Saturday

Hubby has taken the turnip truck to a car show today. I think perhaps he is becoming rather fond of it, which might make it difficult for him to part with it.

I've killed the ants with a lovely ant spray (odorless) from Lowe's. No more have come in since I sprayed so word must have gotten out.

Yesterday, I made a lovely chocolate chip mint ice cream in my ice cream attachment for my mixer.

Easy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups 2% milk (I used skim)
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used 1/2 tsp)
1 teaspoon peppermint extract (I used 3/4 tsp)
3 drops green food coloring
(optional)
1 cup miniature semisweet (I used shavings from 1&1/2 Hershey bar)
chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
1.
In a large bowl, stir together the milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract and peppermint extract until the sugar has dissolved. Color to your liking with the green food coloring.
2.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. After about 10 minutes into the freezing, add the chocolate chips. After the ice cream has thickened, about 30 minutes later, spoon into a container, and freeze for 2 hours.
