It's a damned shame. I used to buy Haagen-Sasz because it was so good. Real
ice cream is much more satisfying and a small serving is all you need. I
would rather have a small amount of something good than a lot of the crappy
stuff. I was willing to pay the extra for the quality product. I wouldn't
pay extra for it is it wasn't so much better.

I guess it doesn't really matter. I have had an ice cream maker for about 4
years now and have not bought any ice cream since I got the thing. I make
all my own.


The other day I finally got my wife to try making a batch. She had never
made one despite my urging. She was afraid that she would ruin it. I
supervised while she did it. We cooled it and then I froze it in the
morning. She had some last night for dinner and commented that it was the
best batch that I had ever made, forgetting that, other than the freezing,
it was her effort. Maybe now she will start making it more often. It seems
only fair to me. She eats most of it.
