Is it here where I tell you that the new fella cooked for ME, and while
I don't have a recipe, and holy crap was it decadent, it was seriously
good? Grilled hotdogs, wrapped in bacon, grilled with BBQ sauce and
topped with caramelized onions and blue cheese crumbles. On grilled
naan. He also grilled some asparagus, because hey, gotta stay healthy,
right? It was an amazing dinner, and it had been so long since someone
cooked for me (he also made me a pretty amazing veggie omelet the next
day), that seriously, it could have been Stouffer's and I'd have been
thrilled. ;-)

resp:239 I always say that I would put up with a lot of BS from any guy
who cooks me dinner :)
I also have to say that his "swankie frankie" version sounds very
delicious.

Ice cream machine update summary: Oh my. Who would have thought
research could be so much fun!
Details: I've made four different frozen desserts in the ice cream
maker thus far. A full, rich, butter pecan ice cream (NY style), a
serious vanilla ice cream (Philadelphia style), a raspberry sherbet, a
mango sorbet and there is a batch of cantaloupe sorbet chilling to be
churned in a couple of hours. What I'm finding that isn't a surprise is
an improved flavor over even premium store bought. What I didn't
anticipate is how much more expensive it is to make quality ice cream at
home. The ingredients add up especially when using vanilla beans.
Here are a few links to those recipes:

Yes, the cost of milk and cream and eggs can be ridiculous. My friend
made ice cream, and you could tell he cheaped out - and at that point,
just buy what's on sale at the store.

The cheap ice cream at the store does not have eggs.

I got nice mangos at Krogers.
The cantaloupe sorbet came out great! I used Midori instead of vodka. It
comes in at 88 calories a serving without resorting to artificial
sweetener. That's what I was looking to accomplish when I started this
ice creeam making thing.

You can get canned ripe mango pulp at Indian food stores.

Overnight guests tonight and I'd like to serve something a little
different for breakfast. So I had a trial-run of this recipe this morning
and it's quite good. I made enough crepes for tomorrow, will put together
a fruit salad tonight, and the morning will be golden. That's the plan at
least. ;-)

I've been making lots of familiar dishes lately so not much to link to
here. But for tonight I made a new recipe for Fried Rice with Tofu and
it's very good. The only change I made was in using brown rice. This one
is a keeper.
