In class today, a student demonstrated how to make ice cream by shaking up 1/2 cup of Half-and-Half, 1/2 cup of whole milk, 2 Tbsp of sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract in a small freezer bag within a larger Ziploc bag filled with ice cubes and 6 Tbsp of rock salt, for about 8 minutes. Me: How much Half-and-Half and how much whole milk? Student: A half a cup of Half-and-Half and a half a cup of whole milk. Me: (with a straight face) So half Half-n-Half; half whole? Student: ??? Me: You have half Half-n-Half; half whole? Student: 😩 Class: 😣 (Don't feel bad for my students. I'm the one who ended up shaking the bag!)

FYI: "In Korea, everyone is 1 from the time they are born. And everyone gets a year older on New Year's day. So your Korean age is always either one or two years older than your Western age."
