Giveaway - Cuisinart I'm Obsessed With You 11/28


I have an obsession.

I love to day dream about it.

Feel it.

Taste it.

Play with it.

Experiment with it.

I even love to just look at it.

This amazing obsession that I do not get to indulge often enough is deliciously rich and flavor filled ice cream. When I was a teenager, Mom had a big wood ice cream maker. She would fill the metal canister with the ice cream mixture, put on the cover, attach the motor to the top, surround the canister with ice and rock salt, turn it on and then have me stand watch to keep the hole in the side unclogged to drain the melting ice as the mixture churned into a heavenly concoction. Although it was extremely delightful, the ice cream would always take so long to make and would be eaten up so quickly!

Eventually, I grew up, got married and bought my own heavy and cumbersome ice cream maker which I used over and over again. I made ice cream so often that eventually the canister rusted and the wood started splintering pretty bad too.

Because it was such a mess with the water draining out of the hole, I didn't buy another ice cream maker until...

I saw the Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker. Let me just say that I couldn't buy it fast enough and now my freezer always has a fresh batch of the most tantalizing flavors of ice cream my mind can imagine. As Karen Carpenter once sang, "I've only just begun!"

Vanilla Ice CreamStrawberry Ice Cream

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream

This little machine is still amazing me. It only takes 30 minutes to make a batch of ice cream and there are very few things that I have to clean up when it is finished churning. I love to watch all the ingredients through the hole in the top as they mix together until it gets thick and officially turns into ice cream.

Because I was high on the sugar from the ice cream and because I think you are just phenomenal, I bought another ice cream maker just for my lovely readers. You too can experience frozen heaven in your bowl with your very own Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker.

3. I follow you on FB
4. I don't tweet or twitter.
How many entries does that add up to?

I think I'll go make a rootbeer float. I have homemade rootbeer already, wouldn't homemade ice cream be great with it. But that's okay I'll settle on the store brand stuff for now.

Oh my goodness! I have been wanting an ice cream maker for so long! I can't find my favorite ice cream flavor in Mexico. If I ever want to eat Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream, I'm going to have to make it myself. The pumpkin spice ice cream looks delicious! :)
