I'm nearly finished with a MASSIVE overhaul in my workspace....well, it's looking more like a crafts store exploded in here, but it's getting better and better. Reorganising, so that things make sense, making room, getting rid of the old, basically creating a fresh new start. I'm excited :)Jelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02133163092172495744noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657170782080602901.post-10619113871306106102011-08-18T12:02:00.000-07:002011-08-18T12:02:58.226-07:00Einstein loved his ice cream!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhirdA70RXQ6ToxZmgMokrUY2dRHc0J3qDoNk0P7zu04hY7xU9zDJ-tjZdfuPkmK0HgEAA9oTaVyqJQRPx4NcODyThHE97aDwK_yfUk150v2NcQX0f_L2-GNhEjIjlTlgmwQ_9mbYSQNEA/s1600/P8180014a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhirdA70RXQ6ToxZmgMokrUY2dRHc0J3qDoNk0P7zu04hY7xU9zDJ-tjZdfuPkmK0HgEAA9oTaVyqJQRPx4NcODyThHE97aDwK_yfUk150v2NcQX0f_L2-GNhEjIjlTlgmwQ_9mbYSQNEA/s320/P8180014a.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I thought about making Einstein. I'm not sure why....then I imagined him with an ice cream cone. Upon hitting google...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #525252; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;">The first thing that Einstein did upon <strong><a href="http://www.capitalcentury.com/1933.html" style="color: #55b1b5; text-decoration: none;">his arrival in Princeton, N.J. in 1933</a></strong> was to purchase an ice cream cone. His choice was a vanilla ice cream cone with chocolate sprinkles. A Princeton student observed Einstein’s first culinary adventure in Princeton and recalled, “The great man looked at the cone, smiled at me ... and pointed his thumb first at the cone and then at himself.”</span></blockquote>From <a href="http://www.whatthegreatate.org/journal/2011/3/14/einstein-enjoyed-his-ice-cream.html">What The Great Ate</a><br />

I like to imagine now that if he had the choice, Albert would love him some mint chocolate chip :-)<br />
