Friday Lust

Friday to me is the perfect day to discuss the fun gadgets that I'm lusting after for my kitchen. Today is an absolutely gorgeous day in LA, and I can't think of anything better to accompany it than fresh ice cream. I'm sans ice cream maker right now, but I can't think of anything I'd rather have in my kitchen right now than this lovely from Williams-Sonoma:

I think that as a home cook, it can be very easy to go overboard on kitchen gadgets. I've found that unless you are very savvy in selecting them, your kitchen can start looking pretty junky and after a while you have things falling out of cupboards onto you (I speak from experience on this one). 

What has me convinced on this one however, is not only is it supposed to be a phenomenal ice cream maker, but if you purchase it now, you not only get a to die for discount, but you also get a $25 gift certificate to Williams-Sonoma.

Also, I got a homegrown kumquat delivery from a family member last night, which is adding to my ice cream maker temptation:

(The fun jar my kumquats are in used to be what they sold jam in the 1960's in- love it!)

I'm thinking I may give in and run to Williams-Sonoma this weekend and make some kumquat ice cream this weekend. Y-U-M!
