Freeze the Pint

First post!


Over the past year, I got caught up in the hype surrounding the Ninja Creami Deluxe. It was a fantastic machine that worked wonders—until it started malfunctioning after ~75 spins.

My first creation was a simple strawberry banana ice cream, made with just strawberries and bananas 🤯

Honestly, this whole blog adventure is a way for me to build a blogging platform from the ground up. This post is written within a Notion database entry. It will eventually be pulled through the Node Notion SDK, converted into markdown via a GitHub Action, committed to my freeze-the-pint-blog repository, processed by the Eleventy framework, and, finally, published to freezethepint.com.

Thanks for joining me on this sweet journey.
