I hear.....Ice Cream a churnin'...

We started off the evening with a low-country boil, Lander style. Hands down, best one ever. Not too spicy, and SO. MUCH. FOOD. If anyone knows Lander, then you know when we have a get together or a party that he shops for, it would be a shock if we ran out of food. And "hole caw" was it so good! Lander can cook! Then, the suprise birthday cake was served, that Nanny El made and Lil Lander decorated for Myles, Diesel and my little brother Kristopher, who had came down to stay for a week. It was delicious, just as it was pretty! It looked like a motorcycle track, complete with 3 motorcycles :) Then, we decided to make some good ole' homemade ice cream..

This is that old hand crank ice cream maker from when Lander was a child.

(the one he says, and I quote,"wore my arm slap out")

The other ice cream churn from when Lander was young, the electric upgrade!

Now, let me say, this was the best ice cream. Nanny El took out a cookbook she said was from 1960 I believe, and modified the recipe to her own likeness, and it was fabulous. This ended up being one of the most memorable times I've had.

Myles cranking right along!

Myles holding the churn, and my brother Kristopher taking his turn!

Sweet lil Diesel. Now look at this photo.... in the background is Lander. If you look back and forth from one to the other, it's like seeing the past, present, past, present.... They look so much alike.

Diesel's turn!

Lil Lander putting the spin on it.. while I add the ice! All the while, the electric one (after a small shove at the beginning!) is just rolling right along... freezing and a' spinnin!

ohhh, and the work was worth it..

cause it was juuuusssttttt. right, yummmmmm. Myles ate one cone of ice cream and one cup of ice cream, too!
