I will let you know how it turns out!!
P.S. Tillamook was my first area on my mission in Oregon. I loved this area and I love there dairy products. Right now you can only get cheese and butter in Arizona and there is nothing better. However if you ever visit the Northwest you have to try Tillamook Brown Cow Ice Cream. YUMMY!!!

Okay - this is so funny!! I'll tell you why! I have this EXACT recipe and make it all the time. Jordan (as you know) served in Oregon too and has a thing for Tillamook stuff - he really wants the ice cream but can't find it at any store. Anyway, one day he looked online for Tillamook stuff and found a bunch of recipes. This is one we found together and I decided to try it out. I'm probably a bad guy for doing this, but I never use Tillamook cheese. Just whatever is cheapest at the store and in my fridge. It's GOOD though! My kids love it!! I'm sure it would be even better if I used the tillamook.
Ok well we were on the internet at the same time, so by the time my comment posted you had already made a new post. So anyway, I left a comment on your last post. If your like me you never check your old posts for new comments so I thought I better do another one just in case. :)
