do you know any simple ice cream recipies that you can do without an ice cream maker?

Answer
Here's a simple ice cream recipe for ice cream that you can make without an ice cream maker.

I've made it before and my family loves it. If your in the mood for something more exciting than vanilla - just add in some mixings at the very end.

The first thing you have to do is mix up your base.

Here’s the recipe for vanilla ice cream!

1 cup milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 - 2 tsp vanilla extract

After you’ve mixed the ingredients together, put this mixture in the fridge for 1 hour then transfer to the freezer for 30 min.

Beat with an electric mixer. Freeze for 40 min then beat again. Continue freezing for 40 min and then beating - do this cycle 3 times. Then you can allow it to harden up by itself.
If you don't have an ice cream maker - it's important to beat it to allow air into the ice cream mixture to make it soft. The beating also prevents ice crystals from forming!

You can spice up this recipe by adding fun mix-ins like crumbled Oreos for Cookies and Cream or Chocolate Chips and Cookie Dough Balls for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream.

This is the quick version of ice cream making without an ice cream maker! If you want a more detailed description or a different recipe - you can check out

I hope you enjoy your ice cream!
Oh it makes about 1.5 quarts - 10 servings!

when scooping ice cream, how do you make a perfect ball?

Answer
Let you ice cream sit for maybe 5 minutes (barely softened). Dip your metal ice cream scoop in a cup of hot water, and scoop. Dip your scoop back into the cup of hot water before re-scooping.

Best scoop to use is metal, and has a lever that allows you to push the ice cream out ~ in my opinion.

Hope this helps ;)

Android Ice Cream Sandwich or Iphone ios5?

Josh

okay so im looking into switching my phone company but im not sure whether i want to go to AT&T for the iphone5 coming soon, or to a different company with a good Android phone for the new ice cream sandwich update.
my question is, if i get an android now, which has the gingerbread version, will i be able to update it to get the ice cream sandwich version? or will i have to buy a completely different phone that already has it?
and if thats the case, should i just wait until ice cream sandwich comes out?
also, what do you think is the better choice, androids or iphones?

Answer
yes any phone can update
http://www.mydaily-gadget.com/news/7443-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-release-date-features-made-public

as for the phone I recommend the galaxy s2, witch is the best phone out right now, or the s2plus, which will be released later this year.

also I prefer android over apple for the reason that its open-source, that means that the majority of the apps are free, and you get more revolutionary and cutting edge apps. And do things are even only barely available on a jail broken iphone
The android market already has 250000 apps- closing in on apple 500000; some say it will surpass it before the year is over. Also any popular iphone game or game adaptation can be found in the android market for free.
Another great thing about android as that if you dont like something (keyboard, homescreen, etc.) it can easily be swapped without jail-breaking, unlike the iphones one-size-fits-all approach.

Apple lovers that say that the iphone is made of better quality material? They don’t realize that Samsung, an android phone maker, supply’s the screen, processor and memory for apple devices, so android has the advantage here.
The iphone is pretty, but not durable, drop it once- it breaks, all that glass around it? That was honestly a mistake. Android manufactures clearly saw that, and decided to do with something a little more durable.

And the iphones “retina display” is a huge scam. By definition a ‘retina display’ is one where the human eye cannot distinguish individual pixels. But this is determined by several factors; most important being the distance between the screen and your eyes. The iphones retina distance is 12in, move any closer than that- say 7in and it’s no longer a “retina screen” because your eyes can now see the pixels, by that same token, if I move my android phone back, to say 16-17in, amazingly, it becomes a retina screen as well! (feel free to google this)

Also apple never invents anything, all they do is steal old technology, give it a fresh coat of paint and mass advertise it as “magical” and “innovating”, thus fooling the mass of the population into believing that apple offers cutting edge technology, that in fact has been around for quite a few years.
So instead of innovating, apple actually hinders technology- after 4 years they still have low-power single core phones, while android, an example of technology in overdrive, has rumored that, after their second year, the release of quad core phones that will surpass even some desktop computers in shear processing power.

Apple should now feel pretty worried; android has passed it in market share
http://www.businessinsider.com/android-iphone-market-share-2011-4

Then apple panics and sues
http://www.dailytech.com/Google+ExCEO+Apple+Doesnt+Innovate+They+Sue/article22190.htm
The funny thing is that apple can’t sue for being the first touchscreen or tablet, because they weren’t,(Nokia fist touch screen, “archos” first tablet) so instead they sue for much more relevant things like, “the rounded icon corners” and “having a flat screen” or “the square shape of the phone”……..

To top it all, if you’ve seen apples 2011 presentation, they blatantly copied over five "new" features that were previously on android.
http://androidandme.com/2011/06/news/five-features-in-ios-5-that-show-how-apple-is-now-playing-catch-up-to-google/

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/06/apple-introduces-ios5-with-notifications-ota-updates-and-tabbed-browsing-android-users-giggle-at-their-late-arrival/
1. Notification bar
2. Twitter integration
3. No need to connect to PC to sync
4. Launch apps from lock screen
5. Tabbed browsing

And not only are they copies, but apple didn’t even bother to improve, or change some of them in any way- some even have LESS features than their android counter parts, it’s basically a cheap imitation with the ever-popular iphone skin.
According to Steve jobs, these "revolutionary" new technologies that android users had since 2007 will be available on IOS5, and it would not surprise me to see some more android features from 2008 on IOS6.But the truly sad part is that due to apples marketing, in a few months, apple lovers will really think that apple invented those features and call android the copycats…yet again.

Though I suppose Google should’ve seen it coming….

Better yet - check out this one:

I'm the engineer behind the pneumatic system in this machine.
I'm not about to explain how it works, but there are about 40 motors, and 500 feet of tubing that allow it to make hard scoop ice cream on the spot from the raw ingredients - takes about 40 seconds, and it's SO much better than soft serve.
