I take the milk frothing container out of the fridge and stand it next to the machine.
I knock the milk container over, the top comes off, and about half the milk pours out before I can catch it. So, milk over the benchtop, under the ice cream making machine, coffee bean canister and cups.
I pick up the ice cream machine to take it out of the puddle of milk...and knock over the container again. This time it empties on the bench top and floor.
I have a litre of milk distributed over the bench top, the drawers and the floor.
I start the cleanup, with Twiggy's the dog's help (she does the floor).
Finally get all the milk wiped up and the cups, coffee canister, ice cream machine and coffee machine wiped clean...I have about a centimetre of milk in the container, so I pour that into a jug to manually froth it.
But it's not deep enough and when the steam hits it, milk flies everywhere...
This, boys and girls, is what will happen to you when YOU get old.

This 'paper' type milk container decided to slowly leak on me, in my fridge. I guess the bottom just wasn't 'sealed' right at the carton division.
It fucking poured all throughout my fridge. Now, I thought I mopped it all up, until a few weeks later I noticed some yellow at the very bottom of my fridge. I did not notice it had reached the bottom initially, since the plastic on the bottom of my fridge is white also.
Trying to clean up dried milk from a fridge, I discovered, is way more difficult than you may think. Once it dries, you literally have to scrape it out.
I was not fucking impressed that day.

I'll do you one better... A few months ago I buy a two liter carton of milk (contrary to popular belief, you cannot buy "bagged" milk in BC. Either comes in a kind of thin treated 'cardboard-ish' type container, a plastic container, or occasionally a glass bottle).Quote from: "Angry White Male"

Whilst shopping, I put a carton of milk in a carry bag, and continued shopping.
At the checkout, I discovered that the milk carton had ruptured, and the other groceries in the bag were floating in a sea of milk.
The store fixed it all up...but it was a laugh watching a clerk trying to handle a bag of milk, vegetables and chocolate (no idea how that got in there).

I have an ice cream machine lol. It was a Christmas gift long ago. You can make any flavor, but it costs more to make homemade than just buying a half gallon. Its been far back in a cabinet for years since its more trouble than its worth, and Im not suppose to even have ice cream. I had a tiny amount last night but my tummy is kicking my ass today.

But, machines to grind beans and froth milk?
My husband uses the blender to grind beans.

I have a coffee pot, and a grinder for the beans. Fresh ground coffee is very nice. Yesterday I had a cup of coffee for the first time since May, and remembered why I dont drink it anymore lol.
When I use to drink coffee, I liked mine very strong as well. Too funny "spoon stands up in the cup" lol.
Coffee also use to make me horny.

Tell me about ice cream machines....how big are they? How long does it take to make ice cream? How is the quality of the ice cream?Quote from: "Fashionista"
They are about the size of a big food processor. There is a cylinder that you have to put in the freezer for over 24 hours. If I remember, you put ice and salt in the machine, then the frozen cylinder, and you put your ingredients in the cylinder. Once it gets going, it only takes about 20-30 minutes I think. I've made strawberry (the best), oreo, and cookie dough. I think it makes real good ice cream. Good for a night with the family, cause thats about all it makes, a few servings worth. There were never leftovers lol.

Lol, aint that cute.
So many child like things I've thrown out too over the years. Like a cotton candy maker, a snow cone machine (I think I still have that one), and the Queasy Bake oven lol, that was the guy's version. I ruined it one time trying to help him make a personal pizza in it. Another machine I got rid of was a bread maker, I never even used it.

2 others I have I rarely use, but like the food it makes, is a deep fryer and a rotisserie oven.
I think one of my favorite kitchen machines is the Pizzaz pizza cooker. Makes ALL pizzas good with less electricity and less grease. Homemade or frozen.

We have a bunch of crap appliances we don't use. We have a juicer, but we have cartons of juice in the fridge. A George Foreman grill collecting dust. An indoor smoker thing that's still in the box. Having said that, I've recently developed a taste for espresso and I will get an espresso machine.Quote from: "Shen Li"
I still have one of the George Foreman grills, the big one with the dome lid. Its great for if the weather is bad, but I would rather wait a day or plan accordingly so I can grill outside instead lol. Even when it was close to zero degrees or if snow is on the ground lol.

That's the one we have, that was covered in milk.
They work fine.
To make softserve, all you need is 2 cups of fresh cream, 1 cup of milk, a cup of caster sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Total cost about 2 bucks. The aeration created by the process means it makes around a litre of ice cream. Plenty for the kids and grandkids.
BUT you can substitute some of the milk for strawberries, or blueberries, or cherries...add other flavours...you can also make yoghurt and sorbet.
