Ice cream binging is a BAD idea, even if it seems good at the moment and even if it´s the best ice cream in the world that you can have. DON´T DO IT! 

???....I have an ice cream maker....you can make any flavor you can dream of and get the flavors for. Yum....actually home made ice cream is wonderful...and you know what is in it, no funny ingredients you can´t pronounce!

A few days in Istanbul have taught me that studying Turkish was one of the few clever  -  or shall I say lucky  -  decisions I have made during my life. I urgently need to learn more.

I hate to use superlatives or flatter people and that is not my intention now either but what I have found in Turkey is only warm, helpful, patient, shy and clean people who respect the little effort a learner and a culture enthusiast has taken.

 I´ve got into frozen yogurt ... miles fewer calories. You can freeze a small pot in about 2 hours, and if you choose a low cal yogurt it´s even fewer cals -- but still the same pleasure!

for me, the unique ice cream is  chocolate ice cream...

I dont care about calories (as you can see )

That´s actually a great idea, what do you make your ice cream from in the ice cream maker? 

Here is a link to a pdf of the one I have. Of course, you can adjust the ingredients to your taste. I cut the sugar. Play with it. In commercial ice cream you would be amazed at the adulteration of the ingredients. 

 Best investment I ever made!  So much fun too!

What kind do you have? Do share......recipes please

I have a Breville ice cream maker and my favorite flavor right now is Key Lime Pie.  It´s a 1/2 cup of granular sweetner for ice cream, 2 tablespoons of corn starch, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, 2 cups of low fat milk, 1 cup of 1/2 and 1/2, one egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of lime zest, 1/3 cup of key lime juice and then I throw in some graham cracker crumbs (for the "crust").  I got the recipe from Southern Living Magazine (they have some of the best comfort food recipes!!)

Wow, that´s an expensive one. I´m sure it does a better job than my Donvier, actually, I have two. I found a cute little penguin one pint model that I just had to have......I´ve got to get rid of one of them. I use it in particular for extra fruit. Here in CA we have a lot of fruit and after canning, making pies, jams and jellies, ice cream and sherbert are other options for what to do with extra fruit. I´m not complaining about the fruit, but I just want to use them wisely.....
