Coconut sugar seems to be okay in moderation in Stage 3 and beyond; I wouldn’t use it in the beginning, though (and even now, I have to be very careful with it). There’s a good discussion of vegetable glycerin on the Whole Approach website, at http://www.wholeapproach.com. Hope that helps!

Great looking recipe! I’ve promised myself to try out more dairy-free and soy-free ice creams this summer and have to add this to my list to test out.

I’d never seen rhubarb ice cream, that’s a great idea! Now I *have* to have it, and soon!

Wow, Ricki! I made some rhubarb ice cream last year but your ice cream cicks my ice creams butt. (I’m off to prepare my ice cream maker now, so I can make this soon.)

our dog julie gets away with a lot because she’s so cute, too. ah ha ha! Chaser and Elsie are the most adorable – all the pictures of them playing made me so very happyfaced! thanks so much for giving alternative directions for those without an ice cream maker. dan and i are going to get one, but we’ve gotta do some research and see which one will work the best for us. you sound crazy busy, Ricki – hang in there! you’ll be enjoying the summer soon – and thanks for another glorious recipe, my friend!

Kiersten,
Vacation? What’s that? Sorry about missing the rhubarb! We’ll try to aim for a broader-season food next time.

Valerie,
Sorry to hear it. Hope things calm down (for both of us) soon!

Jacqueline,
Yes, I do need to take a break. Fortunately, I have a study week coming up in a few.

Bianca,
Yes, she IS more cat-like: Elsie is a bit more stand-offish and much, MUCH quieter.

River,
Thanks so much! And of course The Girls appreciate it, too.

Johanna,
They’d only be allowed the tea cups if they could hold their pinkies up in the air at the same time holding it. . . but since they don’t HAVE pinkies, oh, well!

Voracious,
I’d love to have my Girls be part of a herd! They are pretty attached to each other, which can make it a bit difficult to get them to interact nicely with other dogs.

Every where I look these days I see delicious recipes using rhubarb! I’m not sure I’ve ever even tasted the stuff, and I know I haven’t cooked with it. I hope that I can find it here because I REALLY want to, and I think this will have to be my first recipe – it looks DELICIOUS!

Your pups would be best friends with my big boy Jack! They would make the cutest little herd!
