optimistic thoughts: 2025 montmorency cherry tree post bloom @sharpridgehomestead

Uploaded April 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

doesn't seem like the montmorency cherries got hurt by those most recent 2 overnight frosts while they were in bloom, I see many cherries forming on the smaller tree (although the tree is actually 6 years old, its on dwarf root stock so might be about as tall as it will ever get)

$mass gainer gym rat fitness junkie healthy high protein high fat ice cream no additives I have an entire playlist of churn style and ninja creami ice cream recipes. But I mostly use the ninja creami now and only make high protein high fat ice creams that are healthier than store bought (because I have to eat so many calories just to maintain my current weight and eating solid foods is almost impossible to eat 4500 - 6000 calories a day - and btw, I only weight 130 lbs post-cancer pre-cancer I weighed around 165-170 and was pure muscle). I dont know why I cant gain weight (although I can lose weight easily) and the drs dont know either - its like my body is stuck in uber high burn calorie mode even if I am sedentary. If you have any ideas how to break this cycle, nothing I have done has worked for 5 years so Id love to hear your ideas .... let me know in the comments. So the ninja creami just seems faster for me, it takes less time to dump and mix and pour into containers than the churn style ice cream maker. Also, with the churn style maker I can only create 1 gallon at a time and well ... I could eat that in a day easily so that means I would have to make ice cream every day using churn style ... again, the ninja creami is just faster, more convenient, and saves me time (and money) You can make ice cream for the fraction of the cost of store bought so the machine you go with will pay for itself very quickly. I figured up cost in many of the recipes I use but Id estimate this very basic recipe below without any of the options is less than $1 a pint. So I have fallen in love with the ninja creami - I make ice cream in bulk, 8 pints at a time and that only lasts me 2-4 days - I can eat 2-4 pints a day easily (at around 800 calories a pint, depending on the recipe and flavor). Here is a really simple basic recipe with practically no additives for 8 pints: Recipe: 12 cups hot water 3 cups powdered milk (i use great value but you can use nido or similar) Optional: 1 cup granulated sugar or 1 cup honey 12 x 30gr scoops protein powder or mass gainer protein Optional: depending on flavor, you can add 8 tablespoons vanilla extract Optional depending on flavor, you can add 1 cup melted butter or 1 cup cottage cheese, or 1 cup cream cheese - this makes your ice cream more creamie but I hardly ever use this now, I did in the churn style maker all the time though Optional: if you use vanilla protein then add the butter, add some pecans as mixins and then you basically just created a vanilla butter pecan ice cream that is to die for mix well, pour into creami containers, freeze, enjoy Ice cream playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sivTsWmMCKQ&list=PLtuxCWv2q-8WxgqmCRM23kAQfBdbRdLhb They have different models: ninja creami: https://amzn.to/44mcTdT ninja creami: https://amzn.to/449z4oV (the one I have) extra ninja creami cups for the model I have (off brand, cheaper, just as good): https://amzn.to/4lxDGL9 churn style I own: https://amzn.to/3TQ2CSl kitchenaid mixer ice cream attachment I also own: https://amzn.to/4l6Ri07 If you dont have a kitchenaid mixer, get with the program and get one ... I dont know a single homesteader that doesnt own one and there is a reason ... they are simply the best and save you a huge amount of money buying the individual attachments you need over buying multiple individual powered devices. Kitchenaid has several models to chose from, I personally use an 8 qt commercial: https://amzn.to/44blSNB but there are also the 3.5 QT https://amzn.to/3CmLtHf and the 5 QT artisan https://amzn.to/3X26DE5 along with the 7 QT pro-line https://amzn.to/45QFyrD immersion blenders help with mixing (game changer in my kitchen) but just a wire whisk works too: https://amzn.to/4nKEKh1$
