I don't think that there is a month when we don't have at least ONE container of ice cream in the house... and obviously in the summer, we go through the stuff like there is no tomorrow.
Did I mention that we have begun making our own ice cream and we are getting pretty good at it, but unfortunately yesterday we packed it away. We are moving at the end of the month and we have some packing to get out of the way. But, the minute that we unpack, we are going to make another batch. So far our chocolate had been better than anything I have tasted to date! No kidding lol...

Don't Use Regular Salt
If you want to make your own ice cream, be sure to read the instructions carefully and then use the kind of salt that the machine tells you too. I've tried regular table salt and it doesn't work!
