ice cream

I have always had this kind of obsession with ice cream. As a kid we had tubs of ice cream in storage in our downstairs freezer. My favourite was the master's choice french vanilla. We used to go to that frozen goods store in rexdale, and get chapman's icecream. I liked their cherry flavour, with chunks of half marachino cherries found inside. Delicious! Me and my sister one time made granitas. That was hard. The lime was too sour for my taste. My dream was to have an ice cream maker. I remember wanting the play plastic icecream maker on a commercial. I also remember taking out books and reading about making icecream from a coffeecan and a wooden spoon with a hole drilled into the middle. My dream of making ice cream was rekindled after listening to a Good Food podcast on David Lebowitz. So I made a vanilla ice cream!
