I should have clarified ... I have the modern type, with the freezable cannister to which you attach the motorized paddle contraption. That's the part I can't ever fit in the freezer.

I also have another one (never yet used, my mom saw it on TV and thought it was cute) that you just sit in the freezer and stir occasionally that also won't fit.

Hmm... top opening freezer chest...

Townhome with no garage and no space for a chest style freezer. I would love one, though. Would solve a lot of these little storage problems ... you can't fit a whole human body in a standard freezer. Not that I've actually tried or anything.

Nah, you'd be forced to confine yourself to wasting a hobbit.

And the top-opening freezer chest is still the better choice for that one.

Of course, hobbits would probably really like ice cream.

The bucket rotted on the maker years ago. So I made one from pipe. Not tried it yet. I'm thinking Mom made custard not ice cream, because she used canned milk, eggs and cooked in double boiler.
Aw the peach she made!!!
I've looked at untold number of recipes and I think custard was what she made.

What makes French vanilla into French vanilla is that it is a custarded up ice cream.

My grandparents have peach trees growing out front of their house which they thought would be "fun" and "interesting"...nice to have fresh fruit around right? Well they took off like rockets and every year the trees have to have about 1/2 of the unripened fruit torn off in order to keep the branches from tearing themselves off...and they still have tonnnnnnns of peaches....so what do they do? Buy an ice cream maker and have an ice cream party every summer for the rest of the family. Homemade Peach ice cream is extra yummy, and clears out those blasted peach trees quite nicely.
