It's All Patience and Love

Well, we bought ourselves an ice cream maker.  Yep.  In the middle of winter - and the coldest week so far here in Ontario...and you know what?  It's awesome!   I should tell you though, that ice cream is all about patience and love.  It doesn't just happen in a few minutes...it takes time.  Isn't that a metaphor for all the best things in life?

The kids were mildly disappointed that we had to 1)chill the bowl for 24 hours prior to using and 2) chill the ice cream mixture for 2 hours before pouring it into the icy bowl.  Other than that, it's all gone well.  We have made chocolate and strawberry - both rival our good ol' favourite Kawartha Dairy.  That's right. Kawartha Dairy ice cream has been the top of our list for years...now it's going to be Adventure Mommy Ice Cream.

The patience part we tackled... and the love part?  That's easy!  That's one great recipe for deliciously awesome home made ice cream!

Keep smiling!
