One late night amongst the thoughts of semi dreams, I had a storming of food ideas. Down went a variety of options in my half-sleep state. I settled upon these three:
-Mint Chocolate chip Ice cream, Tuna nigiri, and Fish Eye-
1) Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream— SUCCESS–>FAILURE
-ingredients: Ice Cream (peeled mashed potatoes), Mint coloring (juice from celery),
