36. I've tried making ice cream.

I didn't buy the right kind of machine; turns out you really need one that scrapes the sides. Also, as it happens it's quite expensive to make your own ice cream. Still, it tasted good.

Ever heard of a band called Cibo Matto? They were a pair of Japanese-American women from New York with a band with an Italian name meaning "Crazy Food". Pretty good band, actually. They had a song called "White Pepper Ice Cream," and for 20 years now I've been wondering how that tastes.
