It’s not quite as exotic walking on hot coals… but I used to chase the neighborhood ice cream truck barefoot. If you’ve ever heard asphalt sizzle on a blistery Texas day, though, you know it’s pretty much the same thing.
These days I still love ice cream, but not all the weird additives and non-food ingredients in most commercial brands. After our garage sale ice cream maker went kaput a couple of years ago, the kids and I tried several, ahem, creative techniques for making it. Unfortunately they’ve never come close to the slow-churned goodness of real homemade ice cream, so you can imagine my excitement when Daddypotamus walked through the door with a Cuisanart Pure Indulgence last week. You guys, I am in LOVE!

YEARS ago when I was younger, on sunday’s my father (RIP) and mother had an ice cream maker, and we used the cream and milk from our milk cow and made homemade ice cream, my father got a kick out of showing us that we could make it ourselves and any flavor. such grand memory’s.

Mom and I both have food sensitivites… you know Aspartame, MSG, BGH, etc. etc. and IceCream is a big no no for us! There’s only one kind of Organic IceCream we can tolerate and it’s hard to find, of course. This is a wonderful idea and is very compact. Thanks for this giveaway!

I haven’t been doing much ice cream since my methods take a long time and we won’t buy it at the store due to all the toxic chemicals. Thanks for offering this.
