Comment on bananas foster ice cream by genuineimitationgallery

thanks so much for your questions!

i have a cuisinart ice cream machine that i use for making sorbet and ice cream. it’s really easy to use, but is kind of loud.
yes, i did pour more of the banana rum mixture in than just half. i had probably 1/3 left over. i really just did it to taste. if you go that route know that the flavors get muted when the ice cream freezes. when i tasted it initially i was worried that it was a little too rummy, but now it tastes just perfect!

good luck!

a couple of questions:

1. what type of machine/gadget did you use to make your ice cream?

2. although you didn’t pour in all of the banana and rum bit, did you pour in more than the proper proportion in light of the other half of the recipe?

…my wife loves ice cream, so I make take a crack at this. plus, what’s one more kitchen gadget?

stumbled upon your blog via the esquire tag… I subscribe to esquire for all the quick and easy articles, but every now and then they have some pretty meaty pieces too.

How about trying it with the Peche (peach) Lambic? I’ve only had the drink itself, but it is so delicious.

Love Americone Dream! It’s my new fave Ben & Jerry’s:-).

Caprese salad…serious yum. Makes me wish my tomatoes were ripe…might have to hit the farmer’s market.

Hi! Thanks for adding me to your blog roll. SO I LOVE 1. that you save copies of Vogue from 2004 and 2. your new haircut. LOVE IT!!! I vote for the shorter cut although both are very flattering. If I had straight hair, it would be cut like that immediately!

Since it is 10,000 degrees here all summer long. I’ve become a big fan of cold salads (and the grill, which I know you don’t have access to) along with stuff I can cook on the stovetop. I recently did a very yummy cold salad with green beans, corn cilantro, jalepeno, and grape tomatoes. I served it with black bean quesidillas and home made guac. Oh so good. You could throw some chicken or shrimp in the quesidillas or go fajitas style and add some peppers and onions …

My other big standby is cold peanut noodle salad with chicken. There are a gazilion recipes out there and all of them are good.

Oh and if i’m feeling really fancy I’ll do a cold cous cous salad and get some of that yummy Indian bread.

Other than that … I have one word for you Sandwhiches …… and home made sweet potato chips (although if you don’t have a fryer, that can mean the oven again.)

happy cooking!

Comment on reasons why i love the farmers’ market by genuineimitationgallery

devon,
i usually cut them into 1/2″ pieces and saute them. they don’t need to cook for a really long time, maybe 5 mintues. use them where you would use garlic or an onion. they’re much milder that garlic. i most recently used them in a risotto with zucchini, but they’re also good in a stir fry or a pasta dish. i bet they’d be good in a scramble too.

enjoy those garlic chutes! they won’t be around much longer…
