Homemade Ice Cream and Friends

Yesterday we had a fun summer night with our friends, Jody & Gwendolyn. They are expecting their first baby any day now. How exciting!!!


Whenever we get together with them it is always a delightful culinary experience. Gwendolyn is a pastry chef but is also a tremendous cook in things other than dessert. She always has some fun cooking trick up her sleeve whether we dine at their place or ours. Once, we made individual homemade pizzas (she made the dough from scratch!). Another time we made individual choclate molten cakes. Gwendolyn showed me how to make the thick and gooey chocolate chip cookies that many of you know and love. Last night they brought over a hand-crank ice cream contraption and we hand-cranked our own blackberry ice cream. I don't think I've ever experienced homemade ice cream before?? YUMMY!


Jody got a new lens for his fancy camera so we took some fun pictures of our hand-cranked evening.

John's not too sure about getting his picture taken on that chair. Uhhh, remember what happened last time, mom??


Sure...make the pregnant lady do the work?!

Wait I'm coming!!

Let me help too!!

Me and my exuberant laugh. "Cranking is fun, y'all!"

The men showing off their muscles
Look at that ice cream goodness
We licked that paddle clean...literally.

Thanks, Merazberries, for spending one of your last evenings as a kid-less couple with us. We always have fun with you guys!
