It’s time to address what’s been going on over here. I’ve been working on an ice cream project. Okay, but that’s all I’m going to say for now. As I’ve mentioned before, making ice cream requires a lot of egg yolks, thus leaving you with a lot of egg whites. When I first started making [...]

A few posts ago I briefly mentioned a blood orange olive oil cake that I made and loved two years ago but that disappointed me when I made it this year because the oranges I bought were bitter. I was turned off to blood oranges for a few weeks, but I eventually had to give [...]

A month ago or a couple months ago or something (I’ve sorta lost track of time) I hired a web designer person to help me redesign the blog. When Nick and I had our preliminary meeting, he confessed to me that he was tinkering with homemade beet ice cream. I think it goes without saying [...]

Rich Vanilla Bean, Peanut Butter with Chocolate-Covered Pretzels and Peanut Butter Cups, Raspberry Swirl with Vienna Fingers No matter how many different ice cream flavors I churn out, the husband remains loyal to his all-time favorite: vanilla. So lame. Who is he? True, this vanilla ice cream is incredible. Super smooth, intensely rich and creamy, [...]

Blah blah blah the weird ice cream flavors have to stop. They will stop when I am DEAD. I am not the only one interested in off-the-wall ice cream flavors. Not the only one by far. And this one wasn’t even my idea. A friend of mine emailed me to let me know that Momofuku [...]

Before I give you the backstory on this one, I must gush and rave. This cake is f*ing amazing. It is sooo f*ing good. Good enough to necessitate expletives, Dale? Really? Hell f*ing yes! If I ever write a cookbook or open a restaurant, this cake will surely be featured. It is just so delicious. Nothing fancy, [...]

Does blue cheese-honey ice cream sound good to you? Take a moment to think about it. It could be good, no? You may be a little skeptical, but you’d try it, wouldn’t you? It’s got the sweet, it’s got the savory, and ooh, it would probably be very nice drizzled with honey and topped with some [...]

Unsatisfied (duh) by the recent raspberry sorbet, I was sitting in front of my computer the other night idly musing over what my next ice cream flavor should be, and (I wasn’t even looking for a recipe) this just popped out at me. I took it as a sign. I got up from my chair that instant, checked my spice [...]

dale, i’ve realized throughout this weekend that your gift to me was without a doubt the most thoughtful present i have ever received. seriously. you put all of my favorite things into one glorious cardboard jar and you put lots of work into making and combining all of those exact select favorite things of mine. [...]

So let’s see…five posts so far, two are ice cream. Yup, that seems about right. I mean, I clearly had to make this ice cream, for two reasons: “speculoo” I still had a ton of lemons from the big bag of organic lemons I bought to make those lemon bars. How many times can you use the [...]

Whenever anyone asks me how I’m not obese, I answer honestly: I hit the gym…a good amount! Now what I don’t usually tell them is that, quite serendipitously, my gym happens to be right across the street from the good grocery store (14 blocks from my apartment), so that whenever I “need” to go grocery [...]
