Ice cream






Steve's parents were out of town most of last week, and Luke missed visiting with them so he kindly reminded me that Gma Susan mentioned homemade peach ice cream a couple of times this summer and that we should have some made for her and Gpa's return. So we thawed and crushed up some southern Illinois peaches, heated some milk, heavy cream, sugar and vanilla and let the machine do the rest of the work :)

As the pictures show, Luke was much more interested in being a taste tester once he realized the ingredients tasted SO good! He did help me stir a bit, but somehow kept trying to lick the mix off of the whisk. He was also very nice about taking the bags of peaches and putting them in the bucket until I needed to mix them into the milk mixture. (pics 1 & 2)

I did sample a little of the finished product and shared the rest with friends and family. Luke hasn't had any, but I would bet that he might share a bite with Gma this week :) Uncle Glenn will be relieved that Luke is finally getting a little taste of ice cream...
