Homemade: that word does not mean what you think it means

Hand-cranked!! Hand-cranked!!

Speaking of crank, it's about the only thing that is homemade anymore...

Ok now that was funny

Same here. Dad would buy a big block of ice and he would chip it with an ice pick and add it to the bucket (with rock salt) while I worked the crank. We usually made strawberry ice cream.

With strawberry's from the garden...........

I always preferred the plain vanilla....with choc syrup or sliced up berrys over it...

My preferred homemade flavor is chocolate cayenne. A little sweet, a little heat.

Anytime I open the can with my own hands, its homemade!

That's great and all, but it's also why people only get the ice cream freezer out once or twice a year.

I'm OK invoking technology from 1890 if it means I make ice cream more often.

I have recently declared war on sugar...well, actually, a harassing action. I have decided to only eat ice cream I make, so I have it much less often, but always quality, and I make it more than a couple of times a year.

Yup. I did that by mistake one time by forgetting to add sugar to the strawberry batch I made. The guests did not have the usual look of pleasure when I sat down with my bowl.

I ate in a restaurant in Albuquerque that had a palate cleanser between two courses that had house-made grapefruit sherbert with habaneros. Tart, cold, and hot. It was excellent, and I will probably never eat it again. :-(

I had a homemade bagel for breakfast this morning. It was quite tasty.

50% more cat hair if it's homemade.

Mmmm..... cat hair.

My old favorite - lime sherbet hot fudge sundae. Also tart, cold and hot, but not as extreme.

I'm severely spoiled from growing up with the real McCoy of homemade ice cream.
My grandma would mix it up with real cream, milk, flour, eggs, genuine vanilla extract, and a few drops of real lemon extract, then put it in the old White Mountain tub and have it spun by the electric motor in an ice/salt bath for about 45 minutes.
We three boys would then carefully lift out the dasher (the beater that mixes the ice cream while freezing), the lay it on a cookie sheet to clean up with our spoons.
Some very happy memories there, not to mention ice cream against which nothing you can buy in a store can begin to compare.

Make your own natural vanilla extract - two vanilla beans and a fifth of vodka.

Note:

You'll need the ENTIRE bean pod. Not just the little bean innards. And you'll also need time. Like months.

The pods are actually labeled as beans in the store. I have this in my cabinet and use it all the time.

Yeah...that's in there too. Lots of somewhat homemade concoctions that involve vodka or rum or various other essentials.
