Well, I couldn’t wait to make the ice cream — even though I won’t eat any until later today, I went ahead and put it in the freezer first thing this morning. It’s done churning, and now it’s resting in the freezer for a half hour or so. I’ll transfer it to a plastic container after that.

I have to admit that I cheated for the first batch. Next to the freezer on the shelf were some ice cream mixes from the same company. I got the “cookies and cream” flavor — just add milk. Of course, the mix contains all kinds of additives, which kind of takes away one of the reasons for making your own ice cream, but I knew that the consistency of that first batch would be just right — and if it wasn’t, the fault would be the freezer’s, not the ice cream mix.
