Back Down Memory Lane: Homemade Ice Cream

CrimsonTide4 · #1 12-15-2004, 11:39 AM

Who has had homemade ice cream before?
Who had the actual maker? What color was yours?

Here we reminisce on the magical wonders of rock salt.

I had some this summer for my birthday.

We had one growing up with a blue base thingy. My daddy used to make it for us.

ETA: Who makes/made the best homemade ice cream?

Gee, CT4, where do you come up with such interesting topics?

My cousin's grand-ma made the best homemade ice cream ever. Using rock salt, and a blue bucket with a large crank on the top, Sis. Tennyson (RIP) made magic!!

As I told some "cool" friends recently, I was in Walmart and saw the bucket with the crank, and for a minute thought I was going to do it myself. But then I was like, "playa, you can't even funk with the way Sis. T put it down." So sanity returned and I just live with the tasty memories...

...but if somebody is making some, call me!

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!"

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.)

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

MD,
C'mon now, I saw you sitting all alone at the "homemade ice cream parade," and just wanted to reach out to you. I wouldn't bring you something foul.

Put my instructions together, and you will forget allllll about some homemade ice cream. Trust.

12dn94dst,
You are going to make me go add to the "What Black Folk ought to do" thread on our page. Specificially "quit, liquoring up innocent summer drinks."

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.

Say what? Never had what? oh lawd! LOL

yeah, we had several ice cream machines. All of my relatives did. That's all they made "back in the day". Store bought what? You betta get outta dodge with that!

We were "big time" when we got an electic maker. My grandmother said the ice cream wasn't as good as the "crank" machine.

One of my aunts had a recipe where you did NOT have to cook your custard.

I haven't had hommade ice cream in yearssssssssss. Blue Bell AND Borden's Brown Velvet home made vanilla ALMOST have home made beat.

One of our machines was organe with the white motor thing on top. Another one was a brown color with the black crank. Another one had like a wooden exterior with a black crank. LOL @ crank!
