A Question for the experts out there:

Does anyone know of any ill effects on flavor or texture if you mix your ice cream ingredients and freeze them before they've been run through an ice cream maker, then defrost them later and run them through the machine?

I usually pre-mix all of my sorbets and then arrive, defrost, and get frozen at baitcon without incident. This year I was thinking of doing the same with the cream flavors to keep me out of the kitchen when I arrive but I don't want the flavors to suffer.

My ambitious flavor, and ride board Sunday note?

Ice cream crew? I'd like to make bananas foster ice cream, and am looking for some kinda advanced advice, on swirls, made-ahead banana and alcohol wisdom, syrups, etc. Somehow, my email (yes, altered correctly) didn't get a response. I have great, even amusing, recipes, am doing test runs tomorrow and Thursday.

Also my ride board note wasn't noticed-- is anyone leaving Sunday for Boston around 1-2pm? I have an important evening commitment, much to my woe!
