Jeff and I have a really bad habit of picking up half-gallon tubs of ice cream when they go on sale. My first advice regarding ice cream: don't buy ice cream. Just go ahead and cut that stuff right out of your diet. Trust me, you'll be much happier in the long run.
That said, I recently discovered something incredible about ice cream that I feel the need to share. At the time, the revelation kind of blew my mind. It could revolutionize the way I prepare ice cream.
