Shortly before I bought my little house the D.O.T. widened the parkway
and installed nice sidewalks ... at the expense of part of my lawn. The
contractor re-seeded the parts they had laid waste to which a VERY lowest
common denominator seed mixture containing timothy and several other
varieties seen growing in medians and roadsides. I tilled it all up
and planted bluegrass and white clover. Currently I'm consideried going
to zoysia grass mixed with mint.

I'd have to find a shopping centre or a Cracker Barrel - where "paying

I scream is good even when it's not bedtime for Bonzo.
This is the first I scream I made in my new *motorised* ice cream maker.
Actually an attachment for my Kitchen Aid.
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Peach Ice Cream
Categories: I scream, Dairy, Fruits
Yield: 7 servings
1 1/2 c Whole milk
2 lg Eggs
2 Egg yolks
1 1/4 c Sugar
1 1/4 c Heavy cream
1 pt Ripe peaches; chopped, w/
- peel on
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Place milk in the top of a double boiler and bring just
to a simmer over gently boiling water over medium heat.
Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and 3/4 cup
of the sugar in a mixing bowl. Lightly whisk 1/4 cup of
the hot milk into egg mixture, then whisk egg mixture
into remaining milk in top of double boiler. Cook,
stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture
is thick enough to coat back of a spoon, about 15
minutes.
Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl; stir in 1 1/4 cups
heavy cream; refrigerate until cold.
Combine peaches, remaining sugar, and lemon juice in a
mixing bowl; the peel will add a rosy color. Cover and
refrigerate for 2 hours.
Drain and stir accumulated peach juices into cream base
(return fruit to the refrigerator). Pour base into an
ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's
directions. Just before mixture is set, add peaches.
Yield: serves 6-8
