I’m trying really hard not to make this a blog about ice cream, I can’t help that I like it so much!
This weekend, to my mother’s dismay (she would have rather gone to the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory) we stopped at Jacques Torres’ ice cream shop in Dumbo. It opened sometime in the past year and I was finally able to try it a month or two ago. I thought it was quite swell, their chocolate chip cookie ice cream has both chocolate chip cookies AND chocolate chunks in it. Yes, please.
By the way, their Wicked chocolate ice cream is called that because it’s got a spice to it. We tried it but I think I’m a purist when it comes to chocolate. Or I just don’t really like spicy things. I think Chocolate Chip Cookie is the way to go.
And afterward, we took a little walk towards the Brooklyn Bridge. Wasn’t a bad night.
Ignore the blur, please. But look, I caught a plane in the sky!

Lindt makes a chocolate bar with chili in it… it’s surprisingly good, I think, and I don’t like much in my chocolate either. They also make an intense pear, which is interesting, but they added almond slivers, which I could do without. It’s like brownies with nuts… why ruin a perfectly good brownie by putting landmines in it?

Ha, I would agree too many brownies are ruined by the atrocity as is nuts. Yuck. And the Lindt pear sounds interesting.

My Grandma always puts a chunk of chocolate in chili when she makes it so I can see the correlation…but not for me thanks! Chocolate banana for me plz!

Loved his show on the Food Network but not sure I’d eat that.
