Vanilla ice cream for 6 quart

1- 1/2 large box vanilla instant pudding (the large size is about 3/4 cups). I usually buy it in bulk and use 1 cup
2 1/2 -3 cups sugar (depends on how sweet you like it, we usually lean
towards 3 cups.)
2 1/2 -3 quart half and half (this can depend on how much fruit you use).
1 teaspoon of vanilla not critical if it isn't added
Mix well until dissolved.

Add in fruit or what ever flavor desired. The amount of sugar can depend on the fruit being sweetened; so taste it before freezing.

Our favorite is
Pineapple one can crushed and drained
Peaches diced then add more on top when serving yum!
Strawberries the same as peaches
Mango
Blackberry

To name a few or mix them up with bananas

You can use chocolate pudding and chocolate syrup and toasted almonds

My all time favorite is use French vanilla pudding and make just vanilla. When frozen carefully swirl in caramel syrup and toasted pecans.

Quilt Retreat June 09

This quilt is also at the quilter's being quilted. I have finished quite a few projects this summer. The retreat was a great start and great motivator.

The monkey fabric wound up as a four patch quilt, Morae quilted it and the binding is on it!! WooHoo!!

We didn't have a design wall available, so we had a design bed. We are so resourceful=)

Calling this beautiful home a cabin isn't quite right, it is in the mountains but not a cabin. We ate well and I'm looking for the meatloaf recipe, the egg breakfast recipe, bean hints, and ...

Working away in the beautiful basement.

The border is finished and fabulous but, man, it was a lot of work.

"Donna Does it Again" April Quilt Group

Donna is our Quilt Super Shopper, She found another big find. All this Timbleberries fabric. She could have kept it all but she put it in little packs and shared them with our group. We are thinking up a pattern we can all do together.

Thanks again Donna!
