Out of hibernation


Hey there. It's...been awhile. I've been in winter hibernation, and largely cooking and eating unphotogenic sorts of food like lentil soup and all sorts of similar bean-soup variants. Besides which, until lately there's hardly been enough daylight for talking pretty photos. Even so, there have been a handful of noteworthy kitchen endeavors that I've managed to photograph, so perhaps I'll do a catch-up post sometime soon.

But for now I hope I can make up for my posting absence by presenting you with--not one--but two delicious ice cream creations. Both are from Lula's Sweet Apothecary, which has become quite possibly my favorite food-related place in the city. From the left, ice cream creation #1 is one of the Flurries: vanilla soft serve, homemade peanut butter cup chunks, and graham crackers swirled together with hot fudge on top. #2 is probably the best sundae I've ever had-- vegan or otherwise--the St. Patrick's Day Sundae special: chocolate stout hand-dipped ice cream, hot fudge, peanuts, and whipped cream (I always for forego the cherry, so it was graced with a few chocolate chips instead to make it pretty).

That's all for now. Thanks to the nice people who follow this blog; I really do appreciate the comments. I promise to keep posting more regularly!
