What could be better?

I'ts summertime, ya'll. And it feels good. The parental unit and I are headed to a July 4th soiree this evening and we are to bring some side dishes. Now, I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Blands don't just do things, we overdo them. (Overachieving runs in our blood...) So, we've decided to each makes something to take. Here's the game plan:

Mom: tabbuli

Dad: fried green tomatoes (from the garden)

Me: french vanilla bean ice cream

So, that's the plan!

So, what's inside the pot?

We made our own refrigerator to cool the ice cream. I can't wait to try it!

Happy Independence Day ya'll (am I channeling Paula Dean or what?)!
