Summer panic has hit. While the rest of the country has been sweltering in record highs this summer, Northern California is experiencing the coldest summer on record for the past 50 years. Really, I kid you not. Our high the other day was 61 degrees. That’s not summer!
So I’m panicking a little here – what if I don’t get ANY summer?!? Yes, I had a brief vacation down to the depths of the Alabama Gulf Coast and, yes, it was Africa hot, but that was in early June and now it’s September and I need heat.
If you’re hankering for some homemade ice cream, the DeLonghi Gelato Maker available at Sur La Table looks awesome. The whole thing is totally automatic and it brings your icy treats to below freezing, which is the only way to make low fat ice cream or frozen yogurt. It goes for $299.95.

Well, even if I can’t get the heat I can get the ice cream. Not exactly what a chilly San Francisco summer day calls for, but one can dream.
