You don’t need to make your own sauce to make this butterscotch soft serve. But it is far better if you do in my opinion.
Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Butterscotch Soft Serve ♥
When the Covid contact tracing app was developed for South Africa, I decided to install it on my phone. My understanding was that it would send a signal via Bluetooth to any other device that had the app installed, as I passed that person. The contact would be momentary and if any person contracted the virus and informed the app, I would be notified. This made total sense when my mom received a notification quite soon after installing the app. She was told the date she had possible contact with the individual. And she knew that on that date she had only been at her local supermarket, with a mask on. So when we both got a notification on Christmas day for contact on the 21st I was not concerned. The only public place I had been was to the airport to fetch my parents.

But the next day my mom read that you had to be within 2m of someone for at least 15 minutes. And the only person with the app that I was that close to was my mother. Did that then mean she had been near someone on the plane who tested positive, and I was being notified for that contact? All very confusing if you ask me. What we really need is for the app to give us the time this took place. When I got another alert for contact on the 30th I was even more convinced you merely had to pass someone. I was out alone at the supermarket on that day. And we all went out for lunch. But given that I was the only person to get the notification it had to have been while I was shopping. Do you use the Covid alert app ?

This ice cream sounds delicious, Tandy. I’ve not used the Covid App. It didn’t seem to work in Australia or the UK so I thought it probably wasn’t worth while.
I am finding it very useful, bar for the fact it doesn’t give the time of the contact. It is not the same as the one being used in the UK as far as I know.
Butterscotch and caramel sound delicious — too bad I don’t have the needed ingredients!

Such a pity!
I have not downloaded such an app, but the idea behind seems pretty useful…
Ours links straight to the Department of Health which is great if you need assistance with anything Covid related.
Oh that’s an interesting app! We just have one where we have to check in when we visit a business and check out (although most of us forget to check out). It’s an interesting idea if it works!
That is such a clever idea, if people use it 🙂
they won’t let you in to the cafe etc unless you check in You have to show them!
That is so good!
Homemade ice cream is such a genius idea!
Thank you Josiah 🙂
You won my heart at no churn. Butterscotch anything is a big yes please! No COVID app for me…too stressful! I almost don’t want to know. Since I only go out for mostly food and other essentials, I know that if I get COVID buying essential food items than there’s nothing I can do. Plus, my kids still go to school so I have to accept the fact they could easily bring it home from school and again, I won’t make my family wear masks in the house or stop hugging each other. That would be impossible!
I agree, children need to feel as normal as possible during this time!
I love the no churn ice cream recipes (and I’d totally make my own butterscotch). I thought I signed up for Covid notification but there’s no app on my phone so now I’m confused too 🙂
I also prefer the no churn recipes for when I don’t have time 🙂
no churn ice cream is the go. check out my blog post on wednesday:-) funny how similar recipes are up in the ether at the same time.
I kept this comment here till today so that I would remember 😉
