I'm sure the orangutans ...Good for you, River. I'm sure the orangutans thank you, too. <br /><br />I don't worry about gluten-free...I'm not allergic to gluten. Actually, as far as I'm aware, I'm not allergic to anything, food-wise. <br /><br />I really,only started eating ice cream in the mid Nineties; before then I very, very rarely ate it. The only ice cream other than home-made that doesn't leave me with an after-taste of preservatives is Peters...so I'll stick with Peters - an ice cream that suits taste. <br /><br />I've never seen nor heard of Golden North. Perhaps it's not sold here in Queensland and maybe, because it's produced in South Australia it's pretty much exclusive to South Australia, and to other southern states...I have no idea.<br /><br />http://www.peters.com.au/peters-corporate/sustainability/#<br /><br />PALM OIL<br /><br />We have a deep concern about the serious environmental threat to rainforests and peat fields in South East Asia caused by deforestation, and the carry on effect to wildlife. We do not use palm oil in the production of any of our ice cream mix, however, some of the inclusions (i.e. nuts, syrups or biscuits) that we source from external suppliers do include small amounts of palm oil. In these instances, any palm oil used is CSPO(mixed) as defined by the RSPO, with the majority(99.9%) classified as Mass Balance or Segregated.<br /><br />Where possible, we are removing palm oil altogether.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-54717632500629082532016-01-30T21:25:55.061+10:302016-01-30T21:25:55.061+10:30Lee; I don't like Peters ice cream much althou...Lee; I don't like Peters ice cream much although I do have an occasional drumstick. I prefer Golden North which is gluten free and more importantly palm oil free. I'm helping to save the orang utans by my choice.<br /><br />R.H. thank you very much.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-48376570786862986062016-01-30T21:13:49.912+10:302016-01-30T21:13:49.912+10:30Hey!

When things go down quickly there's really nothing you can do but wait to pick up the pieces.<br /><br />Susan; I often wonder what it is that causes a mind to snap. In this case it was the comedic tragedy that mirrored not only early TV shows, but much of Muriel's life.<br /><br />Elephant's Child; I'd probably laugh and cry too, but don't think I'd need an ambulance.<br /><br />fishducky; I don't know where these darker pieces are coming from, but I welcome them anyway. <br /><br />Delores; thank you. Muriel has a long road of psychiatric treatment ahead.<br /><br />Merle; not at all nasty, there was a comedy element in there.<br /><br />Lee; sit at the table and put your ice cream in a bowl, eat it with a spoon.
