An ice cream maker with sprinkle shutes...

This time one year ago my Ma's friend, now mine, Earl, was very, very sick...and so I told her that if she lived we would buy a soft ice cream maker with sprinkle shutes. Well, she did, thank goodness! So guess what we went and bought today....a soft ice cream maker!!! We were celebrating that Earl was alive! Yup, we braved the stores on Christmas Eve! But it gets even more complicated...the first store we went to, Home Outfitters near Polo Park: But alas, they didn't have one! It was quite a traumatic thing. But they located one for us in Transcona. Yup, all the way across town...practically across Canada!

But even in the slushy, not-good-for-driving weather we went to Transcona!When we got there we were so happy! Any of you who went out today will know what we are talking about!

And when we saw that ice cream maker sitting on the shelf...We couldn't contain the excitement!We made sure it was what we wanted...Ha! Of course we wanted it! We hadn't travelled across the universe for nothing!

So, we left Home Outfitters...but not before having a mini photo shoot with the new purchase!

As soon was we got back home we started putting it together.

Not without a few head scratches though....

and a few hearty laughs...But we got it together. And we realized that the ice cream bowl had to be frozen for 12 hours...we froze it for 2 hours. We were determined to eat ice cream today...even if we ended up kinda drinking it.

And in between all this ice cream making...the fries for our chili fries fell out of the oven, yup, fell...I was helpless with laughter!

Thankfully Earl rescued them from the clutches of the oven...and they tasted pretty good!

Our ice cream was drippy since the bowl was not nearly frozen long enough...but the skor bits (that came out of the sprinkle shute) made it delicious.

Even Ma, who never ever has ice cream, had some...it was very special ice cream!


Cheers to Earl and to Christmas Eve!
