Your second question, ice cream purchased from the market may not be

offered. Because such ice cream contains sometimes undesirable things, which

we should not offer. We must offer to Krishna only first class prepared

foodstuff, especially made at home. We shall try to avoid as far as possible

goods purchased from the market and offer to Krishna.

Nothing should be offered to the Deities which is purchased in the stores.

Things produced by the karmis should not be offered to Radha-Krishna. Ice

cream, if you can prepare, is o.k., but not otherwise.
