Ice cream and other foods

13 years ago

Hubs likes to have a dish of ice cream every evening. He only wants New York vanilla. I've mentioned that I could buy him some flavors of ice cream, for a change, but no, only vanilla. Granted he has Raspberries or chocolate syrup on it, most days. Now, I'm not a big ice cream lover, but a small dish of Maple Nut every once in a big while is OK, but I can't think of any food I would like to eat every day. Is there a food you could/do eat every day? Dottie

When my father went through chemo he lost weight as if it were falling off him. The chemo dulled his appetite to the point that he didn't want to eat anything. I'd imagine George is experiencing something like this: He probably just can't bring himself to eat right now. It has nothing to do with what his priorities "ought" to be. If I were Leone (hi, Leone!) I'd be "into" anything that helps George put the weight back on. Those sorbet and ice cream experiments sound fab to me. Wouldn't mind having a sample of all of them right now! Karen

Can you make ice cream without an ice cream maker?

You can also do it the really old fashioned way -- the same method that has long been used to make sorbet. Just pour the mixture into a baking dish, and set that into your freezer. Also, you will need a heavy glass or metal bowl, an electric hand mixer, and a bowl of ice big enough for the first bowl to sit in. Put the heavy glass or metal bowl and the beater attachments for the hand mixer into the freezer at the same time as the ice cream mix to chill them. When its almost but not quite fully frozen, use a fork to break it up into small lumps about the size of a nickle or a little less. Then put it back into the freezer about 10 minutes to set up a bit again. Now, working as quickly as possible, take the pre-chilled heavy bowl out of the freezer,and set it in a bath of ice cubes in the 2nd larger bowl. Quickly transfer the ice cream mixture into the chilled bowl, and beat it as much as possible with the electric mixer ONLY until the lumps are broken up, and it begins to whip up a bit. Then, back into the freezer for another 15 to 30 minutes, until its not at all "melty" but still a little soft. Repeat the beating/whipping process several times -- the idea is to whip as much air into it to make it creamy and fluffy as possible, without melting it too much at each whipping. The chilled bowl, the ice bath, and the chilled beaters help, but beware that the very act of beating it creates friction between the bowl and beaters, which makes heat, so this process is a balancing act between beating in air and melting the ice cream. Done right, which isn't at all hard to do with just a little practice, this method does work, albeit it will never be quite as fluffy as commercial ice creams you are used to, which not only incorporate a large volume of air into the mix using specialized equipment, but which also generally use gums and stabilizers which prevents the product from melting and turning liquid as fast as a pure, cream and milk only product will. Good luck.

claire, i'm so glad you liked that recipe, it's one of my absolute favorites. I love pear and I love maple, so it's a natural for me, I think ice cream could only make it better. The spoons have me kind of intrigued, I've never seen a special ice cream spoon. OK, post pictures! Annie

LOOKING for: ice-cream w/o whipping cream or scmilk?

What a great idea! It's frozen yogurt but with lots of good fruit in it. The yogurt would give it the body it needs without the fat. I think you could try fat-fee sour cream, too: that might be less tangy than the yogurt. Fat free sour cream, since it's made with skim milk, is thickened with something else, probably carageenan. Any fat-free half and half would also have a substitute thickener.Some thickeners hold up to freezing and some don't. There's a lot of difference between brands in how sour they are: you might have to try a few. I use half fat-free yogurt and half fat-free sour cream for many sauces. I tried making ice milk with plain milk, and it didn't work out. Not enough body. I meant to repeat it using something thicker, but haven't yet. I've been thinking about fat-free evaporated milk; that would have more body to it. Let us know what you try and what works!

My daughter is a vanilla-only person too. (But I don't think she eats it every day -- just every time!)

I have coffee, and water, everyday, but that probably doesn't count.

There are foods I *could" eat every day, but don't. A few that come to mind are: peanut butter, cheese, ice-cream, chocolate of some sort.

I don't think there is anything that I eat every day. I mix up the variety of the basic food groups.

I once vacationed for a week at a place in the Adirondacks that included a continental breakfast: cold cereal, muffins, and bananas. The same kind, each day. Imagine our surprise when one day mixed-fruit was added to the "menu".

Now I am even hungrier. Is it lunch time yet?

For many years, at least 20, every breakfast I ate 3 slices of melba toast with a slice of cheese on it. It wasn't that I loved it that much but it was fast, easy and fit into my diet.

My dad always took a thuringer (like cotto salami) sandwich to work everyday for over 20 years. I don't think he eats that anymore now that he's retired.

I do eat Ezekial bread every morning for breakfast and have been doing so for over 2 years. I also almost always have a banana with yogurt.

Oh, yes! Only Thomas's English Muffins! Not every day though, and sometimes I put jam on one half.

My grandmother had the same breakfast every morning: One soft-boiled egg on toast and a dish of plain oatmeal. (Guess the eggs didn't harm her; she lived into her 90's.)

If I ate a dish of ice cream every night I'd be big as a house! We only like Ben & Jerry's -- or Roselani's in Hawaii. Starbuck's is pretty good -- just the coffee-based flavors for me. Many brands of ice cream are only sweet -- little flavor.

The only thing I absolutely have every day is coffee. If I could eat anything I wanted every day it would be Super Target's (Archer Farms) Monster Cookies!

Oh Thuringer! I grew up eating that stuff (German-American family) along with all sorts of other fatty sausages and braunschweiger (liverwurst) sandwiches. Can't touch any of that now; it makes me ill to even think of it! The closest I come is occasional turkey sausage in my red beans and rice.

I eat the same breakfast about 360 days of the year. I like it. It fills me up nicely. I can ride a bike for MILES after I eat it.

My own muesli mix.

2 pieces of Dove dark Promises
1 scoop of ice cream (peach, vanilla, strawberry) Even better if it's home made.

I'm with Glenda.I could eat a pimento cheese sandwich on toasted wheat bread every day and do when I have it.I make my own pimento cheese.Much better than store bought and from what I have seen of the prices in the stores,much cheaper! My DH loves it and would eat it every day too.That reminds me,I just bought cheese to make it a couple of days ago.Need to do that tomorrow.
I could also eat frozen blueberries topped with heavy cream and splenda every day!Like eating ice cream.MMMMM...think I go fix me a bowl right now.

I eat ice cream every day, too. 95% of the time it is vanilla...occasionally vanilla-based, like cookies and cream. I could lose 20 pounds easily if I could give it up. I am also very choosy about which brands I will eat. Don't like the ones that are air-y.

There's nothing that I eat every day. Hamburger (good, fresh hamburger) is something I could probably eat every day though.

Often I go in streaks. I like something and eat it often, then get a little tired of it. Although part of it is, for instance making a pan of lasagna I'll have the same thing for days.

I'll also go in streaks where I eat a lot of eggs for breakfast. But that's only for a certain length of time.

My breakfast ritual is peach yogurt mixed with frozen blueberries and raspberries.

I'm with cynic. I eat something in spurts and then switch to a new thing. I eat cereal a lot for breakfast during the week but mix it up sometimes with an egg.

I probably could eat ice cream every day, but try not to!
