    Hi folks. I have to make this ICE CREAM SUNDAYS snappy. Things to do, places to go, people to see. You know me, I'm a mover and shaker. *falls down laughing*

    Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream by Cravings of a Lunatic

    So I made some pumpkin ice cream. Here's the kicker. I don't like pumpkin. At all. Not even a little bit. Not even if I hold my nose and try to eat it. Yah, that's right. I, your Lunatic, your bestie, your trusted friend, HATE pumpkin. There I said it. It's out there. *waits for the angry mob*

    Okay moving on now. Here's a quick recap for those who now have a migraine.

    1- I made pumpkin ice cream!
    2- I hate pumpkin!
    3- I like pepsi!
    4- I hate coke!

    That about sums it up. Now on to the recipe....of the ice cream...that I made....that I hate....but made for the boys.....my boys...not just random boys....cuz that'd be weird....and wrong...and odd...clarifying...my boys....and for the fans.....even the coke drinking ones...cuz that's how I roll....I'm a giver....and a pepsi drinker....yup.....that's about all there is to say about that.

    I actually did taste it and I wasn't horrified. Pumpkin is tolerable. I still don't LOVE it. But hey, it's progress right. B tasted it and gave it a "eaten in 3 seconds flat" rating. Which is a very high rating. Hubs has yet to try it. He's at work. And he chuffed me off today so he may not get any anyway.

    Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream by Cravings of a Lunatic

    See that's what happens when you chuff me off. No ice cream for you!

    Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream by Cravings of a Lunatic

    Oh who am I kidding, he'll still get a bowl. But it won't be this big bowl. It'll be a eeny weeny little teeny bowl. And no cinnamon stick. Only non chuffers get those.

    Alrighty roo folks. I am outta here, later alligator, in awhile crocodile. I am not posting other links this week due to:

    I am lazy!
    I am tired!
    I am chuffed!

    We'll see what kind of mood I'm in next week and go from there. It's any one's guess at this point. Later folks, even you non-pepsi, coke drinking crazies.

    Toodles and smoochies. xx

      It looks delicious! You have enough yummy spices that I believe I CAN omit the cinnamon and enjoy the taste of all that delicious pumpkin....while drinking a coke!

      This sounds really good. I am surprised you didn't carve little faces on every scoop of ice cream. 🙂 I was thinking it would make a good ice cream pie and using crushed spice cookies for the crust.

      Haha! It was so sweet of you to make this ice cream despite your hatred of ice cream! I love pumpkin anything. I also love Pepsi (except I have to admit that I like coke zero...does that make me a traitor??)!

      I feel the same way about mushrooms. I occasionally try to like them, but no such luck yet. This however, is right up my ally! With a Coke to go with it even better! Wink.

      Erhmmm... moving on. I love Pumpkin (sorry) and pumpkin ice cream is something I wait for in the stores all year so I can definitely see this getting made in my ice cream maker. YAY~!!

      This looks like it has lots of bold flavors. I love it. Pumpkin ice cream is always the special treat for me on the holidays. I don't like pumpkin pie.
