Homemade Ice Cream!

Oh Boy! Our first Patchy ice cream. (Milk around here is now known as Patchy milk.) Thanks to my friend Lisa, who let me borrow her ice cream maker, I just made our first batch of ice cream from our own cream! And ofcourse I had to make strawberry, as they are precious right now. Our strawberry patch has beeen picked and picked and now the volume is starting to dwindle. The impetous to start making our own ice cream is Bea's birthday on the 10th. We're having an early family party this weekend and thought it would be the perfect birthday treat. It is extra special because before tonight Bea hasn't had ice cream yet. (We're pretty careful about keeping tabs her sugar intake.) So glad homemade with our own cream, eggs & strawberries will be her first.
I already can't wait to make more. I think my next batch will be mint chocolate chip! Ah, summer!
