In my spare time lately I have been working on a homemade ice-cream maker. I got the idea one day while rummaging through the shop where I found a hand drill that I thought could be transformed into ice-cream maker. I tend to get many ideas about all the things I can build but often they are not all feasible.
The ice-cream maker, thankfully, was different. After months of sporadic labor I finally finished it last Friday and I was just in time, for on Sunday one of my friends had a birthday. Perfect chance, I thought, only in my excitement I forgot that I needed cream. Well, I resorted to my only option which was to go and beg the Masai early Sunday morning for three liters of milk. Then I was ready start making the ice-cream. Even as I was making the mixture memories from home came drifting up to my nose; peach, and it smelled good. Then I put it into my makeshift five-gallon bucket/spare gears from a drill ice-cream maker and began to crank. It never froze all the way but compared to the way it tasted that was a small matter. People enjoyed it and I enjoyed giving them a taste of home.
