I tilled it all up and planted bluegrass and white clover.

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.
