Best batch ever! Next time I make this I will only ad one capful of vanilla extract instead of two..

5. The kids beat you to it.

Next time you visit CP let me know and I will make you guys a batch.

2. I always overdo the vanilla extract in things...

out of fear that I won't be able to taste the vanilla. Of course, I end up really tasting it.

And...that sounds really good and yummy.

4. My very first batch was french vanilla..

I followed a recipe using "Mexican" vanilla thinking that it was a better choice then the Schilling brand. It was so over powering fresh out of the maker. The next day it had mellowed enough to be eatable, but I will never use Mexican vanilla for ice cream again, and never use more then half of the recommended amount. A little vanilla goes a long way.

3. what did you end up doing with the egg whites?

6. I did the chocolate merange cookies.

Last weekend I made a giant batch of fresh cherries and chocolate (I ripped off the Cherry Garcia recipe)and Alison made an angel food cake. Believe it or not- I had a appointment at the VA today and I have lost weight. Only two pounds, but it was still down from the last appointment.

8. Hi CP

I'm making a batch of mint tomorrow, and I will set aside a pint for you and your hubby. I recommend you let it set in the freezer overnight. It tastes better for some reason.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Oh, thank you so much!

That is just way too kind of you...

I'm way too busy tomorrow to get it then, but perhaps we could connect Friday?

I'll call you Friday, if that's OK...

You are a sweetheart!


:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Absolutely!

Gimmie a call, so I can turn on the porch lights!

Thanks, sweetie...
