Summary

When life gets tough, true friends ask for help.

Christina Tosi is that kind of friend. She's someone I can trust with anything and someone I can cry with. She also happens to be a world-class pastry chef, a genius dessert maker, and the founder and CEO of Milk Bar.

We reflect on the art of asking for help and how sometimes all we need from a true friend is 8 minutes of their time.

This...is A Bit of Optimism.

For more on the power of an 8-minute phone call, check out this New York Times article.

And, by the way, I wanted to share Christina's recipe for making an Ice Cream Loaf. It's magic.

You will need:

2 cups (1 pint) of softened ice cream

1 cup of self-rising flour

1 egg

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the melty ice cream, self-rising flour, and egg. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into loaf pan.
Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick clean.

Enjoy.
