Homemade ice cream recipes?
Basic Sweet Cream Recipe (add fresh vanilla to taste)
2 Cups Whole Milk
2 Cups Heavy Cream
1 Cup sugar
Vanilla to your taste
This recipe is incredibly versatile and EASY! Just mix ingredients together, keep chilled in fridge until ready to use. When your KA bowl is frozen, add mixture to kitchenaid mixer bowl (KA Ice Cream Maker Bowl Attachment - Freezer bowl) and churn/mix for 25-20 minutes. Scrape bowl and place into two shallow, freezer safe containers and freeze for 4 hours. SO delicious. No playing around with eggs or other ingredients. Make about 1/2 gallon of sweet, refreshing ice cream. Not too sweet, not too bland, absolutely perfect. Great for those of us who don't like the eggs. Also great as a base for other flavors like chocolate (add 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder) and voila - chocolate bliss.
I have a whole article I just wrote about this recipe and using the Ice Cream maker attachment. I've also included ideas to variations/different flavors this recipe could be adapted to fit. If you are a beginner with making ice cream, THIS is the recipe for you -simple, pure ingredients and a good starting point.

Best black and white cookie in BK?
A&S bakery on Avenue S (between W.5th and W.6th) makes the BEST B&W cookie EVER. I don't work there, and I don't own there store, but I wish I did! Just moved to Brooklyn 2 years ago and I am addicted to them, and I've tried a lotof different B&W's (I used to to think that Wegmans - an upstate grocer- made the best B&W, but I was mistaken - their's are good, but not anywhere NEAR as good as A&S). A&S takes the cake, (literally) when it comes to the B&W. Just wrote an article about them on my blog - http://www.brooklynclothesline.blogspot.com
