Corn Ice Cream

This weekend I made corn ice cream. No need to keep the recipe! First, it is messy. You have to cut the corn off the cob, which looks so easy on the Food Network. But the main reason is that after all that work, it tastes like vanilla ice cream. Honestly, I can make a better vanilla ice cream too. First ice cream recipe I have made that I did not like.

Tonight's dinner

MENU:

Chili 3000
rice

vanilla butterballs with a chocolate center

Tonight is Shabbat and I love Challah

Friday night means challah in my family. If you ask Adam or the kids, their favorite kind of challah is the kind that mommy makes. Of course, working full time, does not make it easy to have a nice warm fresh tasty loaf of challah available every Shabbat.

We are not fans of Cheryl Ann's, which most people around this area love. Instead, we like Breadsong or Big Sky. Breadsong is near Naomi's daycare and on the way to work, so we eat that challah.

I am interested to hear what challah you like to eat. Please let me know.

Dining Out With Friends

This week I have had the pleasure of dining out twice this week with friends.

On Tuesday, I went to Finale's with an old friend. Once we got there, we found out that if you ordered two dinners and two desserts, it was $29.99. What a deal. My mac and cheese was average, however the chocolate molten cake was to die for! Oh, I love desserts, and this was no different.

On Wednesday, I met up with a group of Angier Mom's at the Biltmore Grill in Newton. I had never been there before, even though it has been there FOREVER. It was a surprise. The food was great. We split an order of calamari, and then I had the heirloom tomato and mozzerella salad. YUMMY. No dessert though. And of course, a glass of Pino Grigio. Yum.

I might forget how to cook by the time the week is over!
