Ice cream!

[redbird]

Time and energy finally came together, and I've used the ice cream maker cattitude got for my birthday (and delivered around the new year, as agreed at the time).

Thus, we have had cinnamon vanilla ice cream for the first time in too many years (since Peter's Ice Cream on Atlantic Avenue lost their lease). It's good. I served us each a bowlful as soon as the ice cream maker stopped, and put the rest in the freezer to harden a bit and be eaten later. It wasn't even difficult: milk, sugar, powdered cinnamon, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.

I miss Peter's. Lost my ice-cream maker paddle, too, before I even got a chance to use it. Wah!

Cinnamon, mmmm! I'll have to remember that for when I do find my paddle.

What consistency did the ice cream come out? The homemade ice cream I've had has been mostly on the "ice" end, impenetrably hard....

(Yes, I'm trying to find an ice cream maker. ;) )

It came out on the soft end, or at least the part that we ate as soon as the ice cream maker was done did. Don't know yet how it is after sitting in the freezer for a few hours. (cattitude splurged and got me one with its own built-in chiller.)

Cool. What sort did you get?

It says it is a Cuisinart Supreme commercial-quality ice cream maker.

The advantage is that we don't need freezer room for the ice cream maker, only for the ice cream. The disadvantates are that we need table space for it, and that it's heavy. (This is why I didn't get it until new year's, with a November birthday: Cattitude has a bad back and wasn't up to carrying it, so he waited until he was going to be home anyway waiting for his new computer to be delivered.)
