Success!

The ice cream was every bit as good as hoped. On one hand, it took pretty much most of an evening to make, and then was frozen on the subsequent evening. On the other, it had the texture of Haagen Dazs. I will be making more custard-based ice creams in the future. I'm particularly intrigued by a bourbon ice cream with a sea salt caramel swirl...

Surfeit

Curse you, farm truck, and your temptations.

I have the biggest Napa cabbage I've ever seen in my fridge right now. I didn't know they could get that big. It's taking up an entire crisper drawer all by itself, because it wouldn't fit anywhere else. I stripped the damaged outer leaves. I made a full dinner for myself. I swear it looks no smaller.

In a bout of poor planning, we got ginger ice cream from the dairy. This is poor planning because I still have a couple servings of the cinnamon chocolate ice cream left, plus one poor serving of mango sorbet. This is not good for the attempts at maintainin pants size. But oh man, this ginger ice cream is so good. (Also, more cheddar and some maple chevre. Liking the dairy people who partner with the farm truck. Unrelated to milk products, also got some of the best strawberries I've had in years.)
