Minty Moo

You may or may not know I work for the University of Delaware. My title is Web Developer for the College of Agriculture & Natural Resources.

Work in Townsend Hall on campus means being VERY near the farm. When I walk in from my car in the morning I hear the wind tunnels in the greenhouse and I smell the sometimes freshly churned manure. The botanic gardens are right outside the door and on the other side of the building their are in the process of building a marsh land area.

The newest addition to the farm has been the UD Creamery. Ice cream is made with milk from the cows on the UD Dairy Farm and is processed with the help of Kilby Cream. This is a huge thing! This means ice cream on the premise all the time and there is talk of building an ice cream stand/shop in the future. Aw man am I in trouble.

This afternoon there was a special luncheon for Alumni and left over food was brought to the break room. I sniffed my way there but when I got there I saw lunch meet and salads which I opted not to dig into. Why? Because I'm a paranoid pregnant woman and that stuff had been sitting out. So what did I grab? A slice of bread.

Walking back to my office with my slice of bread the Associate Dean saw me nibbling. He laughed. He asked if I had any of the new (first batch) of UD ice cream.

I said I had not and he said, "Follow me." To which I responded pregnant women will follow persons promising ice cream without much arm twisting.

Moments later I'm back in my office after having two scoops of Minty Moo ice cream scooped for me. I must say, it is quite Moolicious!
