We have just one week of July behind us, so there's still plenty of summer left, and what better way to celebrate summer than with ice cream! LilSis mentioned this great Cuisinart ice cream maker a while back, and it's been in the back of my mind ever since.
When the new Williams-Sonoma catalog (schwing!) came out last week, guess what was in it? This same awesome 2-quart Cuisinart stainless steel ice cream maker at the excellent price of $79.95. But guess what? If you buy this shiny little beauty from Williams-Sonoma by August 3, you get a $20 gift card for the store by mail…free! Free free free! My favorite price!
So I'm thinking. Ice cream and a $20 gift card to one of my favorite stores. It seems like a no-brainer to me. Only problem is I'll also have to spring for The Vegan Scoop ($13.59 at Amazon) since dairy ice cream doesn't like me.
Oh, and I'll have to get these cute exclusive ice cream party bowls for $39 from Williams-Sonoma.
And by the time I gobble down a few quarts of non-dairy ice cream, I'm going to need bigger pants. Maybe the $20 gift card isn't such a good deal after all.
Oh, who in the hecky darn am I kidding? Free is free, people! Run…don't walk…to Williams-Sonoma and get your ice cream maker and your gift card before this deal expires! If you run, I bet you've already burned enough calories to eat a bowl of mint chocolate chip by the time you get there!

i want an ice cream maker so badly, but it would be a terrible idea. i would make every ice cream known to man…and then eat it. no, not a good idea at all.

Me too, Grace, me too! I try to rationalize it by telling myself I’d just make healthy sorbets, but the reality is I’d be making vanilla bean chocolate chip cheesecake ice cream with caramel swirl! I just made that up, but darn, it sounds good!
