Yesterday we had some friends over for a “homemade ice cream + homemade waffle cone + sprinkler party!” It was on my summer to-do list.
Homemade “No Churn” Ice Cream
We had 4 flavors of ice cream: 1) Mint chocolate chip, 2) Vanilla, 3) Chocolate, 4) Blueberry Cheesecake. I enjoyed 3 of the 4 flavors immensely… not so much the mint chocolate chip. It was made of all “healthy” foods and was too bitter in my opinion. But we had a great time tasting the flavors and making the waffle cones. So the kids played in the sprinklers for a while and then ate ice cream for a while and then ran through the sprinklers again to clean off all the ice cream! 🙂
And today is my birthday (yay me!) so we’ve done all sort of exciting things: killing Japanese beetles, Chloe drew me a nice card, went out to eat for breakfast, went on a 3 mile run, enjoyed some caribou and then Tim got off work early! So, we’re about to enjoy a delicious dinner and I think I heard something about ice cream cake!!
Ah, life is good!
Any chance we can have one of those parties at the family get-together (minus the sprinkler)? It has been ages since I had home-made ice cream and I’ve never made waffle cones.
why YES, YES we should do that as part of our get-together! 🙂
