Making Ice Cream

August 12, 2024

One item on my "Mission 31-31" list is to make my own ice cream.

I have a massive sweet tooth. But as someone who doesn't enjoy cooking or baking, I never wanted to make dessert myself. Ice cream, however, is fairly simple. So I decided to give it a try.

To make ice cream, you need sweetened condensed milk.

It comes in a can.

Sadly, not one with a soda-can-like pull tab. No, you need an old fashion can opener for it.

And I can't remember the last time I used a can opener. Was probably 4-5 years ago.

I like to think that using a can opener is easy. That it's a skill everyone should have.

Yet, I struggled to do it.

It took me nearly five minutes to figure out the damn thing.

I'm guilty of having to Google "how to use a can opener".
