I do like ice cream

That’s what we had on the farm. We never went out and bought ice cream because we had dairy cows. Different farmers took turns having an ice cream social for friends in our area. Everyone brought their ice cream freezers and fixings to make their favorite kind. The ladies baked cookies to go with the ice cream. We’d get there and children would play games outside in the yard. The men would gather up and start cranking the churns and talk. The women would stay inside and make coffee and fix the platters full of cookies. It was fun to try so many different kinds of ice cream. But something about homemade ice creams that I didn’t like was that they melted so fast. We’d have to eat it in a hurry instead of relaxing and then get an ice cream headache. There is a way that Iearned to keep the ice cream from melting so fast. Make it with Jello. The gelatin in it keeps it firmer for a longer period of time. A lady I knew made strawberry ice cream with fresh strawberries and a box of gelatin, believe that she heated the cream, milk, and sugar and added the gelatin and then cooled the mixture and froze it. It was really good.
