So Mark and I got this stellar ice cream recipe from his sister when we went to Florida last weekend. It is especially amazing because you do not need an ice cream maker for this recipe! It is fabulous. You melt some chocolate with sweetened condensed milk and a little vanilla and salt and then fold it into whipped up heavy whipping cream. The texture is like a premium ice cream. It is very rich and smooth and awesome tasting. And it doesn't require an ice cream maker!!!
The best part of the whole experience today was walking the 3 mile round trip to the grocery store in the unseasonably cool and comfortable weather. We held hands and talked about all sorts of things like politics and how we want to raise our children someday. We bought the ingredients, walked home, and made the ice cream.
After that we went to see Harry Potter 7.2 and it was AWESOME. We ate dinner with some friends at 5 guys then hopped over to the movie. When the awesomeness that was HP 7.2 was over we came home and enjoyed our fine ice cream before Mark when to the ED to shadow a doctor there. What a great day this has been.
Watching HP 7.2 was a little emotional. I started reading HP when I was 13 years old. This whole saga has been with me for the last 11 years. And it is over. But not really. Because the books are immortalized in print and the movies in film. It was bittersweet and I am so glad I got to be in the Potter generation and grow up with Harry Potter.
Life has been good to me. Mark Bailey. Harry Potter. Chocolate Ice Cream. Can it get any better?

So appropriate that you made the ice cream on National Ice Cream Day! Wish we could have tried it with you!
