Ice Cream Makin Fun

So, Last night, after a wildly successful dinner
of pesto, pasta shells, and zucchini with 'fruit sorbet'
for dessert...I was still hungry. I had a craving for ice-cream,
and creativity. I knew we had half-n-half in the fridge, and I wondered:
What can I make? ICE-CREAM, of course.

Don't have an ice-cream maker. Didn't have cream. The ice-cream-it was delicious.
Here's what I did:

Ingredients
2 cups half-n-half
1/4 cup brown sugar (or white)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup salt
4 trays ice cubes
ziploc baggies
1 large freezer/hotorcold bag

To make:
Mix half-n-half, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk to combine. I used several small ziploc baggies, cuz that's all i had. Pour mixture into ziploc baggies. Seal tightly. Pour ice and salt into the large freezer bag. Place ziploc baggies into larger bag. Seal large bag tightly. Shake, Shake Shake. Shake some more. Shake shake shake.....BEHOLD....ICE CREAM! Squeeze into bowls and enjoy.

Seriously, if you are a coffee drinker and have basic ingredients on hand--you can make this. I got the idea from the internet because we have no ice cream maker. Lucky for me, we had done this at work, so I knew what to expect. K., he was in awe--and immediately started brainstorming ways to make a BIKE powered ice-cream maker. Even funnier, there is a video on you-tube.

This ice cream made our stay at home saturday into a fun, yummy evening.

Now...stay tuned for the bike powered version!
