PICKLES TO RELISH
By: Beverly Ellen Schoonmaker Alfeld

Stirrin' It Up July 3, 2010
Gail Cassady
Manager of History Interpretation
Historic Mount Vernon
3200 Mount Vernon Memorial Highway
Mount Vernon, VA 22121

Music
This Land is Your Land - unknown artists
76 Trombones - US Air Force Heritage Band
Glory, Glory Hallelujah - unknown artists
An American Trilogy - Elvis Presley

Chef John Folse’s Favorite Frozen Treat Machines

Top Pick:
Musso Lussino
It’s got style, it’s got beauty and it’s a performer, too.  Retails for about $600 and features a 250-watt motor, 1½-quart capacity and about a 30 minute turnaround.

Power Pick:
Musso Pola
For those willing to sacrifice a little design for pure power and extra servings. Retails for about $1,100 and features a 300-watt motor, 2-quart capacity and a batch every 20 minutes.

Bargain Pick:
Cuisinart ICE-50 Supreme Ice Cream Maker
Not as finely engineered as its counterparts, perhaps, but for the price, it’s hard to beat. Just $250 will get you a reliable, user-friendly ice cream machine. It can take up to an hour to create about a quart, but the results are well worth the wait.
