I wasn't real sure where to put this, but I thought I'd start a thread about our favorite things....maybe your favorite new found spice? a cooking utensil you've recently discovered and can't live without? a new box/mix/kit that's better than you'd expected?

I've always wanted an ice cream maker!! That thing really works huh? How much ice cream does it make? If you don't mind me asking; how much did it cost?

I wanna say it was around $40 or so....it makes 1.5 qt (I think)....

as a typical ice cream for us, I mix up 2 boxes of pudding and 4 cups of milk. That fills it and makes nice size servings.

It seems like that would be something fun to do with the kids. We eat so much ice cream it would pay for itself in no time.
