How is Darren doing. Can't believe that when he first started working for us he had never been anywhere but the south shore of Oahu!

I don't know where these negative commenters are finding my post from but I urge you to explore my blog. I am avocate of eating healthy, organic, and local! This post is the only dessert on my blog and it was a once in a while thing I do with my son making homemade ice cream with fresh ingredients. Don't think Jamie Oliver would have a problem with that. My children are active with no health problems. My blog is full of healthy whole foods.
