Ice Cream

I love ice cream! When I was a kid, ice cream was probably the best thing you could have gotten me- it was a treat for the whole family really. Ice cream was something that brought us all together, especially on a warm, or even hot summer day! I remember ice cream from the carry out near my house- my dad would say that we are going for ice cream, and we would all pile into the car and go the the carry out! Their ice cream was a very special type of ice cream- they would dip their ice cream in that hot chocolate dip- you know, the kind that hardens onto the ice cream and forms that crunchy shell? Oh my that was the best ice cream in the world. As I recall they would dip the vanilla ice cream into the red strawberry dip sometimes as well! I tell you what that is ice cream heaven! Other good times I remember with ice cream was that we would make it ourselves at home. We had bought one of those ice cream makers with the cranks, and you could make your own ice cream the way you wanted to make it from the comfort of your own home! That ice cream was the best ice cream ever! I remember once we even made ice cream at boy scout camp with two coffee cans and some salt and ice. I guess salt water lowers the temperature of the ice to the point where it will freeze the cream and the milk and all the other ingredients, and we were able to make ice cream in the summer time in Texas! Again, eating ice cream is a passion of mine, so I thought I would blog about it! I hope you come back and read more about ice cream on my ice cream blog!
