I remember the first time I made homemade ice cream. My hand ached from prolonged cranking, but the ice cream I made tasted better than any I could get at the store or local shops. That was back in the 70s.
Today, you’ll find several electric ice cream makers on the makers on the market. White Mountain Company offers both the electric and old-fashioned hand crank machines, handcrafted in pine to create a sense of tradition. The hand crank machine will produce ultrasmooth ice cream or yogurt in 40 minutes, while the electric machine will take you 20 minutes.
If you’ve never made ice cream before and are curious as to how it’s done, check out the instructional video on how to make strawberry ice cream.

My husband and I have been talking about replacing the old refrigerator that came with our house for quite some time. Although we’ve decided on a style, we’re still discussing the color. I’m happy with white because it matches the rest of our appliances. He would like bronze.
Neither one of us cares for stainless steel because it’s a fad that will become dated over the next 5-10 years. But the only thing I’ve seen online and off are white and stainless, with the occasional cream or black thrown in. That’s not much of a selection.
However, I found what may be a good solution from Kitchen Accessories Unlimited. I say ‘may’ because I have no idea what the quality of their panels are. They offer quite a selection of appliance covers. The one pictured above is their copper facing.
These panels don’t come cheap. Some of them, like the copper, cost almost as much as a brand new refrigerator. That said, these panels may outlive more than one refrigerator.

KitchenAid delivers another great product with its 9-speed professional hand mixer. The motor is quiet, yet powerful enough to whip up thick cookie dough. Unlike the cheap and wimpy mixers adding ingredients while using the KitchenAid at high speeds will not cause your mixture to fly all over your walls and counter. As always, you’ll pay more. But the old addage, “You get what you pay for”, definitely applies.
