Nothing is as rewarding as a dish of homemade ice cream for dessert. Top off a scoop with a chocolate-chip cookie.

In 1843 Nancy Johnson got a patent on a machine to make ice cream by hand. This was an ingenious device that provided a real treat to everyone in the U.S., if not the world. Milk, sugar and flavoring, such...

At auction recently, I came across a White Mountain hand crank ice cream maker that reminded me of the electric Cusinart that I bought a few years ago and barely used. The vintage maker was a lot more interesting, though.

Instead, wherever I've lived over the years, I've always sought out my own little secret gardens. Often, it's just been a neighbors front yard, overflowing with roses, lavender and bunches of alyssum. It is my secret joy to…
