I GOT AN ICE CREAM MAKER!

(And also, finally, bread machines came back in stock.)

(One of those two things is the staff of life.)

Alas, I forgot to stock on cream in advance, or indeed even any milk. I suppose I could make an emergency store run in the morning, but I'm a little concerned about the fact that thus far, all my emergency store runs have involved ice cream.

We've made three batches of ice cream since Pestilence. Two were this awesome dark chocolate (we're out of it now and will need to make another batch).

And two days ago we made this strawberry with balsamic vinegar. shalmestere and I both found it too creamy -- one's first impression is "creamy" rather than "strawberry" -- but it's worth trying again and adjusting the cream-to-milk ratio. The balsamic vinegar isn't consciously perceptible, and I might try increasing it a bit.

Our ice cream freezer only makes a pint at a time, which is good for experimenting with different recipes, and good for fitting things in our limited freezer space. I suppose it would be good for our waistlines, if we weren't at home all day every day with plenty of time to make more batches.
