Oh I so love that story about your daddy and cherries. What a great story. You do this so very well.

You would have thought it was a hoot to see him hoarding a box of cherries or hiding the maraschino cherries so we couldn’t find them. We could always sniff them out. Thanks for visiting, Sandee.~skt

Wonderful story. Makes me think of my dad, who always let us have the cherries that garnished his Manhattans — after washing them off in a glass of water!

Dang, why did he have to wash them off first? Was a tiny bit of alcohol going to turn your life around ?~skt

Here it is! I posted the recipe on my blog. It’s a family favorite and its so easy to make, plus it doesn’t heat up the house in the summer time. Now I’m craving it – I may just have to run out and get the fixings to make it.

It sounds delicious and I can’t wait to give it a try. OHHH! I’m gonna be too big for my britches ~skt

Ahhhh..maraschino cherries!

They remind me of my favourite comedy film of all time – Some Like it Hot and in particular when the ‘girls’ are on the train and Sugar (Ms Monroe) is having a party and asks a sleepy Tony Curtis for Maraschino cherries!

Jack Lemmon spends the whole time chanting under his breath ‘I’m a girl, oh I’m a girl…’to avoid the pneumatic bosom of ‘Sugar’!

Hilarious! Sorry if you’ve never seen the film as you will not have a single clue what I am talking about. Lol!
Lovely post as normal Shelly!

Thank you, Darlin’. Sorry to talk about food. Especially since now I’m eating tons of the ice cream. There may not be any left for the party tonight LOL!

I don’t understand the milk amount, but that’s the only thing I can see that you could make skim.

I have one of those ice cream makers (freezers) and haven’t used it in years, maybe I will play with it this week while on vacation.

The cherry story was cute and what a resourceful woman your mom was!

Yep, Momma used all her resources. I’ve almost got this cherry ice cream made…then I saw a recipe for Butterfinger ice cream. Aw, mannn~skt

I can’t say I was a huge fan of cherries, but they sure sound delicious the way you describe them!! Your momma sounds like one clever woman I like that in a person.

We have one of those ice cream makers, too. Unfortunately, I bought one where you have to freeze the container first and I just can’t even seem to fit it in the freezer. We’ve used it a couple of times, though!

The hubby made this tangerine sherbet once that was delicious!!!

Now, tangerine sherbet sounds good, too. I got a smaller freezer, and it’s a bit of a pain because you have to make two batches. But, it fits in the freezer ~skt

Love the story and the way it was conveyed. I must confess that I love Maraschino cherries and fresh ones…who doesn’t? Fortunately there is a cherry tree about 20 feet away so I just hope the birds don’t get them first but it is nice to just go and pick them fresh off the tree.

Thanks for the kudos, Colin. I like fresh cherries, too and envy the cherry tree. If it were here, the squirrels would take one bite out of each one and then throw the rest on the ground to rot. I appreciate your visit!~skt
