07.07.2007 Dessert

My Cuisinart ice cream maker has gotten a fairly good workout since I purchased it last year.  I thankfully have two bowls, and keep them well-wrapped in the freezer in our garage for those times when I want to add that little extra effort when people come to dinner.  It’s that whole, "You made it [...]
