    “We all scream for ice cream” – or meow rather! Staff and agecny kitties with scoops in paw will be serving up a zillion flavours today as: frozen yogurt, fat-full, fat-free, soy, lactose free, or whatever else you like.

    All of our cats have enjoyed a wee tasting of ice cream although we haven’t had any in the house for quite a few years.
    Didn’t make it to Tuesdays Cafe even though I didn’t help feed out to the stock today. Had one of those days where I was hoping to get lots done but ended up doing heaps for others and having a multitude of interruptions. Sigh
    Great news, I am a Great Aunty again, my little Great Nephew arrived 3 weeks early at a healthy 7lb 2oz. He is certainly a stocky wee chap(his Mother’s words).

    Congrats, MS, on becoming a great aunt again!

    Cute little ice cream loving kits. We have a countertop ice cream maker that is pretty compact and convenient. It’s in the shape of an old fashioned ice cream bucket, which is cute. We had it in storage for three years and only just used it again now that we have room for it. Only took four ingredients and 20 minutes to have delicious homemade ice cream. The kids do get the experience of old fashioned hand churning once a year. My brother brings his old fashioned bucket to the mountains every summer.

    We’ve had a lot of rain here too, AV. Cute to hear about Caddy’s set up. I think we need a pic of her on her cat tree. (Maybe you shared one on a day I didn’t make it here?).

    Hey, I have some chocolate ice cream in the freezer now! Living with Mr. KZ, ice cream is a must and of course the granddaughters….and me too if truth be told! 😆

    ECB, I love homemade ice cream, but like it more frozen than most people. Most times it turns into cold milk with sugar as most people don’t take long enough to make it really frozen. Of course my daughters complain about how hard my ice cream is, they try putting it in the microwave because it hurts their teeth….WUSSIES!! 😛

    Morning all!

    I have several flavours of ice cream as well as choco covered bars as well as frozen Greek yogurt chillin in freezer! And the butterscotch ripple flavour – which I’ll probably never quite look at in the same way – looks a lot like the orangie kit chart! 😉

    Congrats to you and family “Great Aunty MS” on the new arrival! 🙂

    Cow’s milk and white sugar are two things I avoid, so no chocolate ice cream, but I much prefer kittens!

    And Livia’s wee darkest chocolate (or liquorice) paw-pads!

    Livia isn’t especially fond of treats. She did eat a bit of plain poached chicken I gave her (I was poaching it to make Asian-type soups) but likes her cat kibble just as much. She also ate a bit of goat-milk yogourt I let her eat. Unlike Renzo, she doesn’t like sardines.

    Chocolate is my favorite ice cream, and there’s some in my freezer now! Just last night I had a scoop with orange soda.
    ConCATS on being a great auntie again, MS! My 12 day old great nephew is all the way over on the west coast, but I get lots of pics.

    Moonshadow, congratulations!

    I’ll just enjoy an espresso as the others are eating their gelato al cioccolato at our café. It is a cat café, obviously.

    I agree KJ. That orange kitty/caramel vanilla chart makes me think twice.

    Concats MS-Great Aunting is fun! I always give them back. 😆
    No really, being a great Aunt is special.

    Well, well, well – doesn’t Miss Caddy have quite the place. 😉

    Since it’s Choco. Ice Scream day, I picked up some vanilla Bean. I normally get Rocky Road but I’m on this vanilla kick.

    Gotta finish litter boxes and recycle because tomorrow is our day.

    Good afternoon all, we had a slight frost this morning followed by a glorious sunny day so far. Is it really Winter? Guess global warming is doing this. 🙁
    I am a great Aunt 9 times over and to only one girl. This wee chap is only the second one on my side of the family and I sadly won’t get to see much of him as he lives overseas. 🙁 along with his older brother. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he is another red head like his brother. 🙂 🙂
    Homemade ice cream, I remember that from when I was a child. Mum made ice cream with evaporated milk and it had the most awesome flavour. I wonder if she can remember how she made it. Maybe not. 🙁
    We have a flavour here that is all Kiwi, it is called Hokey Pokey and is small chunks of hokey pokey or honeycombe stirred into the ice cream. Mmmm
    Lagatta, we avoid white sugar as much as possible and use skim milk.
    Shadz is a terror and loves a nibble of our foods but only if it’s not processed food.
    JJ, I think we are about the same distance away from our respective great nephews. We get lots of pics via my brother who lives here too, lots of pictures. Bubs caught everyone on the hop as his grandparents were in the UK instead of home.
    JK, love the wee owl. OMG JK, that was so evil of you to post that ice cream with a cherry on top. Now I have a hankering for ice cream.
    AV, love the pics of Caddy’s realm. That girl is a princess.
    Busy day grocery shopping with Mum and now doing the books for the business. 😕

    Here’s how to make old fashioned homemade ice cream if you don’t have an ice scream machine (my niece said her grandma made it this way): http://foodists.ca/2010/06/03/making-ice-cream-the-old-fashioned-way.html

    Here’s one for a hand crank machine: http://www.almanac.com/content/how-make-old-fashioned-ice-cream

    My eldest great niece and nephew live in Virginia so I don’t see them too often. Here’s a senior picture of my great niece. She starts college in the Fall. I know we don’t normally have family pics but I’m so proud of Adriana so I’m sharing-
