Curry ice-cream ... hmm, I bet it would be good :-) I realized why I don't make homemade ice-cream more often ... because I see how many calories go into it. I might have to explore this as you mentioned, by buying a tub of ice-cream (i.e. fat free) and stirring in curry spices. Will let you know if I try it!Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08455981776033579827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21016738.post-70356081056302122432008-03-31T07:06:00.000-07:002008-03-31T07:06:00.000-07:00NICE!<BR/><BR/>Allen, you have to try curry ice cream...seriously. A friend of mine made some a few years ago and I've been meaning to fool around with it, but not having much of a sweet tooth most of the time (...really, I don't...)... It can be as simple as getting a good vanilla ice cream, softening it, adding the curry and refreezing. Having tasted it and knowing how well that worked made me more confident that my curry frosting would.Paulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17057118331699121742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21016738.post-89594824783097568222008-03-31T06:53:00.000-07:002008-03-31T06:53:00.000-07:00Curried popcorn sounds like a great idea.

Ever since I ate there I have been wanting to try making it! Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm a college student up in North Dakota, so the spicy edge of this popcorn is taking the edge off this chilly day.
