Christmas was especially fun this year – mostly because everything I could ever want was still listed on our Bed, Bath & Beyond registry so we didn’t have to brainstorm when the looming question was asked, “so what would you like for Christmas?”. I recommend registries for all people whether you are getting married or not (that or blogs with wishlists).
So naturally Jeremy and I were thrilled when his Dad and Vicki bought us this:
Jeremy was more thrilled than me. Of course I want an old-fashioned ice cream maker but here are my reasons why I am dreading using this gizmo.
- I don’t know how to make ice cream.
- Any ice cream will be compared to Jeremy’s dad’s ice cream – which is amazing.
- Ice cream can not be made in small quantities and has a short shelf life: read – I will gain 8 lbs instantly.
- It takes all day and you have to plan in advance…which I stink at.
SO…here’s the kicker…I, with a little BOWER POWER…will attempt at suppressing my fears, living dangerously, and make ice cream. Cappuccino-Toffee Crunch Ice cream to be exact.
Here is the recipe that I found that sounds super yummy. Of course – I will not serve to underage ice cream eaters.
Or maybe I am being too ambitious…darn it, I am, aren’t I?!?
