Summer List No. 1: Make Ice Cream

We knocked another "to do" off our summer list this weekend with my first experiment with homemade ice cream. It was much easier than I thought it would be, and my dear friend Lori was right: It does taste better when you make it yourself.

 Just one hiccup in the cooking: I know how to temper an egg, but got a little impatient. I ended up pulling a few pieces of scrambled egg out of the batter.

 Our cookies and cream creation. I used skim milk but stuck with the heavy whipping cream. Needless to say, it's a little rich.

John told me it was "off the chain." So I'm calling it a success.
