What I'm Reading This Week #35
Howdy do and happy last Friday of August! I hope you had a good week and if your weather was like ours, it was FINALLY under 93 degrees. Don't get me wrong, I know sweater weather isn't here but it was nice to not have the AC working overtime (set to 76) starting at 11am every day! It was nice to not walk out to water the garden and walk into a wall of humidity so I will take what I can get. Speaking of which: With this 3" San Marzano , I shall be able to make enough sauce to cover 7.3 spaghetti noodles. 😒 Now let's get to: How to Stock Your Pantry for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes (Ooh, I need to crockpot some black beans for some sweet potato black bean burritos.)

You are right, this would be the perfect filling for a gingerbread ice cream sandwich. Oh how I miss those. Those things signified the start of the Christmas season for me and I would give anything to see them bring those back. I know they still have other things, but nothing worth getting in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteyum.. that would be a tasty treat~~
ReplyDeleteI do like gingerbread, but I don't really go out of my way to find it. One lady at work usually brings some in this time of year, and that's enough for me.
ReplyDeleteI love eggnog though. I can't get enough of that, eggnog everything! The one thing about the way to early Christmas stuff every year that I actually enjoy is seeing eggnog on the shelf at Halloween.
I am a gingerbread fan. Making an actual gingerbread with some real whipped cream has always been one of my easy go-to deserts when I'm having people over for dinner in the winter months. I've also got gingerbread men ready for decorating right now in my house. And when I make my own I always double the amount of ginger in the recipe. I like the extra bite it brings to offset the sweetness.
ReplyDeleteI love ginger but prefer snaps to bread. I make a cookie recipe from Alton Brown that's full of gingery goodness. I'm not sure any gingerbread ice cream would measure up and I'm so cheap I won't spend $5 on a pint. Plus I have issue with milk/cream that get worse every year I age. I'm looking forward to testing a couple recipes for cashew ice cream.
ReplyDeleteI remember those gingerbread ice cream sandwiches! I thought they still had them, but maybe it's mint I'm thinking of...really overwhelming mint. I LOVE gingerbread. Bread, cookies, ice cream, candles, you name it. It's a flavor that never gets old for me. Yum!
