so i know all i have to talk about these days is food, but when you’re lucky enough to have your favorite person ever living with you, and this favorite person of yours LOVES good food, it’s pretty hard not to.
so favorite person is a big dessert man, and he HAS to have something sweet before bed. he can’t go to sleep unless he does. so for a while he was on an ice cream kick and happened upon this “maple blondie” flavor of ben & jerry’s. it’s maple ice cream with blond brownie chunks and maple caramel swirl. freakin yum, right? exactly. however, the bullshit was that it was a limited batch, and we only managed to enjoy it a couple of times before it was out of stores completely.
so my first ambitious project for the summer is to recreate this ice cream. i’m probably going to bake the brownies today and see if they’re even good (i’ve never liked blondies until i had them in this ice cream), then make some italian meatloaf for dinner, then make the actual ice cream custard early tomorrow because i always forget how long it takes to cool before you can put it in the maker.
yet again, i’m going to tell you how much i love the fine cooking magazine. when we were in the store yesterday they had the “best of chicken” issue out, and we found another 50 or so recipes that we just have to have. i don’t even know if i have enough days in my life to make all of this stuff, but i’m excited to try. poor D is having some serious dental work done today though, so it’s mushy stuff for dinner today, if he can even chew. cross your fingers for him. i’m probably going to be playing nurse to my little pain baby tonite ♥
