Simple Ice Cream



Braum's.

My favorite ice cream store.

Has been since I was big enough to stand up in the front seat, between my parents.

Yep, you read that right.

That used to be legal!

I could spot this sign from a mile away:



My mom and dad even got to the point where they wouldn't say the word anymore . . .they'd spell it!   . . .As if!!

"Do you want to stop at 'B.R.A.U.M'S?" they'd say.

"I do!"  I'd say!

Then, I got where I'd say, "Let's go to B.R.A.U.M'S!" 

I was a smart kid!

Now that I'm older . . .and wearing a seatbelt, I like Braum's for:
  1. ice cream
  2. milk
  3. sausage
  4. egg nog
  5. sour cream
  6. bananas
  7. chocolate milk
  8. buttermilk
  9. bread
  10. jalapeno dip
There's probably more reasons why I like Braum's -- but I think 10's a good number.  I'm stopping there for now!

So, why do I write this?

Tonight I made a homemade strawberry sauce, and a mixed berry sauce, and homemade ice cream . . . which made me think of Braum's, which made me think of how much I love ice cream, which made me remember that I've always loved ice cream, which made me think of the funny story about B.R.A.U.M'S!

If you can't get to a Braum's -- first, I feel sorry for you!  You need to go find one!  But if that's not possible, the make this yummy ice cream at home!

Ok, I already know -- there are raw eggs in the recipe. 

I know!

I started as a young kid, introducing small amounts of raw egg into my diet, through things like raw cookie dough, cake batter, and delicious ice cream.  I've built up a tolerance toward any dangers of raw eggs!  But!  If you're a little more careful about your ingestion of e coli, use the pasteurized egg substitute in the recipe.  I don't know how that stuff works, but if you know the name brand, and you're screaming it right now -- hoping I'll hear, I trust that you'll know exactly how to use it in this recipe!



This is our delicious ice cream churning--
it's a beautiful sight!

Basic Ice Cream

2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
milk

Place all of the ingredients in a large pyrex measuring bowl.  Add enough (Braum's)  milk to make 4 cups total.
Pour the ingredients into your small ice cream freezer.


If you have the large "old fashioned" freezer -- you know the one; it makes a whole gallon of delicious frozen concoction, double this recipe and enjoy it a day longer!

Freeze according to ice cream maker's directions.

Allow treat to "ripen" and enjoy a big bowl!




**This recipe is adapted from a friend's recipe-- they double the recipe, add 4 mashed bananas, 1 cup chopped nuts, 1 container of thawed frozen strawberries (in the syrup/juice), and additional milk.  It makes a full gallon.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
