Calm down. Making homemade ice cream isn’t as difficult as you may think. It’s amazing how only a few ingredients commonly found at the grocery store can create endless flavor possibilities. While some ice cream cookbooks can border on the academic or the gourmet, Stop Screaming! is the perfect guide for those starting out making this chilled dessert. Covering both the equipment and techniques to make ice cream at home, Stop Screaming! reveals the barrier to entry for this culinary hobby can be as low as a few hundred dollars. With broad recipes that allow for plenty of experimentation, this cookbook is a great foundation to build upon and eventually reach some truly unique flavors (for example: have you ever had dragon fruit sorbet?). Stop Screaming! has a range of simple to advanced techniques for bases and mix-ins. The permutations of flavor combinations in this cookbook number in the hundreds (eat your heart out, Baskin Robbins). Whether you prefer classics like Vanilla or more complex recipes like Maraschino Cherry Amaretto Chocolate Chip, Stop Screaming! shows how easy it is to make fantastic ice cream in the comfort of your own home.

Fluxions are the mysterious powers that can turn an ordinary person into an extraordinary legend. Not only have they been used to try and take over the world, but also to save it. These powers have been lost and found over thousands of years by many different individuals.

Included in this omnibus is an Appendix that gives insight into the references made throughout the trilogy. You’ve never seen science quite like this.

Even though Testament was no longer around, the powers known as fluxions still exist and still hold the potential to thrust the world into chaos and darkness. Gathering his team of warriors, Isaac sets out to destroy the 12 Caidoz statues in this timeframe while Albert and Benjamin travel through space and time to accomplish the same task. With the only clues to the location of the statues being an ancient lyric, once the statues are found, they must be destroyed. Unfortunately, these are no ordinary statues. Created aeons ago out of a material known as fluxionite, these statues are what give fluxions their power. And yet, the creator of these statues still lives and is ready to kill anyone who would take away his power. The Third Degree is a story of family, legacy, and sacrifice.
