Now THIS is Summer

Family Fun Magazine awarded this their "Most Active Recipe."  I'd also add: fun, fast, easy, silly, exciting, very little clean-up, and YUMMY.

Combine 2 Tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 cup half and half in pint-size ziplock bag and seal it tightly.
Place 1/2 cup coarse salt (table salt worked fine) in a gallon-size ziplock, then fill it halfway with ice cubes. 
Place smaller bag inside as well, and seal.
Shake the bags until the ice cream mixture hardens, about 5 minutes.


Did it work?!
Because I have my spoon, and I'm ready.

We saved ourselves the trouble of washing dishes and ate right out of the bags.  We're doing it again tomorrow.
