So, it was DH's birthday the other day and of course that means finding the perfect gift for a man that needs nothing. While shopping, I thought about buying a card and of course, a gift bag. I was a Cost Plus Imports or World Market or whatever they call themselves now, and found the card. BTW, they have cute cards for not so much. Then I looked at the gift bags for $3+ and saw the shopping bag for $.99. Guess which one I bought. Maybe you have thought of this before, but it was like an (incandescent) light bulb went off. Silly, but just thought I'd share.
I also made some ice cream today using this recipe. You make it with sweetened condensed milk made from powdered milk. I didn't take any photos, so I may need to recreate it if it's good. I think I whipped the whipped cream too much also, it was a bit beyond stiff peaks. It made it difficult to fold together smoothly. I also added fresh cherries and mine came out purple, not the pleasant pink shade in Crystal's pic. I did sneak out to the freezer and tried a spoonful at the soft serve stage. Not bad. I have two more pints of heavy cream in the freezer, so this might warrant more trial and error.
