We are in Ice Cream Heaven
Following the 4th of July dusting off of the ice cream maker with the vanilla caramel pecan ice cream recipe courtesy of a Diva Marketing post we have been including our ice cream maker in our daily routine. Today’s email brought another heavenly picture and two divinely inspired ice cream recipes from 101 Cookbooks. One is titled Batch Family Mountain Cherry Coconut Ice Cream and the other is simply called Cherry Ice Cream. We will be trying one tomorrow night.
101 Cookbooks is the source of our new all time favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, posted in April….this recipe surpassed even our former all time favorite chocolate child cookie recipes from December 2003 and December 2004. Now, I know the exact definition of the perfect chocolate chip cookie varies greatly among aficionados…but for us, the measure is degree of chewiness and the April version is it.
Yes, searching for the perfect chocolate chip cookie is a winter pastime and searching for the perfect ice cream concoction is our summer pastime….and just like my Silver Palate cookbooks were for many years the source that never let me down, 101 Cookbooks has become that place in recent times so I have high hopes for the cherry ice cream, although I have not yet decided which recipe to try. The definition for our perfect ice cream concoction is different than our definition for chocolate chip cookies….it is most everything we try that starts with Vanillia Ice Cream and moves on from there.
If You Need Another Reason To Love Blogs
Well, I was all ready planning on homemade ice cream to complete our 4Th of July dinner but was still trying to decide on a flavor. The ice cream maker belongs to my son and for several weeks we have been talking about getting it out and cranking it up…..since he has been preoccupied with his snow cone maker lately, it has really been me talking about it and him shaking his head in disinterested agreement versus the constant reminders to get on it Mom signaling real interest. However, we have adult guests coming over for dinner and I’m thinkin’ ice cream….the kids can try the new root beer flavor snow cone syrup
So…as I perused my Blogline feeds I noticed that Diva Marketing had a post entitled Ice Cream which was raving about a certain ice cream recipe that was available at the Amateur Gourmet. The picture of the concoction was enough to convince me of what we would be having post fireworks tonight.
So, Happy 4Th….I am off to the store (for the 92ND time today). This recipe has our name all over it! Thanks Diva and Amateur Gourmet!
