Make your own ice cream - Brainstorm

Ok, it's been a while so I owe it to you to tell you where I've been. I do a lot of rock climbing,I'm learning Spanish, and I've started getting back into chess. Oh, and I've started my first garden this summer. All of this, plus the baby raising of course, has left me less time to blog. But that's not to say I haven't thought about you. I have a whole back log of ideas in my head that are just waiting to be blog entries, so stay tuned.
The most recent idea came from my family reunion. Did you know that you can make ice cream by pouring milk, cream, and flavoring into a 1 quart zip lock bag, then putting that bag (sealed) into a one gallon zip lock bag filled with ice and rock salt. Then just mash and shake the two bags together for about 10 minutes. Open the bag, insert spoon, and enjoy.
The great thing about this is that each child can make their own. You can have a variety of flavorings, sprinkles, cookies crumbles, and chopped up candy bars for the kids to choose from. You may want to provide gloves or suggest that they bring their own since the bags can become very cold to handle, but overall, this could be an awesome summer program.
