For those of you who don’t know who David Weathers is, he is a professional venomous snake handler and animal trainer. He has appeared in many different TV shows on Discovery Channel, Discovery Health and Animal Planet. He was featured in MTV’s WildBoyz series, NBC Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and various other shows on cable television along with making a guest appearance in the movie Jackass Number 2 and Jackass 3D.

I was lucky enough to stop by his little ranch in southwest Florida while he was filming some new material for his website. The first part of the video below, David talks about his animals. In the second half of the video, David performs some of his snake handling skills with three different cobras.

Yes that was not a typo; just a few feet in front of the camera at one point there were three very large and very unhappy snake’s in front of me and the other photographers shooting content for his website.

I learned that the snakes like warm weather but they did not like the very hot weather that was happening that day in Florida. David had a few of what I would call “Close Calls” with the snake’s but he made it seem just like a day at the office.

You needn’t visit the store to enjoy wonderful, creamy chocolate ice cream — anyone can make ice cream at home following these steps.

Step 1: Boil milk
Add the milk, cream, and vanilla extract to a pot and bring it just to a boil. Cover the pot and remove it from heat.

Step 2: Chop chocolate
Chop the chocolate into fine pieces and set it aside.

Step 3: Dissolve sugar
Stir together 1/2 cup sugar with water in a pot until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils and turns to a deep caramel-colored syrup.

Tip
Wash off any sugar crystals on the side of the pot by swirling the liquid around in the pot.

Step 4: Whisk in cream
Whisk the warm cream mixture into the syrup over low heat until the liquid is smooth and any sugar crystals have dissolved.

Step 5: Beat yolks
Beat the egg yolks with the salt and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed. Continue beating the egg mixture until it increases three-fold in volume and thickens, about six to eight minutes with a hand mixer.

Tip
Start the mixer on low speed and work up to avoid splattering the counter top and your shirt with eggs.

Step 6: Mix eggs and syrup
Add the hot syrup mixture to the yolks in a slow stream, whisking, then transfer the custard to a saucepan.

Step 7: Cook the cream
Cook the creamy mixture over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard is slightly thickened.

Tip
Do not let the cream mixture boil, it may ruin the ice cream.

Step 8: Add chocolate
Force the warm custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl with the chopped chocolate and let it stand one minute. Then, whisk the mixture until it is smooth.

Step 9: Let cool
Cool the custard to room temperature, stirring occasionally, for about 35 minutes.

Step 10: Freeze custard
Freeze the custard in an ice cream maker, and put it in the freezer in a covered container to harden for at least 1 hour. Then, scoop, serve, and enjoy!

Did You Know?
Ice cream soda was first served in both Chicago and Philadelphia in 1874.
