Ice Cream...You Scream

Doesn't it just make you wanna start creating your own ice cream? Ok, well for us foodies it challenges us. It then hit me i bought a Cuisinart Icecream maker at William and Sonoma and brought it with me in my suitcase (imagine that going through a checkpoint). It's been rated the easiest and most efficient ice cream maker around and i have yet to use it.

It's worth the $60 at William and Sonoma.
Or is you have one of those amazing-does-everything KitchenAid mixers there is now an attachment for it so you can make icecream
