pomegranate ice cream or creepy curdle disaster?

• pomegranate juice
• sugar
• milk (2% and/or whole)

mix together.
(taste it to see what's what.)



ice cream make it.


freeze.



eat.



ok, pause.
hear the back story before you make this.
or before you think this could be awesome.
'cause the jury is still out on this bad boy.


read on.



so,
i bought pomegranate juice
from the fancy new white people store down the block
with the express purpose of making pomegranate sorbet.

but turns out,
pomegranate juice smells weird.

and the organic milk i bought,
sucks.

(i seriously need to pull my life together 
and get more ronnybrook.
'cause ronnybrook doesn't suck. 
and my life isn't complete without milk. 
lots and lots of milk.)



so i thought,
what the hey?
mix it.
combine it.
get rid of both at the same time.


weird thing though,
can pomegranate juice mix with milk?
cause it looked kind of weird.

not quite a curdle,
but not quite right either.

whatever.

i still put it in the ice cream maker to see what happened.

and really,
both the juice and the milk suck big time,
so if i "waste" some,
no bigs.

but.

it's a creepy color too.

ugh. 

maybe it'll taste good??

 stress.

stinky feet and flower vines

tattoos are complete.

at least for now.

rockstar.

grapefruit sorbet

• 3 cups grapefruit juice
• 1/2 cup sugar
• less than 1/2 cup water

dissolve sugar in water on the stove. 

mix with the juice.

ice cream maker that bad boy. 

freeze. 

eat. 

delicious.

(ps. this is stupid easy to make. 

double awesome.)






so i really wish i made this ice cream today.
or any time recently for that matter.
it has been stupid gross out,
and it has been bumming me out.
hard.


and citrus is so happy.
so enjoy some citrus happiness.



and look forward to new recipes soon.
cause i need some new flavors in my freezer.
and now that i have my rockin' new book,
the ice cream calls to me.


besides i only have two flavors left.
how is having only two choices even remotely acceptable?

it's not.
at all.

chili pepper hot chocolate

ever since i saw chocolat 

with johnny depp and juliette binoche 

and the awesome chocolate treats,

i have been obsessed with spicy hot chocolate.

i get it everywhere it is offered. 

spicy chocolate is pretty rockstar too. 

i mean it is just too weird a combination. 

but also a crazy awesome combination. 

so i went to city bakery with av and mm

and we got some chili pepper hot chocolate. 

and (obviously) pretzel croissants. 

and as far as spicy hot chocolate goes, 

this was pretty good. 

although, i am always in search of spicier.

but it was good. 

and now i am regretting not getting their little hot chocolate to go boxes.

you can buy their hot chocolate in a box,

take it home,

heat and enjoy. 

rockstar. 

and as if that wasn't fatty enough, 

we went to momofuku milk bar.

and got the crack pie 

and a compost cookie.

hello, fatties.

nice to meet you. 

and then,

we went to good beer.

to get beer. 

and continue the fatness.

way to really rock the fatty train.

delicious.






ps. i'm sure dolcetto will do an actual review 
of at least 2 of these places in the near future 
so when she does i will be sure to link to it.

updated: check out dolcetto's pretty hot chocolate and pretzel croissant pictures!

just because

don't you just love gifts that are "just because"?

i know i do. 

i mean, 

giving a gift on a holiday, 

fine. 

but giving 

(or getting)

a gift at some random time just because, 

awesome.

i am the queen at just because gifts. 

why shouldn't someone get a gift when it isn't their birthday?

why can't they get something cause it's wednesday?

or because i saw something awesome that they would like?

giving a just because gift is almost as good as getting one.

and the other day i got one. 

rockstar.

and now it is time to embrace the fatty 

and make some new fun i'scream.
