Thank god for primate ancestry

To make mint chocolate chip ice cream, you need a double boiler to melt the chocolate.

I do not have a double boiler.

Thank god I'm descended from proto-monkeys, though, because it makes monkey-wrenching simple. ( After all, we're basically Von Neumann machines optimized to work in 1G )

The chocolate melt needs to be poured in little by little for it to break properly into chips -- I'll know how to do that next time.

Also, you would not believe how strong the mint smell is. It's going to be YUMMY once it sets.
