[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 584568, member: 15805"] When I was a kid, we always went to Gramma & Grampas for an autumn family gathering. One thing that was a given was the freezer in the basement. Back then, there were no electric ones. So the rule was: If you wanted ice cream, you either took your turn at the crank, or you went out to the garden and picked strawberries. Most of my cousins immediately headed outside, leaving the adults to do 'the hard labor'. I always wanted to turn the crank because I hoped I would be the one cranking when the mix started to harden. I wanted to be 'the hero' by calling out, "Hey! It's ready!" But alas, that never happened. Sure didn't diminish the taste of the ice cream and fresh-picked strawberries, though. As for the party flop, it probably wouldn't have mattered if it were a hand-crank machine. They simply wanted something that was rock-hard and full of artificial flavors. [/QUOTE]
