icecream

ok we got a new icecream maker
Hamilton Beach 68330R 4-Qu... $31.99
we got it from amazon with the free shipping

today we made the vanilla recipe in their book
it's similar to mine
it's a cooked recipe with eggies..... 6 eggies
but we got eggies you know...... we do we got eggies

i like this new machine, as it holds more then our old one
about double what our old one held

i will be tweeking the recipes

what i don't like about it is that you let it run until you hear strain on the motor
that worried me and bernie

but the icecream seems ok
it's in the freezer tempering now

(btw, you will be reading this in the morning......actually it's sunday night)

we did plain vanilla as bernie said 'let's try it first before you get creative'

so i am hoping to 'get creative'
every week
hahahahaha
i do so love my icecream you all know

now we had it churning on the deck but brought it in as it looked ( looks) like it's going to storm, and since it isn't even 7pm and it's BLACK out
i am assuming that those heavy dark clouds mean business

meanwhile i started to sort and label stuff in my studio
i am still not back to drawing ducks
but i did some halloween stuff
if i like them when all is finished, i am going to print them up and sell them on etsy
however in the meantime, until i can face ducks without cleo
and chickens without my marguerite.........it's halloween stuff and studio cleaning

oh and bernie's pitchforked foot appears to be healing

take good care you folks

    I'm happy to hear Bernie's foot is healing.

    Have you ever had frozen vanilla custard? IMO it is so much better than plain ice cream. My ice cream maker had a recipe for it that came with the machine, so maybe your does too??

    Hope you are both doing well. :)
