I felt like I had left the ice cream in the freezer long enough, but it was still very soft. I couldn't wait and ate some anyway. I hope it will be harder tomorrow because I had to eat it really fast tonight.

I used David Lebovitz's recipe here but left out an egg. The ice cream did taste rather custardy, so I'll probably leave out two eggs if I make it again. I used local (within 30 miles) cream and eggs. It tasted good, and I got a bit of a workout by turning the crank.

I've had a few ideas on things I could do for fun this summer, and one of them is making ice cream. I do own an ice cream maker but have not used it in quite a while. The last time we used it was several years ago; we made frozen yogurt that did not taste good, and I think that put us off making our own for a while. Because it's supposed to hit 97 degrees tomorrow, I have bought the necessary ingredients for ice cream. But there is no room in my freezer. So I think I'll be making chicken stock tonight. I really hope that frees up enough room. I'll try to take pictures of the ice cream, but the only camera I have on hand at the moment is acting up.
