That's how and where I found myself. It wasn't a creek, however, it was my daughter's kitchen. We go to Bend to visit her rather frequently, and I love to make ice cream while I'm there. It really helps if I take
all the parts of the ice cream maker. I've forgotten the frozen bowl before. That truly is a dead end for the project. Some of the other parts can certainly be improvised.

So
Things I get to do today are
invent a paddle for the ice cream maker and learn how to use it--not a problem for a Handy Andy. One of the kitchen drawers yielded a rather stiff rubber scraper, and we were on our way. Just plunge that baby into the turning, frozen bowl and hold it in one position so it can scrape the side. Stand there holding and scraping
long enough and the frozen ice cream will mix with the unfrozen until all is firm and ready to eat!
For those of you who love ice cream but have found that milk products don't agree with you, stay tuned for a recipe of the smoothest, creamiest ice cream you can imagine with no cream or milk whatsoever.
Well, that was pretty amazing thinking on your part!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam. Just hoping to be an inspiration to everyone that there are many ways to succeed at a task even when it looks hopeless. There is always hope.
DeleteThat's what my husband would call Redneck Engineering - except he would have duct taped the spatula in place. :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an engineering feat. But the duct tape is a guy thing, don't you think? Thanks for your input. I'll move duct tape higher up on my list of possible solutions. Can't have too many.
ReplyDeleteI love your ingenuity and that ice cream is such a priority! I get that...
ReplyDeleteWhere there's a will, there's a way! Love to you, m'dear.
