Let's Talk ... Ice Cream

I don't know about you but anytime is a good time for "great" ice cream (summer or winter). There's nothing better than a bowl (or two) of old-fashion homemade ice cream. Remember the days when you had to churn it till you couldn't churn it any longer. Then you had to put blankets on it and wait ... and wait ... and wait. As a child you didn't think you would ever get to eat it! Now that was when ice cream was ice cream. None of this processed stuff like we get today. I've seen antique freezers like the one pictured to the left sell on ebay for $400+. I've got a new one like pictured to the right that needs to be put to good use. My opinion the key to creamy ice cream is found in the dasher. Ice cream freezers today and for the past several years have had plastic dashers (big mistake) ... needs to be metal. So what's your favorite flavor of Homemade Ice Cream? ~ Chef Wilkinson ~
