Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

Posted on | June 13, 2010 | 4 Comments

Woke up at 5:15 (’cause D had a mid-morning tee time) but didn’t get up till 6:45 (’cause it wasn’t my tee time 😉 )

Walked/jogged/ran with the dogs – but didn’t even get in 2 miles due to my stupid, screaming knees. Still, there was a dog obedience class at the park yesterday, so the pups had a veritable sniff fest. And I ran enough to work up a bit of a sweat, so…win.

Cleaned up the back yard (how do they poop more than they eat?), cleaned the bird cage (speaking of poop) and gave the dogs a bath.

And now – – – settling in to enjoy Red Eye, the Sunday paper and the yummy iced coffee D made for me before he left for the golf course.

Next; shower, shop for ingredients to make some chocolate ice cream, laundry while making ice cream….

Life is pretty darn good.

UPDATE: Ice cream made and setting up in the freezer, laundry ongoing LOL

    It may not be fair to call it ice cream, since I use non-fat milk, but it is still yummy.

    I prefer to make flavors you can’t normally find in the store, but D likes chocolate. So, chocolate it is this time.

    My wife is a purist so it’s usually vanilla and a batch of the Ben and Jerry’s recipe hot fudge.

    Last time we used liquid nitrogen to make ice cream – it was interesting.

    There is a lot to be said for a good, solid vanilla. The ideal base (or topper) for just about anything else dessert related.

    However, that’s another one of those “I can get it in the store” flavors – I like to experiment. The best, so far, was the pumpkin flavor – but I am looking forward to many new concoctions this summer.
