Making Ice Cream

Tyler is my friend Suzies three year old grandson. Today she asked him if he would like to go to the ice cream shop and get some ice cream. Tyler is visiting his grandma from CT and will be here a month.

When they got there he asked her how they got so much ice cream in the summer because its not cold enough outside for the cows to make it. She didnt understand what he meant and he said well grandma the cows give you milk but when its real cold outside they give you ice cream.

When she got home she called her daughter and she told her that was another one of those dumb things her husband had told the child and he believes every word that comes out of his dads mouth.

Boy would we be in trouble here if we had to wait for the cows to get cold.

We had a crank ice cream maker. Every weekend in the summer and probably longer we would all make ice cream or sherbet. My favorite was lemon sherbet. I can remember squeezing fresh lemons for the juice and helping my father with the ice and turning the crank. It was so good and cooling to have lemon sherbet in the summer.

That is something I have always wanted to do and have never done. I make my own jellies and jams and love to be in the kitchen but have never made ice cream. Dont know why. I have always wanted to try home made ice cream.
Maybe I will talk hubby into going and buying an ice cream machine this week end and try learning to make ice cream.

Im mostly a grape popsycle person myself. But love sherbets just not real big on ice cream.

Might be something to keep him interested and busy this long week end with him home and they say the weather is going to suck.
