Cornstarch and Water

I’m pulling out an old post again and reposting it. My almost-8-year-old has been asking me to make this again. I need to put cornstarch on the grocery list so when ‘Indian Summer’ hits I can mix some up and send her outside to play 😀

So I mixed some up for them. They had a lovely time with it!

Hot Summertime = Homemade Ice Cream

Family· Food· Photography

Nothing tastes better in the hot summertime than homemade ice cream. Homemade ice cream is cheaper than taking everyone to the Pop-up Ice Cream shop down on the corner, and we think it’s better too. Well, I guess the kids don’t always think so – they like to spend Dad’s money 🙂 They do, on occasion, pay for the ice cream themselves. And The Teenager is now old enough and brave enough to take Middle Sister and Little Sister and walk down there sans adult. I’ve had some requests for my homemade ice cream recipe so one of the recent times we made some I took a ‘few’ photos of the process. Such is the life of a blogger – camera on hand at all times!
