Rebecca and Kate were busy making music today with their new guitars. With the weather so hot and humid it was hard to figure out something to do that wasn’t going to make me melt. While Kate was napping, I had Rebecca help me make some guitars out of some scrap pine and mahogany. I used a large diameter bit on my drill press to make the center hole and my Dozuki saw to cut notches in the bridge for the “guitar strings” — aka rubber bands. After Kate woke up from her nap, they both decided to rock the house down. I decided to take some pictures of Rebecca and Kate playing the guitar.
Rebecca and I decided to make some ice cream in order to beat the heat as well. We sat down and reviewed the different recipes from Nigela Lawson’s Forever Summer cookbook and decided on one. We took a little trip to the grocery store to get some ingredients for raspberry ice cream. Rebecca did a great job — except that she ran from the room when the beaters were whisking the ingredients together. The ice cream came out great and was quite delicious. There’s nothing like homemade ice cream!
