walking with some serious determination...
cherries
We also get to take some time to enjoy local baked goods while listening to some live music and watching the chaos of Friendship Square - lots of kids in a small place... Isabelle is content just sitting back and observing while she eats a cinnamon bun.

music & playground madness
And me, well I just love me some cherries...I think more than once this weekend I have given myself a stomach ache by binging on the juicy little fruits....I see some bing cherry ice cream in my near future...
Sunday we made some blueberry pancakes (not as good as my dad's...almost there...) and went to Spring Valley Reservoir for a little walk around the water. We saw osprey, turtles, fish, geese, and a momma duck and ducklings - Isabelle had a little run in with a rock...but other than that it was quite nice.

for dinner we had some delicious fish tacos with all the fixings...yum yum yum
And that was our weekend in a nutshell, 5 more days until the next one... can't wait.
David Lebovitz's Strawberry Sour Cream ice cream has become my standard for fruit-based ice creams, and it's great with cherries.
ReplyDeleteMacerate for 2 hours at room temperature:
450 g cherries, pitted and halved
150 g sugar
1 tbsp kirsch (or vodka)
1 pinch salt
Blend with fruit:
250 g sour cream
250 g heavy cream
Season with lemon juice to taste (1-3 tsp). For cherries, I might strain the mix through a sieve to remove the skins. Chill thoroughly before freezing.
only a tbs of kirsch....that won't hurt the baby... sounds great! Thanks dave!
