Anybody try Talenti Gelato Sea Salt Carmel.
I know it’s not ice cream, but darn good.
They have a bunch of other tasty flavors.

We pick those up when they're on sale. Pretty good stuff.

I haven't made home churned ice cream in a very long time.

The summer of 1789 was so hot that George Washington spent $200 on ice cream, worth about $4,000 Today.

Published in Bon Appetit mag. in 2001. Wonder how much that ice cream would have cost him today.

I haven't tried that particular flavor, but I do like their Butter Pecan - and I get the Mint Chocolate Chip for my mother. Both are very good.

"When Baskin-Robbins opened in 1946, it offered a flavor for every day of the month; that's why the name is 31 Flavors."

I just saw this. Bad timing for an ice cream recall

Big Olaf Creamery ice cream

• The recalled ice cream was sold or served at Big Olaf retailers, restaurants, and senior homes in Florida, and in one location in Fredericksburg, Ohio.
• All flavors, lots, and expiration dates through 6/30/2022 of Big Olaf brand ice cream products have been recalled.

Probably 10 years or so before he passed, I got Dad going on home churned ice cream. A 4 qt batch fully churned in less than 20 minutes ain't all bad.
