By making (and eating) ice cream. </p> <p class="p1">Did you know that George Washington also had a penchant for ice cream? In fact, he spent over $200 on ice cream during the summer of 1790. That’s like $5,080 today. (That’s based on the increase in CPI from 1790 to today, just so you know). </p> <p class="p1">He also was an ice cream maker himself. Inventory records show he had two pewter ice cream pots, and his journal from 1786 documents his “ice operation”:</p> <p class="p3"><em>“Renewed my Ice operation to day, employing as many hands as I conveniently could in getting it from the Maryland shore, carting and pounding it.” </em>(via <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/02/20/147054700/george-washingtons-ice-cream-recipe-first-cut-ice-from-riverhttp://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/02/20/147054700/george-washingtons-ice-cream-recipe-first-cut-ice-from-river">NPR</a>)</p> <p class="p1">He’d get ice from the Maryland shore in winter, store it until the spring when cows were producing dairy, and then, using fruit, cream and sugar (nope - no vanilla or chocolates, ice creams were all fruit flavors back then), he’d prepare a slushy, creamy version of ice cream. It was served as a delicacy, in portions of one or two ounces in tiny porcelain teacup-like dishes.</p> <p class="p1">So here’s to him - our lemon ice cream served in tiny teacups. Happy Birthday GW.</p> </blockquote>http://foodtrippings.tumblr.com/post/44500091065http://foodtrippings.tumblr.com/post/44500091065Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:24:07 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/432792704bbf2d7e0089f012b8c21dbb/tumblr_mi0l84bFf61qa2m2mo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>The making of <a href="http://www.milkmadeicecream.com/our-scream">Tiramisu</a></p> <p>Step 5: Dig in and enjoy. </p> </blockquote>http://foodtrippings.tumblr.com/post/44500047838http://foodtrippings.tumblr.com/post/44500047838Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:23:34 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1106bed023e2c0c9671d9bc7443b1d6e/tumblr_mie5kbcfOB1qa2m2mo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://blog.milkmadeicecream.com/post/43358616439/the-making-of-tiramisu-step-4-we-forgot-step-4">milkmadeicecream</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The making of <a href="http://www.milkmadeicecream.com/our-scream">Tiramisu</a><br/><br/>Step 4: We forgot step 4!

Our pals at Morse Farm are tapping the trees and the maple creemee stands are coming out of hibernation. That’s the true sign of spring’s return. And we’re ready for it, celebrating it, with our rendition of the maple creemee. It’s simply a Grade A Dark Amber maple ice cream strewn with bits of the-best-cone-you’ve-ever-had from Ampersand Conery.</span></p> <p><span><strong>#82 Churro</strong><br/><em>dulce de leche ice cream with chunks of churro</em><br/>Dulce de leche, the candy of the milk. Who knew milk could make such a delicious candy? We didn’t, until we boiled a can of it and, woah, a caramel-like jam was produced. Just like that. Churro has been a flavor we’ve long wanted to create - but how, and with what churros, we wondered. Well, with a can of milk and a trip uptown to the new Le Churro, we figured it out. For our pints, we’re dulce’ing our own leche and tossing in mini churro chunks. Delicioso. </span></p> </blockquote>http://foodtrippings.tumblr.com/post/44499353179http://foodtrippings.tumblr.com/post/44499353179Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:14:37 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/be2dca27763c7509e6e09159bb6c18f9/tumblr_mixwpmWskw1qa2m2mo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p></p> <p class="p1">other flavor of the day: <strong>Java</strong><br/><em><span>java ice cream</span></em></p> <p class="p1">Inspired by Javascript, here’s our java ice cream for <a href="http://www.codecademy.com/">Codeacademy</a>.
