Electric Ice Cream Makers – 8 Compelling Reasons To Make Your Own Ice Cream

September 5th, 2009 No comments

I get asked a lot of questions about making my own ice cream. Besides the fact that I love it and enjoy it, I have found over the years that there are many more reasons that I stopped buying and started making ice cream. Here they are. I hope I can help turn you into an ice cream maker.

1. Ok I love ice cream and so do my children. As a family we eat a lot of it even in winter. It’s costly to buy regularly. It all adds up. When I make it, I make it cheaper, so it saves on the food bill.

2. By making my own ice cream, I reduce my food miles. (embarrassingly my kids told me about that one). My children come home from school asking me what am I doing to save their planet. Well, making ice cream means that I am not using fancy packaging, tubs and useless cartons that it comes in, and I have not paid for it to travel from several hundred miles away to my door. Everything I put in my ice cream, I get locally. You can too.

3. I get to know exactly what is going into my kids mouths. There are no additives or preservative in my home made dessert. Only natural goodness no artificial rubbish.

4. I know so many people, my kids friends especially with allergies of all sorts. I can leave them out of the ice cream, so everyone get to enjoy it.

5. I bring my ice cream over to friends, or families houses for dinner. It beats spending a fortune on flowers. I bring along the dessert which we can all enjoy together.

6. I get the kids involved too. They love it and sometimes bring their friends over especially to make ice cream. It’s great on a rainy day when they are hanging around the house looking for trouble.

7. I can get the kids to eat more fruit too, by serving it on top or beside the ice cream. Add some good nuts, and maybe some oats sometimes and they don’t even know they are eating something really good for them. Result!

8. I try most of the time to make it lower fat than you buy. I use half and half or light cream instead. Great for the kids, but helps me and my diet out too.

There it is. My ice cream tastes great. Looks wonderful and costs less. I hope you start making yours too. It really is so much more rewarding than buying it.

Self Storage – Putting Your Valuables in Good Hands

September 5th, 2009 No comments

A wish to buy new items for the house without having sufficient empty space in the home to keep them is a scenario that most people confront. To make space, residents may wish to clear their home of items that cause clutter, but may find themselves reluctant to sell them off due to their future utility. Such situations can be effectively handled by using the self storage service.

In the self storage service, customers rent some storage space for a limited period of time to keep important items they do not want to dispose off.

There are things in every home that occupy a lot of space, but they may be sentimentally too precious to be sold off for a pittance just to bring in new items in the house. There are other items too which do not have any use in the present but later they might have some utility. You thus find yourself having to check your wish for new items just because you don’t know what to do with the old but precious things that your rooms are crowded with. Self storage companies are doing great business because of these common situations.

You can bank upon self storage companies to be custodians of your valuables, as their units are fitted with foolproof security systems. Sophisticated devices like security cameras and door alarms ensure that no crook can find his way inside a storage cellar to rob your items.

Paintings and art items require special care besides security so that time doesn’t steal away their beauty. They must be kept in atmospheric conditions having a proper balance of temperature and humidity. Therefore, most self storage facilities have climate control technology to preserve the exact state of such articles. Even wooden items and fabrics of all kinds and makes can be safely stored inside these units. In fact, proper pest-control measures are also taken to disinfect these units at regular intervals.

With self-storage services by your side, you can be certain that your items are stored away securely and in great condition so that they remain in perfect condition even after years of storage.
