Making ice cream at home
One of the wedding gifts we received was a KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment. So far we've made two batches of ice cream with it: vanilla and cinnamon. The vanilla was pretty good but the cinnamon was amazing! It helped that the second time I used whole milk rather than 1% and I bought the cream and milk at the Greenmarket from a local dairy. I'm pretty excited to spend the summer playing with this and trying out different flavors and experimenting. So I was excited to find this Unusual Ice Cream Recipes. It looks like just the thing to inspire my experiments, though I have to admit the recipes aren't as unusual as I'm imagining. I want to try to make a basil ice cream. First though, I have to finish off the cinnamon in the freezer.

Comparing Frozen Fish to Fresh
My mother swears by frozen fish. I was unconvinced, and decided to put her statements to the test: could flash-frozen fish taste as good as fresh local fish from the Greenmarket or even fresh fish from a local supermarket?
