Instructions:  - Mix the ice cream and flour together, then add the poppy seeds, salt, and sugar  - pour it into a greased/buttered bread pan  - Bake at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden/toothpick test thing  - let it cool, then spread some honey on top as a glaze  - makes about 10 slices (my family ate a few before I took the picture)  Correspondences:  Seeds- new beginnings, growth, potential  Poppy- vision, inspiration, prosperity, abundance   Flour- abundance, prosperity, protection Vanilla- love, restoring lost energy  Honey- love  Salt- cleansing, protection
