Listen...I got all the ingredients for a classic tiramisu: Lady fingers, Espresso, Eggs, mascarpone. I was going to use the heating pasteurization, but it's 90 degrees and I don't want to stand near a fire (and like 20 other reasons). I had been stalling for a week and I really want some tiramisu. So, I came up with the brilliant idea that I got vanilla ice cream!!! It has egg yolks, vanilla, cream all mixed in already!!!

I took 1/2 cup ice cream and let it sit while I made my double shot espresso. Let the coffee cool while mixing the ice cream with 5-6oz of mascarpone and sugar until smooth. While assembly, I was a skeptical, as the cream was a bit runny. But somehow at the last layer, the cream seems to firmed up. Now it's in the fridge and I am scared.

Now I am checking the internet for similar recipes and all I found is ice cream cake. I hope it turns out okay. If not, into the freezer for ice cream tiramisu lol.

EDIT: IT CAME OUT GREAT!!! Tastes so good, took less than 15 minutes to make. Super creamy. It is a tiny bit lighter in taste compare to egg yolk versions, but solid 9/10!

I'd always been told to not have cold things or any "cold-inducing" (according to my culture) before or during period. I've never listened during the summer and I was fine in my younger years with no cramps whatsoever. It was a thing to have ice cream during period according to rom coms too.

Then I'm older and my god if I dare have an ice cream before my period. The 2nd day of my period I get the worst cramps. It's not stabbing painful, but a dull, pulsating cramp, constantly. It's like I did a million curl ups using only my uterus.

Thankfully, it only last that day and the rest of the cycle I am perfectly fine. But the ache was unbearable and makes me cry. I finally understood people who constantly have chronic pain. Anyone else?

I didn't want kids because I am terrified of the pain. Also that I grew up really really poor and I don't want any children going through the anxiety I did. Then as I get slightly older, met my partner, and the idea of having a kid crept up. I like the idea of having a family where a little one is involved. I want to feel the joy of raising a young one with my loved one. I want to be the awesome mom and the best grandma.

Then the fear of pain came back up. And that if I have kids, my financial circumstances will change for the worst. I also have the irrational fear of miscarriages.

As of now, we are working hard to gain financial independence and hopefully good financial will make the decision easier.
