re: ice cream makers

In a fit of madness one day, I went out and splurged on a Il' Gelatio (the
ice cream man) made by Simac. It wasn't cheap (~300). I love it. My
waistline doesn't.

The really neat things about the Simac are:

    1. no ice or salt needed, the thing is self refrigerated.

    2. holds about 0.5 gallon...just enough for myself, 5 hoovers, and some
       for the freezer. (the term hoover refers to an entity (human or
       otherwise) with the capacity to consume mass quantities of whatever
       at an alarming rate, ala a hoover vacuum cleaner)

    3. convenience...I just plug it in, pour in the ice cream mix, and let
       it go. 20 minutes later: ice cream.....

The Simac machines are available in most well heeled gourmet or kitchen
shops.

Now......does anyone out there in net.food.land have a *good* recipie for a
real Italian gelato?  So far, everything I have tried comes out tasting like
ice cream.

If you've tried gelato before, nothing else even comes close...If you
haven't, and you are serious about ice cream....find someone who sells the
stuff and try it. Usually, these gelato vendors sell the stuff by the scoop,
because they make it on the premises, rather than say, finding it in a
grocery store.

    suggested vendors: seattle wa area: The Muffin Man, Gepetto's, Procopio.
		       san francisco: Gelato (corner Stanyan and Parnassus)

As a counter-offer, I'll post a good no-cook ice cream recipie to net.foods.
