After making two quarts of sorbet this past week, I got up bright and early Sunday morning and headed over to Sur la Table to make…ice cream. Not just one, but four different kinds. I guess you could say having the sorbets was the equivalent of doing conditioning before a marathon. I was just warming [...]

When it comes to sorbets, gelatos and ice creams I like flavors that have one main ingredient. Sometimes it’s fun to have chunks, swirls, or sauces of other things, but there is nothing like the intense taste of a single flavor.

After my unsuccessful first attempt at making ice cream (put the liquid in the maker when it was too hot and never solidified) I picked sorbet. To increase my chances of [...] June 23, 2009
Another sunny day, perfect for a BBQ, and celebrating Father’s Day. I was trying to keep it simple and not get overly ambitious with too many dishes and yet somehow still spent 3 hours prepping and grilling. Isn’t it worth it though for good food? The menu was All American and it somehow worked out [...] May 17, 2009
