Quoting Shawn Highfield to Jim Weller <=-
I unplugged my freezer some time ago to save power and am using
raven, cat and fox proof containers for storage on the back deck.
It's not cold enough here to move things to the balcony.
I noticed that when I first typed that and I went to my Environment
Canada app and switched from Yellowknife to Oshawa out of curiosity.
As soon as we get a deep cold for a while we will be moving
everything outside in coolers and boxes so we can defrost the big
freezer.
And you do get deep cold once in a while. May be not as often as I
did in Ottawa but still it's not rare.

Title: Peppermint Tapioca Parfaits for Two
Categories: Desserts, Pudding, Chocolate
Yield: 2 Servings

1 1/2 tb Sugar
1 c Milk
1 ds Salt
1 Egg Yolk
1 Egg White
1/2 ts Vanilla

it comes to a full boil (about 6 to 8 minutes). Remove from heat
and gently fold in beaten egg white just until blended. Stir in
1/2 teaspoon vanilla and a few drops of red food coloring, if
desired. Let cool, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Fold in 3
tablespoons crushed peppermint candy, cover and chill.
Meanwhile. crush enough chocolate cookies to make 1/3 cup.

glasses (at least 1-cup size). Top with several spoonfuls tapioca
mixture; repeat layers, ending with a sprinkle of crumbs. Cover
and chill if made ahead.
