I scream!

While our experiments may not be as interesting as those that the MIT researchers are churning out, we've been having fun with our new ice cream maker. We thought that the old one had given up the ghost, so we splurged on a new Cuisinart 1-quart ice cream maker. As it turned out, we were able to resurrect the old one by thawing the cooling disk and refreezing it, so now we have two. Several trips to the farmers market later (for milk, cream, eggs, and fresh peaches), we've made 3 batches of increasingly delicious peach ice cream.

We're still looking forward to trying some of Alton Brown's recipes from the recent Churn, Baby, Churn episode (his vanilla sounds particularly decadent, and even richer than Ben & Jerry's). Also trying to locate some recipes for my favorite Toscanini's flavors: Cocoa Pudding, Burnt Caramel, and the inimitable Chocolate Sluggo.
