I scream, you scream ...

I love Ice Cream. Some scientists in Europe or some country where they study things like this determined that eating ice cream activates endorphines in your brain and sends happy waves to your pleasure center so it's practically a drug.

With that in mind, we bought an ice cream maker at the C & B a few weeks ago. Nothing brings a smile to your face like watching all that creamy bad-for-you-but-you-can't-help-yourself goodness swirling around in ever thicker gobs. Just add the mixins!

The peppermint tasted grat, but the texture was all wrong. We abandoned the healthy milk for full-on milk and cream for the next batches. What do you do when Breyers stops making your favorite flavor? You gather together some chocolate-covered almonds and coconut shavings and make it yourself, that's what.

But, the greatest of all flavors is the ice-cream version of the Jack Daniel's Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie.

Mmmmmm ... Ice Cream and Tennessee Sipping Whiskey ... a potent combination. Note: call Lynchburg.
