Lavender Ice Cream

So, if you've read my little "About me" section, you know I LOVE Lavender ice cream (enough to include it in my About Me). Seriously, my devotion to the stuff is a little awkward, especially when you're asked "what's your favorite ice cream?" by a little kid and when you tell them lavender, they look at you like you're absolutely the dumbest person on earth as they reply "But that's a FLOWER..." Well, no duh, little kid-who-can't-drink-or-drive-or-go-to-the-bathroom by yourself, but it's also an ice cream.

And a delicious one at that.

If you've never had anything lavender flavored, try some. Shortbread cookies are awesome too. Heck, if you ask me nice enough, I'll make them for you! I had someone tell me that it sounded like eating a candle. It's not! I think cinnamon dolce frappachinos taste like eating a candle, though. No joke. "But KM", you ask, "where can I try lavender ice cream, it's not like you can buy it at the grocery store?" Well, my dear reader, you can buy it at SOME grocery stores. Namely ones like Whole Foods, Triple H Mart, and various smaller grocery chains that carry offbeat brands.

You can also go here and try it:

This is the Triple Creek Ranch and it is by far and away one of my most fun family vacations- more than Europe or the Caribbean by far. It's in Darby Montana and they are simply amazing. And they, my friends, have lavender ice cream for lunch AND dinner and I had it for BOTH the entire time we were there.

And so I kinda blame them for this project: I really, really, really want to make lavender ice cream for our reception. Yes, ice cream. For 165 people. My mom keeps getting all tripped up about the logistics of it- namely, how we're going to make and store all of it. I don't blame her, but wouldn't that be AWESOME?!?! We've made it before at home and it was great, so I don't see why we couldn't just... make it, and serve it. At the same time we serve coffee and tea after dinner, you know? Anyone know if its actually possible to rent cold storage? I can't imagine you can't... I mean, people freeze big game they've shot, right?
