We all scream for...

My dearest Aunt and Uncle gave my family an ice cream maker since they were going to get rid of it and I'm SUPER EXCITED about it. Why? For home made ice cream of course. I'll have to actually post a recipe eventually, but I think I'm going to have to just post pictures of what I've been enjoying and how much I'm enjoying more often so I don't neglect this as much. Right now? Home made ice cream is the best. I look like the biggest fat kid going to the store though, because I come out carrying lots of heavy cream, whole milk and sugar. It's so worth it. I promise.

I tried to tell someone the other day that my life doesn't revolve around food: eating, cooking, preparing, shopping, thinking about, but then I realized it'd be a complete lie. Since I've gotten this ice cream maker, I've had a bit of a berry obsession. I've been buying fresh blackberries because my favorite ice cream so far is blackberry ice cream. That's the picture up there. It's especially good when it's topped with freshly picked blueberries by yours truly. There's the cutest blueberry patch ever in the middle of Chapin (you know you live in a small town when....) that I've been frequenting. I love the feeling of standing inside the blueberry bush (ducking under branches and standing right beside the stem) and being surrounded by all of the ripest blueberries ever. I may or may not break the rule about "taste testing only". Oops.

I hope heaven is filled with berry bushes and ripe fruit. If I designed it, it would be.
