What's Your "Why"?

Okay, maybe you're wondering what I plan to sell at the Farmer's Market if has nothing to do with leafy green veggies, sweet corn or fruit. Here are a couple of hints. It's cold. It's wet, and it's something you might crave on a hot summer's day (and no, it's not water!) and it doesn't have anything to do with my e-mail address serenasmoothies. I could just blab, but I'd rather begin "once upon a time."

This is an excerpt from my ice-cream dairy...you're a very privelaged reader:

September 18, 2008 - When Melissa and I were at a top-notch shop in Wyoming, I came across an ice-cream recipe book! My mouth filled with water and my heart did a satisfied “sigh.” But when I showed Melissa, she said she wouldn’t know how to make ice-cream without dairy products but that she believed I would find a way. I remember that my heart sort of sank. I wondered, “That’s not fair. It doesn’t seem fair; there’s gotta be a way to make something like ice-cream without dairy. And something that tastes good.”

That's sort of how it started. I began researching ice-cream makers and fell in love with the ICE-40 by Cuisineart. It is a 2 qt. double-canister ice-cream maker, and PERFECT for indecisive people (i.e. "Hmmm...do I want to make blueberry ice-cream, or vanilla? I know, I'll make both!) Nothing is ever impossible; impossible is only a state of mind. When I put that recipe book back, I felt like a dream inside me died. Later, I began to see that was only page one of a much more exciting book. Melissa was right, there's always a way.
