I Scream for Ice Cream Saturdays!
I don’t know what is more exciting: a warm, sunny day, or
the anticipation of a warm, sunny day.
In the northwest, we spend 7 months waiting for the summer weather to
arrive. As I find myself on the
spring-side of winter, I think I choose the later. The forecast is predicting temperatures in the mid-70’s and
possibly even higher. I can’t help
but start preparing for it now.
What better way than with a sweet and salty ice cream with a
bit of crunch? The inspiration for
this recipe comes from a new ice cream shop I often walk to on Alberta Street,
called Salt and Straw. The shop is
known for its homemade ice cream with adventurous flavor combinations, like Honey
Lemon with Ricotta Walnut Cookies, or Pear and Blue Cheese.
