Thursday Thing

Sorry, I was SO busy yesterday I had no time to do a Thursday Thing! Here is yesterday's :

Mini caramel Frap! We went to Starbucks and got a big Carm. frap and split it into cups for all the kids!

Cookies!

Yesterday we made cookies, and they were delicious! Meanwhile, I snapped some shots . . .

Home-made Ice-Cream!

Have you ever not wanted to go all the way down to the grocery store to get ice-cream? Or just day dreamed about making your own? Well now, with this recipe, by following easy directions, you can do it!

What you'll need:

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 cup milk or half & half
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 6 tablespoons rock salt
• 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc) 
• 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag
• Ice cubes 

How to make it:

1. Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.
2. Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.
3. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.
4. Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.
5. Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy! 

Tips:

A 1/2 cup milk will make about 1 scoop of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more. But don't increase the proportions more that that -- a large amount might be too big for kids to pick-up because the ice itself is heavy.


I hope you like it! I think I may try it myself....

Breakfast...

As a treat, this morning we had cinnamon roles! They were really good, and I can't wait to have them again!
