Baking| COFFEE CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIES… and a winner for the ice-cream maker giveaway!
“Baking chocolate-chip cookies – an act that makes all seem right with the world….” Dorie Greenspan on twitter Don’t you just love that line? I chanced upon the tweet from Dorie Greenspan a few days ago and the words stuck to my mind. Strangely enough I had a batch of chocolate chip cookies in the oven at the time. Sounded so true and all seemed good with the world. Come to think of it, cookie baking time is always therapeutic, chocolate chip cookies more so.

Desserts of every kind entice them, and footfalls from the mac attack seem to be never ending! Faux tiramisu, mango mascarpone budini, basil sandwich cookies, flat pathetic macs … the sweet run continues. The last day of mac frenzy left me with something I didn’t particularly relish the thought of … egg yolks , and 6 of them! I’m pretty much an egg yolk hater. I’ve confessed this several times, yet have passion to bake. Eggs…

LOW FAT ROASTED PEACH & PLUM EGGLESS ICE-CREAM…Time to Social-ice!
“My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it’s on your plate – that’s my philosophy”Thornton Wilder I had peaches. I had plums. I had a firm grip on the whisk & the ice-cream scoop! Did I mention a firm resolve to make ice-cream before July flew right by? Does anyone know what’s happening to the summer months? Everyday flies by so fast that I’m having a tough time keeping up with July. Announcing July as the official National Ice Cream Month is a deliciously wicked way to make July enticing… “Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United…
