I once dated a guy that loved to cook; was nice while it lasted. :-)

Ice cream machine update summary: Oh my. Who would have thought
research could be so much fun!
Details: I've made four different frozen desserts in the ice cream
maker thus far. A full, rich, butter pecan ice cream (NY style), a
serious vanilla ice cream (Philadelphia style), a raspberry sherbet, a
mango sorbet and there is a batch of cantaloupe sorbet chilling to be
churned in a couple of hours. What I'm finding that isn't a surprise is
an improved flavor over even premium store bought. What I didn't
anticipate is how much more expensive it is to make quality ice cream at
home. The ingredients add up especially when using vanilla beans.
Here are a few links to those recipes:

Where do you get ripe mangos?

Yes, the cost of milk and cream and eggs can be ridiculous. My friend
made ice cream, and you could tell he cheaped out - and at that point,
just buy what's on sale at the store.

The cheap ice cream at the store does not have eggs.

I got nice mangos at Krogers.
The cantaloupe sorbet came out great! I used Midori instead of vodka. It
comes in at 88 calories a serving without resorting to artificial
sweetener. That's what I was looking to accomplish when I started this
ice creeam making thing.

You can get canned ripe mango pulp at Indian food stores.

Overnight guests tonight and I'd like to serve something a little
different for breakfast. So I had a trial-run of this recipe this morning
and it's quite good. I made enough crepes for tomorrow, will put together
a fruit salad tonight, and the morning will be golden. That's the plan at
least. ;-)

I've been making lots of familiar dishes lately so not much to link to
here. But for tonight I made a new recipe for Fried Rice with Tofu and
it's very good. The only change I made was in using brown rice. This one
is a keeper.
