I've manged several extremely good batches of ice cream ... no waxiness.

Ben & Jerry have an ice cream recipe book that's REALLY good, but do use raw eggs. A friend of mine makes icecream from their book exclusively, and hasn't killed or sickened anyone yet.

I tend to avoid the raw egg based recipes personally, even if it does enhance the texture and richness.

The base recipes that came with my Krups ice cream maker do pretty well, and I made a batch of banana rum up ... I'll have to look for that recipe. I forget what book it was in but it was kickin' ... I took it into work, forgot that the ETOH was NOT cooked out of the mix. We got detectable blows on the alco-sensor from it. oopsie!

That Guy ... $30 for a breadmaker? Damn!!! I might actually have to go over to Kohl's and check that out ... I'd been avoiding them because I like the process of making bread from scratch, but WOW ... cheaper than my last coffee maker! Can't pass that up!
