My husband, too, is like a kid at Christmas. Although the reviews are excellent, being from Missouri, I was skeptical and had to see for myself. I ordered the TSV, which truly was a great value. The scoop is very nice and the recipe book is invaluable. So many yummy things to try. I have been buying over-ripe bananas like crazy, and so far have made strawberry, blueberry, and cinnamon. I'm toying with the idea of making coffee today. This tastes just like ice cream and really satisfies my eternal craving for it. What a great buy!
