On frozen custard.
I'm thinking of creating a frozen custard stand in a foreign country.
Talk about random thoughts, right?
I may not ever do it, but I wanted to explore the thought.
I also thought I might share the thought with you.
Here's my thinking:
Not many people outside my state know about frozen custard. When I lived in Miami, I had to drive almost more than an hour away to get some!
"What is Frozen Custard for?" I think it's for community connection, and communities are for support. The frozen custard stand is a living legend - generations upon generations still enjoy their custard.
Something this unique with beautiful associated nostalgia is a compelling product.
Perhaps this frozen custard stand would be built in a country that places a strong emphasis on community culture, similar to the small community where I grew up?
Maybe we'd find we have more in common than not?
Maybe that would inspire generations upon generations of people to create new traditions?
On the contrary, maybe it would spur a culture of overfed and obese citizens? Anti-United States imperialist rhetoric?
Truthfully, I might not ever make a frozen custard stand.
But, I can create a culture where people share intentions and ideas that might be random, off-the-wall, thought-provoking, or downright crazy.
Hopefully, sharing these ideas will beget the creation of more ideas.
When we share and listen to more ideas, we step into a posture of possibility and creating culture.
Also, Learn what Ulysses and frozen custard have in common.
By the way, if you're from the Milwaukee area, I don't care what you say, and I'll debate you to the cows come home, Gilles is the best. Hands down and without question.
Also, I am aware that the photo might look more like “ice cream,” which I know is different than custard! I humbly request you to suspend your judgment and embrace the spirit of the photo.
