Homemade Ice Cream By Hand in 6 Easy Steps!

I know that it is December and that you're probably not in the mood for ice cream, but I'm putting a post on here about making your own ice cream. ( You can also save this recipe for summer!)  All you need is the following. ( You are the ice cream machine). I am demonstrating this with hot chocolate mix, but you can use whatever flavor you want.
. 1 gallon bag ( Ziploc)
. 1 half gallon bag ( Ziploc)
. 3 cups crushed ice
. 1/3 cup rock salt ( the kind you use for regular homemade ice cream)
. 1 packet of hot chocolate powder packet ( or whatever flavored powder is your priority)
. 1/2 cup Half and Half milk ( you can find them in cafes)
. 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
That's it! So easy, right? So now, to make it.
Step 1#. First, dump your hot chocolate packet into a half gallon bag. ( Use it all!) This is the time to add in 1 tablespoon sugar.
Step 2#. Secondly, add your 1/2 cup Half and Half into the half gallon bag.
Step 3#. Set aside your half gallon bag, and grab your gallon bag! Pour your 3 cups of crushed ice into it. Then, pour your 1/3 cup rock salt in the bag, and zip it up.
Step 4#. So now, you take your half gallon bag and put it inside your gallon bag. Notice that the
" inside" word is in bold because this is a very important step.
Step 5#. After putting your chocolate milk bag into the gallon bag filled with ice and rock salt, play the song  "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift and jump up and down, vigorously shaking your bag until your chocolate milk mixture feels tough and hard. This will feel like ice cream in a bag!
( Bingo, that's exactly what it is!)
Step 6#. Eat your ice cream! This is essential to the process of making ice cream, and plus, who doesn't want to eat it?

Lastly, you could also put it in the freezer for later. It will keep like normal ice cream, maybe if you transfer it into a cup with a lid, or container. Thank you for reading this post and enjoy your ice cream!!!

LAKE CHABOT, WHERE THE MOUNTAIN LIONS ROAM!

On the 7th and 8th of April 2018, my family went on a vacation to a camping spot we all know and love. Anthony Chabot is a beautiful eucalyptus forest encased by gorgeous rolling green hills. We call the campground: Lake Chabot, because there is a amazing green lake that laps the land below the campground. Yet, the lake is diagnosed with a sort of lethal allergy that prohibits swimming. Too bad, you might be thinking. But, its not that bad. There is hikes that loop about the campground, and being close to Tilden Little Farm, we went there and hiked a majestic hike called Sylvan Trail, (we suffered much gobs of mud from the rain) that led us to an stony overlook that covered all of San Francisco, the Golden Gate, and more! Now, you might know what to do when you see a mountain lion sashaying across your path in he wilderness. You make yourself as loud and big as possible (even if it includes taking your shirt off) and throwing items at it until it runs away. This probably won...

Double Shot and Giant Dipper and Typhoon, OH MY!

Every year, around the middle of summer, we depart for the quiet campground of Butano, and then the noisy beach house in Santa Cruz to end up at the world-famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk! Our camping trip usually consists of hiking, biking, and playing! But the boardwalk is the HIT of it all! This first picture is of me, my sister, my cousin, and my uncle on the Double Shot, an 125 feet tall free fall! Wheeeee! Next, my papa always lets us get a souvenir, which this time mine was Sushi Socks from a wharf shop!  On the last day, we went to some small but mighty tide pools. We found two sea stars, one immense, one so wee, it was barely the size of your palm! So much to do, so little time to spend with cousins!

Diggin's Day!

  We went to Diggin's Day in Columbia, 2017, and I thought it was the most fun I ever had. We "traveled through time" until the 1849's, and then we were presented with a name tag, and 3 eagles, (gold coins). We had a group leader, me and my mom and brother and sister, my best friend's family, and our landlord and her kids. First of all, we were led with our group leader to various places, including a blacksmith, bakery, school house, and gold mine. After the bell rang for the end of the school house tour, we were allowed to stroll around the "tent town". There was about five different people sitting/standing in front of their stores, shouting to any random person walking by, " STEP RIGHT OVER HERE FOLKS, COME AND GET YOUR ICE COLD SARSAPARILLA!" Since we were in the 1849's; there was more of an accent around, so it sounded more like this: "STEP RIGHT OVER HERE FOLKS, COME A GET YO IZE COL' SAZPARILA!" I did not get a sarsa...
