This morning one coworker brought donuts and another brought bagels. Jokes were made about making a sandwich with a donut in the middle and someone said, "Might as well add bacon too."

Face palm.

Ice cream hounds, all you need to do is invest in this. Sometimes the warehouse stores carry them for around $35.

Basic delicious ice cream recipe is cream, milk, sugar, vanilla. You can certainly play with recipes using Primal ingredients - maybe substituting something for the sugar, or reducing the amount of sugar but allowing some as a "cheat."

I made a crazy honkin' good ice cream last month with rhubarb from my garden that I simmered into a compote with a sprig of rosemary (removed when the rhubarb was added into the liquid base, using heavy cream and goat's milk. Sounds weird, but it was eyeball rolling good. Basically, whatever crazy experiment you do, the result will be better in terms of ingredients (if not flavor) than 99.9999% of ice cream you can buy.

I actually went on a quest earlier this year to find a relatively cheap all-metal hand-crank unit since I don't buy plastic or appliances. (Okay, aside from my avocado green vintage Sunbeam hand mixer that I found at the thrift store for $8. That is an exception.) Anyway, them shits is expensive. Or, rather, I'm just really poor. When I eventually break down and make ice cream, I will probably just use good old-fashioned rock salt and ice. Probably won't be as perfect as fancy newfangled contraption ice cream, but I kick it oldschool (and cheap).

I'm a minimalist cook, don't like single-usage appliances, but the ice cream maker is a worthwhile exception IMO.

To fix it being a single-use appliance, just make sure you make icecream at least twice. *shrug*

Funny girl. You know what I mean: food processor can do lots of tasks; coffee maker only does one, but I needs my coffee. Ice cream maker may be my only other single-purpose appliance...

Yes I'm too cheap/poor to buy a new appliance lol. I might look into a cheap one though. It might save money over time making it myself. However there is a little old fashioned dairy in town that sells milk cheese and eggs and home made ice cream!!!! It's the best its ap good. It's where I get all my dairy products from and they serve it all in glass bottles its great. So if I buy an ice cream machine I have very little reason to go there for ice cream haha

There are a bunch of farms up your way that look pretty interesting, Weathergirl. I remember when I started sourcing direct from farms I checked out eatwild.com, and I remembered seeing a number of farms in the SC area.
