We rarely do crafty food projects. In fact, I may be correct by saying that we never do crafty food projects. I don’t even want to tell you about the cake pop fiasco that happened when I attempted to make a batch for Amir’s engagement party. It was such a mess. When it comes to cake pops, some people are champions, and others…well, they get a “good effort” pat on the back. When it comes to chocolate covered-anything, now that is a place where we can keep up with the competition.

We both have automatic ice cream makers ready to go in our cabinets. Up until now, though, they’ve been just been chilling on the shelves, collecting dust. We were so excited when we each got ours, but after churning one or two varieties of homemade ice cream, for whatever reason the batches just stopped coming. Recently, we’ve come to our senses, brushed off the gadgets, rolled up our sleeves and got to work. It’s summertime for crying out loud!
