Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Pete eats brown bananas. That means we rarely have brown bananas for banana bread or other scrumptious dishes that require mushy bananas. But I got lucky yesterday—I snagged two bananas that were “brown” by my definition (merely “freckled” by Pete’s definition) and made my first attempt at banana ice cream. It was an enormous success! Even doubtful Pete thought it was so good that we should start buying brown bananas in bulk.
