Tweeting...

Just letting you all know, I have started a Twitter account. I still don't really get what the point is {aside from keeping up with Food Truck locations}, I have no idea how to use it nor why I decided to sign up... but there you go. I may figure this thing out eventually and start tweeting like a fiend... I'm thinking not likely. But, in the meantime, you can follow me in preparation for my launch into the social networking ether.

Project Adventure/Bake: Carmela Ice Cream

This post is kind of a dual Adventure-slash-bake project. I am an uber fan of Carmela Ice Cream here in Pasadena. And, I mean uber. In my dreams I have one of each flavor in my freezer at all times. Especially the Fleur De Sel flavor. Ohhh, man. Not only are they at a few farmer's markets in the LA area, they also have a brick-and-morter shop not too far from me.
One day, I received a notice that they were starting ice cream classes! ...Bestill my beating heart... I called up a friend and relayed the amazing news. Next thing we knew we were sitting in the shop's kitchen learning all about infusions. Too cool.

Our class was focused on creating Brown Butter Sage Ice Cream and Cranberry Orange Thyme Sorbet. Needless to say, the class was fun and informative. Carmela founders, Jessica and Zach are obviously very passionate and excited about what they are doing, and it's easy to get caught up in the many ice cream possibilities. 

As a side note: did you know that KitchenAid makes an ice cream maker attachment!?! Oh, that is so going on my wishlist.

Fun times were had by all and I know that I'm going back for more. 

Thanks Carmela for an awesome morning!
