So as you know, I’ve been having ice cream dreams what with the ice cream maker on my birthday list and everything (unfortunately now I’m off dairy so I can’t actually eat ice cream ). My MIL had an ice cream maker in her freezer that she’s never used so she sent it home with me when we were down there on Monday. Now I can cross it off my list! I’m going to the store this afternoon and hope to try it out tonight.
While I was looking for frozen yogurt recipes (which I can eat because dairy has live cultures that will make the dairy so it doesn’t bug Henry), I came across this amusing site on how to make ice cream with children instead of an ice cream maker. This looks like something my kids would love to do on a hot day. Plus, it has a whole explanation of the thermodynamics of ice cream making so it could qualify as a science project (did you hear that, Dad???). Here’s the link: Homemade Ice Cream Maker. Let me know if you try this out (and naturally I’ll do the same if/when we try it). Looks like the site has all kinds of other neat science toys and things you can do with your kids too.

OOOO we’ll have to try it. We did the whole ice cream maker thing on Monday with ice and rock salt and all that. The kids were in heaven!
