Half-n-Half
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!)
