Oct. 6, 2008 - Polar Bear Ice Cream
In our reading lesson today, (BJU Press) we had a short lesson on following directions. The activity looked like fun, and if your children are anything like mine, reminders to follow directions are always useful. So...to that end..we made "Polar Bear Ice Cream" The entire time we were following the directions for the recipe I was praying that it would turn out....I've had experiences of following the recipe exactly and then it didn't look or taste anything like it was supposed to! I wasn't quite sure how I would explain that -sometimes, even if you follow the directions, it doesn't work? I was quite relieved that I didn't end up having to give any explanations!
Here are the directions for "Polar Bear Ice Cream"
1/2 cup of milk
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla
1 Tablespoon of sugar
1 quart-sized sealable bag
1 gallon sized sealable bag
ice
6 Tablespoons of salt
a hand towel
1. Mix the milk, vanilla and sugar in the smaller bag and seal it.
2. Fill the larger bag half full of ice. Also put in the salt and the small bag. Seal the big bag.
3. Wrap the big bag in a towel. Shake it for 5 minutes.
4. Take out the little bag and wipe it off with the towel. Eat the ice cream. (Makes 1/2 cup)
**It said the ice would last for mulitple servings...but we just made the one."

It sounds a little bit like 'snow' ice cream which we used to love when we had fresh snow: a big bucket of snow mixed with vanilla and sugar and milk. Yummy :-).
