Hallelujah!

Hallelujah for a few reasons.  First reason-I was so much better at writing everything down yesterday.  It felt wonderful to be in a little more control.  I won't say I was perfect, but at least I wrote stuff down.  I feel pretty good about it.  Second reason-I got my Cuisinart Red Ice Cream Maker in the mail yesterday!  Its cheaper than the one in the link, I think because it was refurbished.  We shall see if it works!  Scott and I got it as a joint 3rd year anniversary present.  I was sick of the soydream ice cream, or the soy delicious ice cream-plus, the stopped selling it here.  I want the real stuff.  Made with dairy (thank you lactaid), and I want to control the ingredients.  I want to make my ice cream low fat (have you seen the calories for the regular, normal fat ice cream?  Its depressing!).  Today I think I am going to give it a trial run and do vanilla ice cream with chopped up andies mints, a variation on mint chip if you will.  So excited to see the results!  I will keep you updated on my ice cream adventures.  So excited to add homemade ice cream to the list of homemade foods I now make.  Yay for changing our eating habits!  Or at least modifying them-we eat most of the same stuff, just healthier versions.  Yay!
