i'm addicted!. i remember, growing up, my dad would bring out the old hand-cranked ice cream maker and make us kids take turns turning the handle until the ice cream was done. it was hard work and seemed like it took forever, but it was so worth it! nothing store bought ever measured up. it never quite had that same flavor. i don't know what makes that flavor i'm talking about, but it makes the ice cream really good! ted & wally's has that flavor in their ice cream and it has to be because they make it the old-fashioned way, using the rock salt and real cream. they even have the machines out front where you can see them. luckily for their employees, they are not the hand cranked kind. i go there whenever i can, cuz iloveme some ice cream! i'm always amazed by the array of creative flavors, it's hard to decide. there is a line out the door sometimes, but the anticipation is all part of the fun, giving you time to make up your mind. it's hard for me to get down there as often as i would like, but i've noticed that pints are being made available at different stores around town, too. you don't get the unique atmosphere that way, but it's still the same great ice cream. way to go!
