About meIce cream time
For my birthday Megumi got me a BH-941 cordless ice-creamer. The thing runs on batteries that are supposed to be good for about 25 batches of ice cream. You put in the milk and cream and fruit and sugar and whatnot, close it up, press the button, and stick the whole thing in the freezer for three hours or so.
Last night we made our first batch. Since Megumi is still watching what she eats (no eggs, no dairy, not much sugar) we played with a recipe from some health-food cookbook. Soy milk and black sesame paste and a bit of maple syrup for sweetness. It turned out slightly off-balance—too much goma turned the mix a deep shade of gray—but it was still tasty. Very cold and creamy. And dark gray. We’ll be working out the kinks in the recipe as these hot days continue.

Wow, nice!
Doesn’t the freezer muck up the batteries though? I know that storing your batteries in a cool place is recommended, but I’d wager that -18 is taking things a little far.
Also: sesame ice cream FTW! I loved that stuff! That reminds me, I really ought to visit Namja Town when I’m in Tokyo. Who can beat an amusement park based on Japanese horror, gyoza and ice cream?! ^_^

The batteries worked just fine. They’re lithium cells like you find in a camera, and I think their compartment is pretty well insulated.

Huh, well in that case… Ice cream away!
I really shouldn’t buy something like that machine. It would definitely throw on some extra pounds
