You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream

For some doggone reason I have been jonesing to make some ice cream. Usually I'm just jonesing to eat some and that's easy enough. A quick trip to Baskin Robbins and I'm good to go. One of my latest favorites has been German Chocolate ice cream. Caramel, chocolate, nuts, coconut---really good stuff.

But for the past couple of days I've been really interested in making some myself. Not German Chocolate necessarily, but a flavor of my own creation.

I've been daydreaming about ginger flavored ice cream with flecks of chocolate! No, I'm not pregnant so don't even start with me. I love ginger and I love chocolate and I think they'd be dynamite together.

I have a small, old Cuisinart ice cream maker. I think it holds maybe a quart. Thing is, it works with a bowl that you have to freeze for at least 24 hours before you can make the ice cream. No biggie, but…


I'm looking to buy a new ice cream maker. One that you plug into the electrical outlet and presto! bango! whammo! Turn it on and you have ice cream!


If any one reading this owns such an ice cream maker I would be delighted to hear from you. I'd like to hear some recommendations as to a good one--maker, model, price.

Be good, be careful, take care, stay strong.

Way Ahead Of The Game

Didn't need anyone to tell me to turn the air conditioner on today. Woke up at 8am and it was already 77 degrees and humid. I turned the wall unit on in the family room, pulled the 'curtain' to block the hallway off, and turned on the fans in the living room and kitchen. Four hours later and the fans are off, the unit is on low and we're cool as cucumbers.


The local weather people say it's going to the mid-90's with high humidity. Today, tomorrow and Thursday.


If it's like that where you are, be careful. Drink plenty of fluids. Heat stroke is not fun.


Be good and be careful, take care, stay strong, stay cool.

It Just Gets Odder + Odder

Just when I think life can't get any more odd than it already is--it does.


HSM called just a few minutes ago. 'You've got the air on, right?' Nope, says me. It's not hot. 'Well, it's 93 degrees with a heat index of 97', she tells me. 'So go put the air on before you fall out from the heat.'


I checked with the weather channel and by golly she's right. It's hot!


But I'm not feeling it. I didn't even have a fan on before she phoned. Now though my house is all closed up, the window air conditioner is on and I have a couple of fans on through out the house just for good measure.


Used to be the heat kicked my butt big time. Must be those darn drugs they have me on.


Okay, so a word to the wise, check and see if it's hot by you. If it is ('cause the tv says it is) then turn on the air, or a bunch of fans, and drink lots of fluids. Heat stroke is not fun.


Be good and be careful, take care, stay strong.


no hugs because it's hot---
