I'm getting ready for summer. I got the ice cream maker out and made two gallons of ice cream yesterday. Gonna make some more soon so we'll have a good supply in the freezer.:triumphant:
 

MMMmmmm..what flavor, rkunsaw? Not that it matters, it's all good...(except maybe peanut butter and bacon, which Sonic now has a shake flavor of.)

What do you mean, "make" ice cream? I though it just came from cold cows ...

Remember making ice cream with some friends the old fashioned way . . . by hand. Took us forever but it was fun taking turns cranking the darn thing. Modern electric ones are more efficient but I think take away some of the fun . . . Nothing lost in the enjoyment of eating the results, though!
 
I don't think I've ever had real homemade ice cream, but I love ice cream! Usually buy the Hagen Dazs brand in the stores. :strawberry:

You've gotta have some homemade ice cream. It's so good. I have an old White Mountain electric
 
Comparing ingredients"

Blue Bunny New York Vanilla....

INGREDIENTS: Milk, Cream, Buttermilk, Corn Syrup, Whey, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar, Mono & Diglycerides, Guar Gum, Artificial and Natural Flavors, Sodium Phosphate, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Citrate, Polysorbate 80, Carrageenan, Annatto (For Color).



My homemade Vanilla...

Heavy Cream, Half & Half, Milk, Sugar, Vanilla Extract
 
Your ice cream sounds yummy Larry! :D I won't eat that Blue Bunny garbage. The Haagen Dazs Five Vanilla flavor just contains the 5 ingredients, skim milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, pure vanilla extract. Not bad if you have to eat store-bought.
 
Wow, it has been a long time since we made ice cream. But come to think, I do remember some small batch gadget we had at one point. Like a giant mug with a liner filled with the same stuff as in those fake ice blocks. The mug had a cap with a handle you turned connected to a paddle under the lid (inside the mug).

It actually worked but made so little it was hardly worth the effort. Who knows, those things may still be in our cupboard somewhere - LURKING!
 
Vanilla! Vanilla! Vanilla! Is it ready, yet? Is it ready, yet? Is it ready, yet? Is it ready, yet? Is it ready, yet? Is it ready, yet? Is it ready, yet? Is it ready, yet? Is it ready, yet?
 
Do any of you find the newer "mash up" flavors a bit over the top? Some sound good but if they have any cookie or other wheat I can't eat them. Other than that I like more basic varieties with three flavors or less.
 
I don't like the idea of a lot of them, haven't really even tried them. Pieces of cookie dough, oreo cookies, butterfinger candy bars...no wonder so many Americans are so overweight! :rolleyes:
 
I remember as a kid going to New Hampshire to visit a war buddy of my father's. He was a character but a great guy, offering to give me a week-long "summer camp" in the White Mountains of NH. I had a wonderful time, running around the mountain trails, being attacked by black flies, etc. but the best was when he took me to the local ice cream shop.

For whatever reason, long before it was the trend (remember this was around 1965 or so) this place had Pickle ice cream, Bubblegum ice cream, even Onion ice cream! I tried a spoonful of the Pickle and nearly gagged, settling instead for plain ol' Vanilla. George (my host) shook his head but smiled as he did so. :D

Now I only get the urge for ice cream once in a blue moon, and when I do I just pick whatever is in the freezer at the convenience store - usually "Moose Tracks" from Hershey's, just vanilla with chunks of chocolate in it.

I do like a Dulce de Leche, vanilla ice cream with caramel swirls, the more the better. The Haagen Dazs Dulce de Leche ice cream bars are to die for, gotta wear you elastic waisted pants for those, LOL! :p
 
Made two gallons of French Vanilla. Next will be a gallon of Heath pieces and a gallon of chocolate chip. That should be enough to survive the grand kids this summer. Of course it could be gone before they get here.
