Day 5—Chamomile Chardonnay

5 days down—25 to go! And so far it has been a lot of fun.

Today’s ice cream was too alcoholic to bring to work, so I invited Brooke and Jo Ann over to try it. The perfect way to end the week, amazing food, good friends, James McAvoy and ice cream laced with wine. (Just to clarify, James McAvoy was not at my house, we watched Penelope because Brooke had never seen it and I take every opportunity I can to watch movies with him as the star.)

So, I drove through traffic to get us dinner from Aladdin’s and this is why…

This food is so good, especially the hot sauce. It makes me want to forsake grocery shopping and just buy food from Aladdin’s.

So we ate dinner, took a brief (and I mean brief) tour of my condo…

Then ate some ice cream. But not too much. Because it was good. But not GOOOOOOD!

It was fruity with a hint of floral notes. Sweet and creamy with a tang of Chardonnay. Not one that I would make again anytime soon, but still tasty. Especially the next day when I topped a roasted peach with a scoop of it. Now that was gooood.

Moving on to next week, I am off on Thursday and Friday for some surprise R and R. But I don’t want to make ice cream every day for the rest of my life so I’m doubling up on Monday and we’ll only do four flavors.

So our flavors for this upcoming week are…

Monday – Strawberry Buttermilk and Backyard Mint

Tuesday – Salty Caramel

Wednesday – either Dark Chocolate or Buckeye State, we’ll see what I feel like making
