Good-bye Pinkberry, hello frozen yogurt maker. After coming across this recipe for homemade frozen yogurt and coming to terms with the fact that way too much of our monthly food budget was being spent on a tiny cup of frozen goodness with berries mixed in, I made the trek to Bed Bath and Beyond and hauled back a frozen yogurt/ice cream maker so that we could eat more locally, literally. Since I've been working on school stuff more than usual lately, Mark's become the froyo chef around here, and he's great at it. He's made this basic recipe, strawberry frozen yogurt, a grapefruit sorbet that didn't quite pan out, and a grapefruit frozen yogurt which made good use of the aforementioned failed sorbet. And, as if that's not exciting enough, we can really take it up a notch on the homemade scale by making our own yogurt with which to make our own frozen yogurt! Since I'm already in the habit of making our yogurt, this is truly exciting. Now we just need to get ourselves some milk cows and we'll never have to leave the house again.
