Thoughts from Phyllis

Wow!  July already?  It certainly feels like it outside!   I hope everyone has a Happy and safe 4th of July! 
This holiday always reminds me of homemade ice cream.  My mother used to make it every 4th.  Of course she would make the kind that has to be cooked first and then put into the ice cream maker.  We would all take turns cranking the machine. (Funny how we thought that was fun!)  We would make peach ice cream with fresh peaches and then we would make Orange Crush ice cream for the all the kids.  Delicious!  I do not even own a machine now – but I think I will get one for the 4th of July dinner at my house!  I do not think I will make the kind that you cook but any recipes are welcome. 

Remember to bring your food items on Tuesday!  

See you then!
