Is summer here yet?

I'm obviously unloading old pictures from last summer, to get them off my computer. This is malted ice cream, with chopped malt balls mixed in. If the malt balls weren't in there, this would actually pass as a very rich vanilla... but what fun would there be in that? None, I tell you, none...

Guests are coming over this Friday and I can't wait to get out the ice cream maker. Totally justified to whip up a batch of ice cream now... it's going to be an Irish-themed dinner, so I was thinking Irish Cream Ice Cream. How appropriate. Mmm...
