Journaling January: tea or coffee

[krait]

ride_4ever prompted me with: tea or coffee?

I only drink tea, but I enjoy coffee as a flavour, generally in desserts. Tiramisu might be my ultimate favourite dessert, though there's some stiff competition!

Coffee seems to go especially well in ice creams, too. I mentioned my ice-cream-making hobby in one comment on the tea post; one of the best ice creams I've ever made (though I can't take credit for it - I used a recipe) was a tiramisu ice cream! It uses real marscapone cheese. My contribution was the addition of ladyfingers soaked in a mix of coffee and Kahlua, which I folded in to the finished ice cream for a more tiramisu-like experience. It was incredible!

There's some marscapone in the fridge, so another batch is in my future! After I make the amaretto-peach ice cream currently in progress, anyway. :D


...This turned into an ice cream post. Sorry, ride_4ever!

No apology necessary for this post turning into an ice cream post! If I'd been an earlier subscriber to your blog and knew about your ice cream making I might even have asked about that anyways.

(BTW, speaking of ice cream, when I was in high school I worked at Baskin-Robbins and got to eat so much free ice cream...and people kept telling me I was going to get tired of ice cream...but nope...I just kept right on loving ice cream for the next many, many, many years.)

I don't believe I would ever get tired of ice cream, either, especially not with 31 flavours (and Capuccino Blasts) to cycle through! :D

Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever mentioned my ice cream hobby on DW before...

That tiramisu ice cream sounds absolutely delicious.

It's kind of a pain to make, and it's certainly not cheap, but it is worth it. ♥

In terms of habitual drink I am a coffee person, but a good tea is a wonderful thing. To this day I think of you (and reflect on how kind your tea-sharing was!) every time I drink tea!

Aww, you're very welcome! I do it every year, because I enjoy it, too. ♥


(I keep meaning to PM you, by the way - any plans for another FMA chat in the works? I missed the last two despite wanting to attend, and I'm determined not to let it happen again!)

Next one will be for RoyxEd Day, on the evening of May 15th EST (a little early, but 5/20 is a Thursday). We will also be having an after-party chat the following weekend on the 22nd!
