After all, this is the "blues" post, isn't it? I'm sorry to hear you didn't pass. You must feel so frustrated! How soon until the next session? Well, you can tell me in response to the (once again) novel-length email I'm sending your way soon. And hooray for ice cream, by the way. And hooray for skinny husbands who can eat up the leftovers.

Thanks so much! Holly and Mrs. Presley- HI! Thanks for stopping by. I'm very excited about the Daring Bakers community. I can't wait to get started. I hope we'll be in touch again. Victoria- I'm checking out those cookbooks. Thanks (as always) for the good advice. EB and Elle- You're right. Lemon and alcohol are a good recipe for feeling better. Chez D and L- Ooh, you've got a different limoncello recipe? What's it like? How did it turn out? Lucky you, with a bag of Meyer lemons. I miss mine! Farhan- I saw your latest ice cream creation. It looks amazing. The texture of the brown sugar/sour cream ice cream turned out completely silky for us. I think it's because I always take my ice cream out of the machine a little early now, just when it's the texture of soft-serve,then let it harden in the fridge. I don't know why, but it works. ALSO!! You can get 45% cream in Singapore?! I'm jealous. Here, the only option I've ever found is 35% at the very most. Your ice cream must be killer-delicious.

I've just discovered that I've been using the WRONG cream for my ice cream.. That's why I can't get the right creamy texture, my ice creams are all slightly frozen and icy. I was looking into the milk fat content of the different creams, and I realize that double cream has 48% milk fat and single cream has 35%. Here in Singapore creams are not sold as single and double. "Pure cream" has 45% milk fat and "whipping cream" has 35%. I've been using whiping cream all along. Now that I've just bought the right cream, I'm gonna make my next ice cream real soon. How was the texture of ur brown sugar ice cream? I noticed Mercedes said that the ice cream had a sorbet like texture, was yours? Cos my peach ice cream has sour cream and also had a sorbet texture. Still good though! No yolks! great!

I will have to try your recipe, it is a little different than the one we made last fall. Just got a huge bag of Meyers may have to give it a whirl again! Thanks!

And really doesn't anything based with vodka make the "greys" feel just a bit better? Erin I call my cats ’stupids’ :) It weirdly makes me feel ok that I’m not the only one.
