we all scream for ICE CREAM!

ICE CREAM IN A BAG

Remember making butter in YW or on your Pioneer trek if you ever did that? Everyone passed around the jar of cream and gave it a good shake. After a few rounds, the cream had magically turned to butter. Here is a similar feat that not only yields dessert but exercise for the kids--ice cream in a bag. Here's how it works.

1: Place 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 cup light cream (half and half)
and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a quart-size heavy zip-top plastic
bag and seal.

2. Place that bag in a gallon size heavy zip-top bag. Layer ice
and rock salt in the gallon bag and seal.

3. Toss the bag back and forth for approximately 10 minutes, and
voila, it's ice cream. Serves 2 hot kids (or adults).

Okay, that's all there is to it but...do not, I repeat do not, toss it in the house cuz the zip lock could come open and make a mess with the ice and rock salt. hehe I would recommend wearing gloves cuz even though it's only 10 minutes it really does get mighty cold. If they want to make their own they can just pass it from one of their hands to the other...you do get some rather tasty, creamy ice cream. ENJOY!
