summer giveaway: cuisinart ice cream maker
Aug 16, 2010 While I am soaking up every last moment of my East Coast summer stint – every swim in the ocean and backstroke through a pond, every lazy magazine read in a hammock, and every dropping off to sleep with the sound of frogs and crickets outside the window – here is a terrific giveaway.
This relates to what I have been eating a lot of lately. Whether on the beach when the happy bell of the ice cream truck rings, or after a barbeque chicken dinner, ice cream features regularly in this summer vacation. And no surprise, really. Ice cream knows no season in my family. Sure, it shines the brightest when eaten on summer porches or while wearing flip-flops. But I grew up in family of ice cream zealots. So much so that my sister packed her ice cream maker to meet us here on the Cape for a few days, where we’ve ice-creamed (notice the invented verb) blackberries, peaches, even Japanese plum wine this week.
When we were little, my parents had a wooden ice cream maker that required rock salt and lots of cranking. So much cranking, in fact, that we didn’t make many batches after the novelty wore off. But Cusinart's Pure Indulgence Ice Cream Maker is a dead-simple affair. And they're giving one to a lucky winner who will be chosen at random after the giveaway closes at midnight PST on Friday. Please include a way to reach you, and good luck! I’ll be back later this week with more tales of the waning lazy summer days.

I would love to have this ice cream maker - so much faster and easier than than rock salt (even though mine is electric, not crank). Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love to win the ice cream maker. I have so many recipes I want to try.
Home made ice cream yum.
oh my, oh my! a friend let us borrow her ice cream maker this summer. we just gave it back. it was amazing! so many flavors, limitless options!
mmmmm. fingers crossed!
Homemade Ice cream is the best!
I would love a new ice cream maker! Ours died in our last move (the body cracked, and started bleeding blue stuff) and I have been trying to figure out what to replace it with. This one looks perfect!
I recently found a local roadside peach stand that has the best fruit ever! I can just imagine some in homemade peach ice cream. Sigh...
yumm ice cream - sounds so yummy.
Ooooh, what a wonderful way to use some of our abundant fruit supplies!
I was planning to steal my mother's never used IC maker this summer. Alas she can't find it! So I would LOVE to win this one, as my boys and I are IC lovers too!
I've never made icecream and this baby makes it looks easy. Thanks for the chance to win!
mmmmm... ice cream! i've never made ice cream before, but it sounds like fun!
Yum! My girls would love this!
Yummy...homemade ice cream is the greatest! I remember sitting on the porch with my Grandma cranking that ice cream maker handle, running for more rock salt when she needed it....what memories!!! Of course this new one would bring back memories and stories for my little girl!
num num num.
I was just talking to my boyfriend about making ice cream with the fruit we get from the farmer's market! Good timing!
An infinite ice cream headache would be most tolerable when caused by homemade ice cream. Heavenly! Thanks for the chance to win.
yummmm. I would love to ice cream the wild blackberries invading the park by my house.
I am a self-confessed ice cream-o-holic. I seriously have a problem and I'd love to take it to the next level with one of these! :)
Looks like a beautiful machine - would love to have one in my kitchen!!
I have been DYING to get one of these, but have yet to purchase one, would love to win one!
I would love to own this, ours gave out recently due to us making to much this summer. It has been way to hot in Florida this year.
What a lovely giveaway! This is exactly what I need to make the doldrums of August more bearable.
Holy Hanna! On a day like today, I wish we had this now!! Thank you:)
