Hey Pandas,

Ugh, I for one am never in my life going to try Max’ homemade ice cream again!

Too bad for you. I thought it tasted great! It was – different. I mean, everyone likes strawberry and chocolate, but my ice-cream creation was a different story. Yesterday I invited lots of my friends to my tree house and served ice cream. That ice-cream parlor is no match for Max!

We had lots of buddies there – Kamaria, Prof. Bookworm, Lili, Penny and Lenny. I was excited to see what Max was going to cook up for us. He brought in a huge bowl with what looked to be caramel and chocolate sauce! I was so excited…but wait…upon closer inspection…are those chunks of meat?

Pistachio ice cream with mustard and chili!

We all looked at one another with worried glances. Kamaria was the first to dive in. She said it was tasty, although her face contorted a bit as she swallowed down her first and only bite. Professor Bookworm refused to try it, claiming he was on a strict diet. As for me, I swirled around my spoon in the huge lumpy mess and tried to make it look like I had taken a few bites. We all watched as it slowly melted into a giant puddle of brown, green and gold.

I invite all of you over for a lovely dessert and this is the way you treat me? You can just go to the ice-cream parlor from now on!

Not a bad idea. Speaking of ice-cream parlor, have you Pandas checked out the new game there yet? We’re off to play it right now. See you there!

Be good Pandas,

Ella and Max
