Costco is a dangerous place. One wanders in with aims of being frugal, trying to stick to their list of paper towels and trash bags, and then comes the kitchen appliance aisle. It has sucked me in once before, when I came home with a fabulous new coffee maker, and two days ago, I made the mistake of wandering in again. Now, keep in mind, my super coffee maker is a lovely brushed stainless steel Cuisinart, and matches all of my other brushed stainless appliances, and the first thing I saw upon strolling down that Costco aisle was this ice cream maker. For $49, how bad was this really?

I'd been looking at buying one for a while, especially after seeing lots and lots of my favorite foodie writers describing their home made desserts.

So, in my excitement for my new toy, post your favorite ice cream recipes! I can't wait for the perfect summer weather to enjoy home made ice cream.
