Follow your ice cream maker's instruction manual for preparing the machine. You'll probably need to freeze the ice cream freezer bowl for at least 24 hours before you use it. You can leave the bowl in the freezer right until you're ready to churn the ice cream. Measure out 2 tablespoons of the whole milk and pour it into a small prep bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a fork to whisk the mixture together until it's smooth. Set this thickening mixture aside while you prepare the rest of the ice cream base. Set a saucepan on the stove and pour in the rest of the 2 1/2 cups (590 ml) of whole milk, 1 cup (236 ml) of heavy cream, 3/4 cup (150 g) of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir the mixture to combine the ingredients. It's important to use whole milk (not skim or low fat milk) in this recipe, since the fat in the milk will help your ice cream set up properly. Get out a bowl that's larger than the saucepan. Fill half of the bowl with ice and pour cold water over it, so the bowl is half-full of ice water. The ice bath will quickly chill the ice cream base once it's cooked. Turn the saucepan with the ice cream base mixture on to medium heat. Whisk the mixture every once in a while until it simmers. Once it simmers, set a timer and whisk the mixture for 6 minutes. Whisking will prevent the ice cream base from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Turn the heat to low and continue to whisk the ice cream base. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture that you mixed up. It's important to whisk while you do this, so the ice cream won't develop lumps of thickener. Turn the heat up to medium and whisk the base for two more minutes. You should notice the base start to thicken as the cornstarch mixture cooks. Turn off the heat and set the saucepan directly into the bowl with the ice water. Continue to whisk the ice cream base as you do this, so it cools evenly. Put the thermometer into the ice cream base to check the temperature. The ice cream base should be 45 degrees F (10 C) before you freeze it. Pour the cold ice cream base into the frozen ice cream freezer bowl that fits your ice cream maker. Turn the machine on and churn the ice cream. Depending on your machine, this may take 35 to 45 minutes. You'll see the ice cream thicken and pull away from the sides of the bowl once it's finished freezing. Pull apart one large ball of cotton candy into pieces or long strands and add it to the churning ice cream. Do this during the last minute or two of churning to evenly distribute the cotton candy. If you'd rather stir the cotton candy in by hand, you can wait incorporate it until you're ready to serve it. If you like soft ice cream, you can scoop the ice cream out into bowls or cones and serve it immediately. If you'd like a firmer ice cream, transfer the ice cream to freezer-safe containers and freeze it for several hours. Consider serving the ice cream with additional cotton candy.

Summary: Freeze the ice cream bowl. Whisk some of the milk with the cornstarch and vanilla. Stir together the milk, cream, sugar, and salt. Set up an ice bath. Heat the ice cream base. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Cook the ice cream base. Chill the ice cream base in the ice bath. Churn the ice cream in a mixer. Add the cotton candy. Serve the cotton candy ice cream.

A fun way to name a husky is to choose a name from history. Naming your husky after a famous husky can give him a connection to his breed and heritage. Famous husky mixes like Togo and Balto helped bring medication to the children of Nome, Alaska during the diphtheria outbreak. Both these names end in a vowel sound so your dog might more easily recognize them. Charlie, a husky, was known as the strongest dog ever after he pulled a 3,142 pound sleigh. However, keep in mind Charlie is also a human name so it may be confusing for your dog. Huskies in film and television have gone by names like Exile, Yodel, and Ted. The popular '90s toy beanie babies put out a husky beanie baby that was named Nanook. You may want to spend a few days getting to know you're dog before naming him. Pay attention to his personality and try to pick a name that suits him. Learn the meaning and origins of names and words. You can find etymology dictionaries online as well as sites that list name meanings. Consider your dog's personality. Is he a happy-to-lucky type? Find a name that means happy or joyful. Is he a goofball? Find a name that means laughter. Also, consider your dog's history. This can help you find a name that connects to him. Was he rescued from a bad situation? If so, think about finding a name that means "lucky" or "fortunate." The name Felix, for example, means "fortunate" so this might be a good choice for your dog. Many people enjoy finding names for their dogs based on their coat colors. Huskies are often black or gray, so a name that points to these colors can help. Something like Smokey, Foggy, or Ember could be great for a gray dog. Names like Ash, Ebony, or Velvet could be fun for a black dog. Remember, choosing a popular name can be confusing. Consider finding a more unique name for your husky. If a name you like feels too common, try altering it to make it more unique. When it comes to color names, go beyond basics like Blackie or Gray. Consider looking up the names for different colors in another language. You could also pick weather conditions that point to a certain color. Dusk, for example, could be a fun and unique name for a black husky. If you want your dog to have a name connected to a famous husky, consider altering the name to make it more unique for your dog. If you're a fan of Balto, for example, keep in mind Kevin Bacon voiced Balto in the disney film. Bacon could be a fun, cute, and slightly quirky name for your dog. Colors of your dog's eyes and nose can also help you think of a name. Is his nose so pink it's almost red? Call your dog Crimson. Have you had another husky or dog that has died a while ago? Maybe if that dog was called Stripes you could call your dog Stripes Jr and call him Junior for short.
