Alison Lee is a computer science major at Princeton, but one afternoon this month, she learned about something just as cool. Downright cold, even: How to make ice cream.
Donning a Princeton sweatshirt, the Basking Ridge, New Jersey, junior vigorously shook a plastic bag of ice that contained another plastic bag with a mixture of heavy cream, whole milk, sugar and vanilla extract — a method meant to lead to vanilla ice cream. Fellow student and English major Bethany Villaruz had just finished a batch of berry and Dulce de Leche and was heading to her room to put it in the freezer.
"I'm not really sure how it's going to turn out," confessed the junior from Fort Wayne, Ind. "But I think no matter what, my best friend who is a college-age boy will eat it anyway."
