And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I'm going back about 50 years. Had an ice cream social at the park. Everyone brought their ice cream freezer in which they had their family's favorite flavor of ice cream. The nice family who had just moved to our small town from New York City brought the boxed stuff from Safeway. They didn't know yet.
summer in rural NC always had one day with hand cranked ice cream- a trip to the ice house in Ahoskie to get a block to be ice-picked was in order early in the day. the place smelled of ammonia and had wet sawdust strewn on the floor.
I remember when the ice cream containers were half chocolate, half vanilla Dixie Cups that came with a picture of Joe DiMaggio on the lid and a wooden spoon.
Haven’t seen a boxed ice cream in many years…
ReplyDeleteI remember my Dad scraping out the box because he liked the wax flavor from the sides. Then the box made good kindling
ReplyDeleteand you got an actual half gallon
ReplyDeleteThat is true, a half gallon. Now we get 1.5qt for $5 to $8.

ReplyDeleteThe hand-cranked ones were always best. Take the most energetic or obnoxious of the youngsters and put them to work!

ReplyDeleteI'm old enough to remember when I used to come in and box too.
ReplyDeleteNow it's just hand cranked, self serve.

And our milk comes in bags. Like God intended.
DeleteInteresting. Hadn't seen that before. Thought for a moment that was an udder joke. "You know how that Aggie died drinking milk? The cow fell on him "
DeleteOK now do Ready Kilowatt.
