Thing Five: Homemade ice cream

I am reluctant to get an ice cream maker. There are good reasons for this. First, it's a unitasker. Second, I have approximately ZERO cabinet and counter space to spare in my kitchen. Third, it probably wouldn't be long before I could no longer fit in my kitchen myself. That said, I do intend to get a Kitchenaid stand mixer someday, and when I do, I will almost certainly get the ice cream attachment, because how could I resist? I haven't done much contemplation on the idea of the perfect ice cream base, but I've done PLENTY of thinking about flavors, so here is a partial list of some I'd love to try.

* Cardamom-rosewater, with little bits of those crunchy sesame seed candies crumbled into it, and maybe some bits of rose Turkish delight
* Atol de elote (sweet corn with cinnamon)
* Mexican chocolate (dark chocolate with cinnamon and a little chipotle, probably with chocolate chunks)
* Lazy Daisy Cake (modeled on a cake from my childhood, probably a vanilla custard base ice cream with bits of broiled coconut-caramel topping)
* Peanut butter ice cream with fudge swirls and chocolate covered pretzel bits (probably been done by Ben and Jerry's already)
* Mixed herb ice cream (rosemary, lavender, mint, maybe some lemon verbena)
* Mango sorbet with lime and cayenne
* Hello Dolly bar (chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, graham cracker bits, coconut, pecans, and some dulce de leche)
* Honey. Honey, with honey and honey. Varietal honey ice creams of many kinds.
