We're just "cool" like that...

Yesterday at Parker's 5th grade "Holiday Party" we made ice cream (I'll blog that later.) He had so much fun with it that he asked if we could do it at home.
So, being the "fun mom" (haha) that I am, we did it tonight!
(We've stopped feeding Parker, apparently, and he is starving...)

The rock salt and the ice have a chemical reaction and it gets really cold...so Aliza got my gardening gloves out to insulate her hands...
Yum! It is really good!

And it's easy:

Take 1 cup of Half and Half and put it in a Ziploc baggie. Add 2 TBS sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Seal the baggie really good and put it in a gallon Ziploc bag that has ice and rock salt in it. "Play" with the bag for 5-10 minutes, or until the ice cream is the consistency you want it.

You can eat it right from the bag or enjoy it in a bowl. Be careful not to get the salty water in it, though! You could also add chocolate or strawberry syrup to the half and half for a different flavor.

Parker looks like my Harrison. I know we feed these boys! Hey, no worries...I know you've had lots going on. I miss you, too.

Cool! I'm gonna do it. Parker is skinny, but I'll have to take a pic of Challis and post it...just for fun. We'll have a contest on who feeds their kid less, lol.

I want to be on the same diet as Parker. My abs don't show anything like his! Will that require making homemade ice cream?
Cause that is something I can add to my daily diet very easily.

When are we going to Fuddies for some Taris pole dancing?

Parker is SKELETOR skinny.

My name is Andrea,  December 21, 2008 at 5:00 PM  

K, I just need to clarify that Parker IS sucking his stomach in...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! Thank you for the recipe!!

Aliza is a smart girl to grab your gloves! You crack me up with saying that you have stopped feeding Parker. It is kind of ironic because he is making ice cream ;)

See? You ALWAYS have the good snacks!

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R.

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
