In my never-ending battle to make myself even chubbier, I am proud to say that I have a new weapon.
I finally broke out the ice cream maker that’s been sitting on the shelf for a while. This baby is super-simple to use and gives you soft-serve type ice cream in about 40 minutes. And you can pop the output in the freezer to let it set harder. I suppose you can make sorbet with this thing, too, but that would be verging on the healthy, and we don’t want that, do we?
Batch number one was a “control,” as the scientists would say, and I was happy with the process and my ability to not screw it up. I went with a simple french-style (i.e. eggs) vanilla to which I added roasted almonds at the very end.
You and I know that this will not end with a simple vanilla, right? I think it’s about time we made ice cream dangerous!
Look for more of that in the coming weeks…for now, you’ll have to tide yourself over with some smörg.
