Ice Cream Maker Fun

[bertine]

Last Night I made a small batch of cardamom ice cream. It turned out pretty well, though I should have put a little less cardamom in it and strained the spice out of it. Tomorrow Zach and I are having a bunch of people over to watch Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter and I am thinking about making some more ice cream to serve since there is no way I am baking anything. I am trying to decide what sort of ice cream or sorbet I should make and decided to make a poll:

[Poll #1569527]

The cardamom ice cream is a custard based ice cream so it is pretty creamy. The dulce de leche one has pecans in it. The blueberry sorbet is the hardest to make and even if it gets the most votes I might not make because it is hot out and I might not feel like cooking a simple syrup.

Sir, you have just implied that one can microwave tea.

Unless you explicitly retract that statement, I'm afraid I'm going to have to challenge you to a duel.

And tea-microwavers do NOT get to choose the weapon.

hahaha looks like we're getting all the food nerds out on this post!

ok but you could boil the water and then insert the leaves into the microwaved boiled water, could you not?

Absolutely not!

For one, you don't use boiling water for tea. And you don't "insert" the leaves! I don't even know where to START telling you what's wrong with that!
