I Scream, You Scream

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing weekend. Jordy was home on Saturday (which is a rarity, given his surgical intern schedule), so we went for a little family trip to the greenmarket. I scored some unreal peaches, and set about making a crisp. Not content to let the crisp go un-creamy-ed, I also made this brown butter ice cream. Folks, this is the real deal-- our dinner guests on Saturday night said it was the best ice cream they'd ever had, and I would think that they were just trying to flatter me, but I totally agreed. And as you all know, I am not shy about my undying love for ice cream, and my desire to eat it as a meal. This may be an understatement, but to state it correctly would require some profanity that would make most of you blush, so let's just say this: I am absolutely cuckoo over this recipe. I was going to take a picture on Sunday of the left-over ice cream, but it turns out there wasn't even a little bit left. I think I may have even caught Jordy in the freezer licking the container clean.

The fall weather also usually gets me down, since it signals the end of the official ice cream eating season, but this ice cream dish isn't summery--the flavor profile is perfect for autumn desserts--apple pie, plum cobbler, and even pumpkin pies. With these great ice cream accessories, and that perfect recipe, I will be extending ice-cream-as-a-meal to a year-round sport. There are plenty of spots on my team, if you care to join.

These may be my favorite thing ever. I don't like the taste of cones, but love the process of eating ice cream cones. Dilemna: solved.

This ice cream scoop blows me away. Everything in the Herriott Grace shop is pure perfection. And I would love tea towel when it's freezing outside as a reminder that summer is on its way back again.

By the looks of her Flickr stream, you'll also have to race me for her new spoons and flour scoop, too.); Right: Ice Cream Lollies tea towel, Mr.PS

Ice cream + letterpress = love, and even though it's not a bowl, I could totally eat ice cream sandwiches off of this I is for Ice Cream plate.

Have a great Monday, everyone, and I hope that you get to eat your favorite thing for at least one meal today. I'm off to have some coffee and rev up the ice cream maker!
