bake an additional 5 min, and remove pan from heat.

  To assemble: Remove ice cream from freezer, and place on top of a
  warm damp cloth for 5 min. Using a knife dipped in hot water, cut
  ice cream into 12 3" squares. Place each square on a Parmesan cookie,
  add a spoonful of marmalade, and top with another Parmesan cookie.
  Serve immediately, or place in freezer until serving.
