1. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream? cookies and cream2. Do you ever make your own? we made snow ice cream this winter, does that count?
1. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
My favorite used to be blueberry, or vanilla with just-picked blackberries on top. (Now i'm lactose intollerant and it just doesn't appeal.)
2. Do you ever make your own?
Yeah. Growing up we made ice cream every summer using a plug-in icecream maker for the 4th of July and during Seafair when watching the Blue Angels and hydroplane races. We have one of those rolling ball makers now and we've used it a couple times.

1. Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie
2. Nope, but I have done it in the past. It's fun!
1. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream? mint chocolate chip
2. Do you ever make your own? Yes. I love my homemade vanilla. I used to think vanilla was a yawn-worthy ice cream flavor until I started making my own.
DH wants us to try making our own teaberry this year. I'm not sure I've ever had it, as it's not a widely known flavor outside of PA.
1. I don't know. Probably coffee.
2. yes. I made some frozen strawberry yogurt earlier this week, and it was great.
1. Carrot cake or peaches and cream, from a local ice cream place that makes it themselves
2. I don't. I don't have an ice cream maker. I hope to get one soon.
1. Vanilla, because it serves as the perfect backdrop for other flavors (mint M&Ms are my favorite!).
2. Once in a blue moon. We have a tiny hand-crank ice cream maker; we use it to make frozen yogurt (yum!) more often than ice cream.
1.) Vanilla with homemade blackberry syrup (blackberry jam that didn't jell). YUM.
2.) Nope. We don't have it that often, and we have no space to store an ice cream maker.
