InnSane

OK. So, what new ice cream will I be serving? Yes indeedy. That Cuisinart, $40 machine, has served me well.

I made a banana, strawberry and saffron ice cream with vanilla. I also made a very strong vanilla, using Tahitian, Mexican AND Madagascar vanilla and then at the end I added black berries and some dark chocolate chips.

For Valentine’s day, Kim and I went out to the Arlington House, a nice restaurant. One of the desserts that they served was chocolate pate. Basically, it was 55%-60% shaved dark chocolate. I think I’ll get an 85% dark chocolate block and do the same for the April workshops. I think I’ll serve that with a chocolate mouse and a chocolate chip cookie. Yes, I just stole the Arlington House dessert except MY chocolate chip cookies are better.
