I fill the ice-cream void in my life as able on my vacations and trips home, but sometimes I just need a good bowl of ice-cream here, when I want it! Thanks to a buddy of mine, his creativity, camp counselor history, and love for surfing the internet searching for fun recipes, my selfish “ice-cream need” prayers have been answered and I can now have ice-cream anytime I want! Try-out the following recipe for a yummy bowl of inexpensive, missionary in Africa, soft-serve, ice-cream! For fun you can add different spices or items to your mixture for a different flavor of ice-cream. We made mango, chocolate, cinnamon, & coconut-ginger flavors! Enjoy!
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cups crushed ice
4 tablespoons salt
2 quart size Zip-loc bags
1 gallon size Zip-loc freezer bag
a hand towel or gloves to keep fingers from freezing as well!
Mix the milk, vanilla and sugar together in one of the quart size bags. Seal tightly, allowing as little air to remain in the bag as possible. Too much air left inside may force the bag open during shaking. Place this bag inside the other quart size bag, again leaving as little air inside as possible and sealing well. By double-bagging, the risk of salt and ice leaking into the ice cream is minimized. Put the two bags inside the gallon size bag and fill the bag with ice, then sprinkle salt on top. Again let all the air escape and seal the bag. Wrap the bag in the towel or put your gloves on, and shake and massage the bag, making sure the ice surrounds the cream mixture. Five to eight minutes is adequate time for the mixture to freeze into ice cream.

Wooowhooo! Yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I think I know some steaming hot Kansans that are going to love that. And I am so happy that God delights in giving you some of your 'favorite' things, even as you are far from 'home.'
I love ice cream too! How resourceful of you all to make your own! What a welcomed treat that is well deserved for you all. May you always have access to the ingredients and the time to shake some up!
So here's a local ice-cream update... the infamous "FOUR-U" that you so lovingly refer to is growing in popularity. At any given hour (and I've tried each and every one believe me!) there is a line of at least 20-25 customers! Yes, that's how much we love ice-cream in the Upper Valley!!
Looking forward to a welcome home ice-cream party with ya in December... xxoo

Thanks for posting some of your goings-on, and the photos of your sweet babies and your living quarters, etc. You are blessing the lives of many as they are blessing yours. Life is good and all thanks go to our Father in Heaven. Keep up the good work.
I remember when I first went to England and all I wanted was Mexican food--there was none to be found 30 years ago! I think about you often as Anthonette is getting ready to go to Germany with YWAM Marriage of the Arts. Thanks to your encouragement and report of your experience with YWAM Mykell Walton had a wonderful experience and is going back in August as staff and Anthonette is going to pursue her love for God, music, missions and travel. I am thrilled that she has found an organization that covers everything. Have a great week. I love reading your blog. Misty
