Supplies there

[sweetmmeblue.livejournal.com]

K would like to make a particular ice cream for the kids and he's wondering what supplies he will need to bring. His is fairly simple. The ones I'm worried about are eggs and mint extract. I'm assuming that there will be milk/cream/sugar there? Having never done this I don't know how much of our own stuff to bring. Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks.

FTR, the "should" was to account for possibilities like a bear stealing the extracts, someone accidentally setting them on fire, etc. I didn't want to be overly definite about something not in my control. :)

I have two flavors fully mixed at this point even though I know I could do the work there because it's easier to do at home where I have the technology. (I wonder how long it'll be before someone is willing to bring their VitaMix or BlendTec to Baitcon.)

I find that part of the fun is doing some of the work there - but I hear you. I try to do flavors that can be done with only a few simple equipment things that I can pack to take with me, and flavors that are born after the kids go to bed while hanging out feeling crazy in the ice cream prep area.

I agree with this, too! :D

I've found it a bit more stressful to try to do *all* the work on-site with a toddler to wrangle, though. Last year I felt like I was working through all of my "free" time when I should have done at least a bit of relaxing.
