Simple Fall Pleasures

One of the pleasures of living in the 

country is that you can just walk 

out to the dirt road in

front and pick a bouquet

of 

wild sunflowers.

The other day I had

some apples to use up

so I decided to make one of my favorite

fall desserts...

Apple Crisp.

However...

in my mind if you have 

Apple Crisp 

you simply MUST

have ice cream.

I didn't have any.

So...once I had my Apple Crisp in the oven

I pulled out my trusty

Donvier ice cream

maker and made some

simple

Vanilla Ice Cream.

Do you have one?

I tell you...this is just

the easiest way to make 

delicious home made

ice cream!

You just measure your ingredients...

heavy cream, milk, sugar, farm fresh eggs,

and vanilla

mix them a bit and pour them into 

the cold container.

Let it sit for about 2-3 minutes...

give the handle a few turns...

and then get yourself a 

magazine.

Continue to turn the handle

every few minutes for about 

 half an hour.

Easy Peasy.

No salt. 

No mess.

Once the ice cream was done

and while the Apple Crisp

cooled a bit

I headed out to pick

a few wild flowers.

Simple Pleasures.

This Friday is the first day of

Fall.

ENJOY!
