This recipe was inspired by the Snacktivist group "Snacks for Yall Qaeda" and its unwitting participant, a woman named Mildred who loved all things lemon. The Snacktivists are a great group of people who posted snack memes and really gave the lawbreakers at Malheur a rough time as we shared recipes, laughs, and our favorite community service-oriented charities. This recipe is named for Mildred and her love of all things lemon. Enjoy! To be used in a 4 quart ice cream maker.
