Key Lime Pie Ice Cream– also tagged , , ,

How is it possible that I, the girl who craves ice cream constantly, have only made ice cream once this summer?!  Although I still have 6 days of summer left, and 39 days until the official change over to fall, who knows if time will allow for more flavors to be tested.  Thank goodness this [...]

Another weekend has come and gone.  There was time for work, good food, and good company.  Some relaxation and some things getting done.  The best part of my weekend turned out to be dinner and a movie on Saturday with a friend.  We didn’t know what we wanted to see, but when we got to [...]
