How to make a slush without driving 45mins...

Today I'm feeling a little down. Not quite sure what my problem is. Might be the lack of sun after being so spoiled this last week. Missing back home, my old friends, the sweltering heat there. I dunno.


So what does one do to snap out of it? Create 'back home'.


Back home there is a store in Stellarton called SKOKES. In my mind they are known for two things Coke Slush and their fresh dinner rolls. As a wee lass it was there where I tasted my first drop of liquid heaven. Coke Slush. My vice.


When I lived in Calgary there were a few things I was addicted to....coke slurpies and large boxes of Glosette raisins from the 7-11, Red Devil BBQ, Chili's and Chapters.


When I go to a movie there is hell to pay when they don't have coke slushies...because thats the only place I have found them in a 45 min radius.


People YOU TOO can enjoy my favorite non-boozy beverage and I will tell you how.


First thing you need is a coke...pepsi if you are THAT type. lol

Secondly an ice cream maker...if you don't have one, seriously, shake your head!! :P I have one of the lower priced ones and I love it. Its only one step above the old hand crank ones but I can't go that...too primitive and this cat is too lazy.
Thats it.....ohhh and a spatula, mine broke so I used a spoon and scraped the heck out of my bowl but it makes it more shabby chic in my opinion...and I'm allllll about style. :/

Shan hint #1: always store your maker bowl in the freezer so when the mood strikes you, ya wont have to wait hours to satisfy a craving.



OK here we go, its rough, so take notes:


Place ice cream maker on counter, place already frozen bowl in maker and plug that sucka in.

Shan hint #2: Do not lick said bowl to see if it is cold enough...you don't want to end up a fool a'la A Christmas Story.

Take cola out of fridge and turn on machine and pour contents in and let 'er rip!



Wait about 5-10 mins (according to machine) and scrape and pour slushy greatness into desired cup.


Shan Hint #3: Resist the urge to lick leftovers out of bowl...please refer to hint #2 as to why.

Thats it....there ya go.....Coke Slush anytime you want...I'm going to try Root Beer next, even this old dog needs a new trick. Hmmmm lime crush with tequi.....errrr....nevermind.  Easy huh....what did you expect....I'm lazy. :D





PS in no way do I claim this to be an original thought or idea of my own...I just figured it would work and it does! :) Enjoy your summa.
Toodles.
