Ice Cream Pop's Birthday







These are the ingredients for the recipe I got from Sharla which I think came from her mom. I have my grannies ice cream maker that I have sweet memories of having ice cream on hot summer nights at their ranch in Mingus, Texas. I remember my grandpa having a taste to make sure it was just right and then letting us try it to tell him what we thought. I remember the loud noise of the maker going while we talked and waited for it to get done. I was just going to make the ice cream by myself, that would have been much easier and cleaner, but the blessing I got from letting the girls help was priceless. I got to share with them how to clean as we go, let them both experience breaking an egg and explaining we didn't want any shells in the mix. I got to let them pour, stir, and watch their faces with excitement and grossness and hear them giggle. Such a little task to endure to receive the blessing and memories my girls gave me. I hope later they will remember these days.
We made the ice cream at home before we went to Sharla's for dinner. Rylan was at her house helping her fix chicken fried steak (my favorite), mash potatoes, ranch cucumbers, fried okra and hot rolls. They had the table set all nicely when we arrived. Russ worked later than usual but we waited for him and got to eat by 7 p.m. Then Nanaw came over for Choc. Cake that Ry and Shar made and homemade ice cream.

Micah stirring all the ingredients. They were kinda grossed out by the look of the eggs breaking up.





Wait for it.....
