> Hi hi! And welcome! Would you like some ice cream? It’s [del]frisky[/del] fresh! I’ve been making all sorts of things during the lockdown; last week I made nanaimo bars. So we’ve got ice cream in interesting random lockdown flavours, like wasabi mint and peach squid ripple. And downloading it is free as long as the CERB payment holds out or I go back to work\*!

Wait, wait, wait, wait - nanaimo bars? I want! Would you share the recipe? Pleeeeeaaase?

Those Nanaimo bars look chronic! I will beg Mrs. Tree to make 'em.  
I’ve been making ice cream from frozen bananas and Nutella in my Ninja. So good.

Thank you! I think I’ve got most of what I need to make these. 🙂

Welcome, welcome! If you could wait over here in the lounge while we get the welcome tables set up? We don’t usually have this much of a crowd. In the meantime, would you like some ice cream? Nanaimo bars?
