Ziploc Bag Ice Cream

I can see my grandpa sitting on the back steps outside wearing the same light blue 

colored jean-pants he always wore and a short-sleeved dress shirt. 

He is hand-cranking the ice cream maker, with a big container of salt sitting next to him, 

making homemade ice cream for everyone on a hot Sunday afternoon.

My grandma is in the kitchen wearing an apron and cutting peaches at the counter.

I assume the peaches are for the ice cream but I can't say for sure, my grandma 

was famous for her peach pie. 

I dreamed this the other night, the day the kids and I made the ice cream.  

It was the kind of dream where you wake up and wonder if it really happened or not.

It seemed so real, and I have to say I love the idea of them together somewhere
 making ice cream on a hot Summer day. I have a lot of favorite childhood memories but homemade ice cream at my grandma & grandpa's has to be one of my very favorites.

Anyway, I mentioned the ziploc bag ice cream recipe yesterday so here ya go.

The recipe is from this magazine. 

This makes just enough ice cream for one person, it's not a lot, definitely not the recipe you
would want if you wanted to make very much at all. 

But, it's easy and something the kids really can do. And,  it is actually good ice cream. 

I remember making it at work once when I was still working at school 

and I don't remember ours turning out so good.

Oh, I should tell you that we definitely had to shake our bags for more than five minutes, maybe we are just slow, I don't know. Making the ice cream was on our Summer List so we can check it off now.
Later this week I will share our list with you, the kids were really excited about making it this year.
I'm not big on having a bunch of  things scheduled all the time but I do like having some things
 planned and an idea of some things we hope to do.
I think I might need to add Haircut for Wyatt to that list after looking at these pictures.
 That boy has some crazy, thick hair and like mine it kinda poofs out in the humidity.
And this is why my hair pretty much stays up on top of my head in messy bun all summer long.

If you try make the ice cream I hope it turns out for you, it is delish.
Messy, but good, which is why we ate ours outside.
You should make yourself a bag too because my kids didn't want to share theirs with me at all.
Not even when I reminded them that I did most of the shaking.

This morning I am going to pick up coffee, run a couple of errands and browse the library bookshelves all by myself. I might even listen to Notorious B.I.G. or something else scandalous that I can't
 listen to while the kids are in the car. hahahahahahaaaa.
Happy middle-of-the-week, y'all!
