i scream, you scream

New month, new post. I spend a lot of time cooking at work and at home, so why not write about food that I've been making? Well, let me back up a little. As kids, Jeff and I both loved the same ice cream flavor: Fenton's Swiss Milk Chocolate. It's a malted milk ice cream filled with tiny slivers of chocolate. I think I mentioned this in our blogger profile. Anyway, back to the present. Jeff and I are now old and we're suckers for the nostalgia of our childhood. This week I decided to make Swiss Milk Chocolate ice cream at home although (going back to the growing old part) the extreme cold of ice cream makes our teeth hurt. I made some minor tweaks to David Lebovitz's malted milk ice cream and came up with something quite delicious and not unlike the original. Thank you, thank you, David Lebovitz. This man is my hero. Among many wonderful recipes, he's got one for candied bacon ice cream. I love salt, and I love it in desserts. This guy speaks my culinary language. Here's a pic of my Swiss Milk Choc ice cream. Ok, ok. I'll throw a couple in of the kids too.
