Well, technology's great in some situations, but completely improper in others. Don't you agree?

no. I've made ice cream both ways and believe me, motor-turned makers churn out the same quality. The flavor's in the recipe, old man, not the damned crank!

Now kiddo, you shouldn't go off concerning things you don't understand! I wasn't referring to its improperness concerning flavor, but because such a motorized contraption does not involve the entire family, and therefore is of a lesser quality. I mean, would your family gather around a whirring motor and say, "Ooooh, look at it churn!" I doubt it! But, if they were doing the churning themselves, think of all the awesome memories which would be created.

That's why I said improper!

That's what I'm really looking forward to. Make 'em work up a sweat, and then gift them with delicious goodness. *grin*

It was truly a blast when I was a kid, and I hope it will be for mine as well.

Thanks for reading!

It's true, the hand-cranked ice cream does taste different!

Ours was always peppermint ice-milk, which took forever to churn (probably because of the low fat content) and always tasted a bit salty because the cannister would leak a little. But still, very good!

That sounds like an interesting flavor. Lizbeth has voted for either vanilla or french vanilla the first time around. Hopefully, our canister won't leak.

Thanks for reading!

The peppermint was always made by first pulverizing those giant peppermint sticks, so it typically had real peppermint candy in it.

I will always pass on vanilla for a more interesting flavor. Chocolate! Mocha! Cherry chunk! *glaaagh~~* (Homer Simpson drool noise)

Oooh, I love homemade ice cream! Loved this piece- especially the line about having learned what "soon" means when adults say it.

So glad you enjoyed it!

Yup, you sometimes gotta keep your whits about you when you're young and you're talking to an adult. They'll try and trick you every time. *grin*
