Earlier this month residents of Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio made homemade ice cream. They sent the Icon the recipe. They even provided some photos. Here goes:

Try it yourself with this fun and simple recipe:

• In a pint or quart-size zip-lock bag, mix ½ cup of milk or half and half, 1 Tbsp. sugar, and ¼ tsp. vanilla.  Tightly zip the bag.

• In a gallon-size zip-lock bag, mix 6 Tbsp. rock salt (or ice cream salt) with ice cubes that fill up half of the bag.

• Place the small bag in the large bag and zip it closed.

It's not exactly a surprise, but now we have data. According to the Pew Research Center's biennial media attitudes survey, the internet is now the leading source of national and international news for Americans under age 50.

The Bluffton Icon and Ada Icon were accepted into membership this week of LION Publishers (Local Independent Online News Publishers).

This is the second online association that the Icons are members. The Icons also belong to the Online News Association (ONA).

 

Note: The following was given by Gregg Luginbuhl at the memorial service on Friday for his father, Darvin Luginbuhl. The Icon wants to share it with its viewers.
