As a kid we always looked forward to the rare Sunday afternoon when the folks would decide to make homemade ice cream . It was always made with hand crushed vanilla beans up until my grandmother passed away in 1965 She might once in a while add fine crushed pecans or black walnuts, but mostly they were left on the side in a dish we could add them if we wanted the same with scooping it over cake or any assorted toppings, after that one of my aunts or my mother would mix it then us kids turned the crank to freeze it. My aunts would always make up some horrible tasting flavor (to me that is) They would mix everything right into the mix. Ice cream on Sunday's became a non event for me I wouldn't even take my turn on the crank for those flavored disasters. Until one day my Mother decided we were going to have something new She mixed up a batch of lime sherbert from some recipe she found hand written in an old cook book. That has been my only choice of a frozen treat ever since. I might choke down a scoop of vanilla ice cream once in a while, Might that is. Mostly if I visit an ice cream parlor or shop if they don't have lime sherbert I'll buy the wife what ever flavor she wants but will exit without purchasing anything for myself.
I can't beat a quality vanilla or rum & raisin icecream ( real ice cream not the chemical concoction).
