Name change
In a previous post, I published the recipe to our version of homemade chocolate ice cream, dubbed "Better Than a Wendy's Frosty." As of this past weekend, I have been informed that we must change the name...
... Award Winning Better Than a Wendy's Frosty!
(Note the addition of the exclamation point. Oh - and the fact that it won an award!)
Last weekend, my wife and I entered our home churned goodness in Miss Mary's Ice Cream Crankin'. This is an event put on by the Drake House, a sort of halfway house for homeless mothers and their children. Our church has been involved with the women there for a few years now, and this has always been one of their biggest fundraisers.
Only one problem with the day - it rained. Hard rain. Scaring away most of the people who were eating ice cream rain. Nevertheless, we knew we had something good going when our's was the first churn emptied. However, no awards were announced, as most people had fled to their cars once the lightning started popping.
Fast forward to this past Sunday morning, and a fellow Sunday School member greets us with "Congratulations!" I looked at my wife - "Hmmm... is there something I should know?!?" - but then thought better of once I saw her confused glance. Taking our seat, we opened the bulletin to see the announcement: The Drake House had raised $35,000 at the Crankin'... and we won for the best chocolate!!!
