A dream come true is my fave

February 23, 2010
Abbs and ice cream

While visiting my sister I found out her friend had a pull down ice cream machine in her basement so I promptly invited myself over to experience my dream come to life. While talking about it, all of my dessert obsessed sisters and I made this list:

“I would rather own a soft-serve ice cream machine over…”
- hot tub
- sauna
- soda machine
- pinball machine
- ping pong table
- pool table
- air hockey table

If anybody has $1000 to spot me, I just found one on Craigslist.

    One of those machines would simply make my life complete…except I'm a big frozen yogurt fan so I would fill it with that instead and keep a fully stocked bar of yummy toppings.

    Sorry Mel, if I had that kind of money I'd probably get this for myself… but you'd be welcome to have some!

    That looks, and sounds delicious!

    That is the cutest thing ever found in a basement! I'm so jealous.

    that picture is so cute!

    oh man, would love to have an ice cream machine. although i think i would eat ice cream daily, which would then translate to 100 pounds a year.

    That is SO fun! What a great idea, and such a fun space to entertain in. Personally, I think it would be a great investment ;)

  • On February 23, 2010 , Emily said:

    that would be AMAZING! One of our favorite things about our cruise was the soft serve ice cream whenever we wanted. I can't imagine having one in our basement!

    PS. My very favorite thing about this post was that as I scrolled down on my google reader the ad just after your last line was "1 tip for weight loss- lose inches off your stomach every month by changing 3 things you eat- click here"

    Stop eating ice cream? No way.

  • On February 23, 2010 , Connie said:

    Holy moly, if that's not heaven I don't know what is…

  • On February 23, 2010 , Carissa said:

    haha, love it! I have always wanted a pool table but I think a soft-serve ice cream machine totally beats it!

  • On February 23, 2010 , Cassie said:

    Wow! That is amazing – can imagine you would be THE most popular person around if you had one of those! So many parties for all ages could be had around that machine couldn't they!

    *Try this link, it can't make that much but it's soft serve none the less!

    so amazing!!!

    That is just plain awesome!

  • On February 23, 2010 , Bridget said:

    that is REALLY cool. it looks like an ice cream shoppe.

    but… over a hot tub? i don't know. that's tough.

  • On February 23, 2010 , craftedbylindy said:

    That's the coolest thing ever! Lucky kids! I'd totally be down with the ice cream machine if I wasn't lactose intolerant. LOL. I think I'd have to go with the soda machine instead or maybe the ping pong table. : )

  • On February 23, 2010 , olivia rae said:

    agreed agreed! except it might be the death of me. i have no self control.

  • On February 23, 2010 , Amanda Blair said:

    Honestly, That would be a well spent $1000. I mean if you add up all the times you go out for froyo during the year I bet it's more than $1000. Now can it make vegan froyo?! If so I'm sold!

  • On February 23, 2010 , Laura said:

    incredible! possibly the best idea EVER.

  • On February 23, 2010 , My Favourite Things said:

    Ooh, I for one would love one!! What a cute picture, the girls look absolutely adorable :)

    This is someone's house? Oh wow! I agree with your list, but I would take the hot tub! My dream machine…a la-de-da expresso machine.

    If you make this dream a reality, you are officially the COOLEST.

  • On February 25, 2010 , steph anne said:

    NO WAY! I'd rather own a hot tub. ;)
