ooh! I had homeade ice cream last October at an alumnae ice-cream social, simply delicious. It was made from an electric machine though. In our house growing up we had an electric one as well. BUT at girl scout camp and church in the summers, we used to make it with the crank and rock salt. I think all the hard work makes it taste "better." :)

Goshdangit yall, I came from a poor family but I have NEVER had any homemade ice cream--now yall got me yearnin' for some. And I can imagine how good it is.

*looks at watch* About 3 hours left in the workday. I'ma havta call Mom and see if she can make me some homemade ice cream.

Darn you, CT4!! ;)

still has never tasted the cold delight that is homemade ice cream. :(

Here's what you do: Tell your family to celebrate the new arrival of baby MSJ (I almost typed MSG, LOL) there should be something new in your lives and then coax them to make the ice cream.:)

what's funny is we celebrate with BBQ!!!! If I asked for homemade ice cream, they'd all look at me and say "You better go get some Blue Bell or Braum's and shut up!" :(

Where are you? The madness must cease. Intervention needed pronto.

*dials favorite Aunt on speed dial* We have an emergency. One of my Sorors has never had homemade ice cream. Yes. I know. Not a real childhood without it :p

:( You poor thing.

I still make ice cream in an old wooden cream freezer! Sometimes I throw some strawberries or fresh peaches in the partially frozen custard and OMG, it is the best stuff that you will ever taste!

MeezDiscreet,

If you can't get you some homemade ice cream, try this:

3 scoops of orange sherbert
2 scoops of rainbow sherbert (or pineapple sherbert)

a half a thing of orange juice
a quarter thing of Tahitian treat (soda pop- I think it's national)

Ice cubes or crushed ice.

Put it in the blender for 3-5 minutes ....now that will get you right!!

(and don't yall act like you don't know what "half a thing" or a "quarter thing" is either.) :)

I know you got some relative in the COUNTRY. If not, you can borrow mine. :) Make plans to be in the backwoods of Georgia with me the weekend before the 1st Monday in August.

half the big thing or the regular thing? :p

leave me alone. :p

but I bet you pull your blender out tonight, right?:D

negative. it's what i do. :p

LMAO@ everyone! I feel so left out but you all are making me laugh!

And Tony, WTH type of concoction is this and how did you come up with it??

i take it this is the non-alcoholic version? :D:p:D
