This ice cream owes its existence to a younger and more foolish me, who once had what she thought was a genius idea, oh, you always eat brownies way too quickly, maybe if you freeze them, you'll eat them slower, and who then found frozen brownies to be the best thing she had ever encountered and ate them all the live long day until she became the ...

oatmeal lace ice cream
Overwhelmingly, pregnancy thus far has been a much more peaceful experience than I ever thought it would be. This isn't to say that it's been a total walk in the park (in case you've had or are having a rough one!) but before it all happened, I had fearful visions of hugging the toilet, or raging at B2, or doing both at the same time, nonstop for ...
olive oil ice cream sundaes
This weekend I killed a mosquito! All on my own! (It should say a lot about my capability as a human that this is news.) I feel like combating wily mosquitoes in old, not-quite-insulated apartments is a defining part of the New York summer for us every year. Before B2, I always figured dousing yourself with life-shortening amounts of DEET was ...
yuanyang coffee-tea ice cream with condensed milk crumble
Ceramics: Little Upside Down Cake; The Fortynine Studio, Akiko Graham via The-Commons; woodwork: Nershi Woodworks. Hi friends! Can I say I missed you guys? I know it's only been a week, but somehow it feels longer since I last sat down for a peek into the blog world. Maybe because it's been a smidge hectic around here lately. That seems to be the ...
miniature olive oil, dark chocolate & rosemary cake + peppermint no-churn ice cream
It's a holiday birthday cake! One of my dearest friends and future bridesmaids (!) had her birthday over Thanksgiving a few weeks ago. As hallmates in law school, we bonded over a mutual love for Waffle House and thick-skinned potstickers. Instead of heated civil rights debates, we discussed the finer points of chicken versus pork ramen broths. ...
dairy-free bangkok peanut ice cream
It always surprises me around this time of year that summer hasn't technically ended. Less so when I hear about sweltering heat in LA or abiding humidity in Florida, but at least around these parts, it feels like fall. We're retiring our AC and pulling out sweaters. The air has a crisp snap to it in the mornings; the leaves are edging golden. The ...
cold brew affogato
Bowl #2 and I first discovered cold brew coffee a little over a year ago. In the midst of an epic New York heat wave (in the midst of an un-air-conditioned apartment), we thought it was nothing short of magic. Just coffee grounds, water, and time, and not only do you get to skip boiling water, waiting for coffee to cool, fiddling with coffee ice ...
red bean ice cream
It's Monday! (I was going to say "Happy Monday," but, you know, Monday.) In the off chance that ice cream will make it better, here's one of my favorites. Even in my days as a red bean-hating kid, I loved red bean ice cream. Something about red bean in a cold confection gets me every time. My family was the same way -- we had red bean ...
bacon & sweet corn ice cream sandwiches // my name is yeh x trb!
Last Saturday, something magical happened -- the one and only Molly Yeh graced my little Brooklyn abode with her sunshiny self, and we baked and ate and shot a joint post together. Really! It was the most fun I've ever had shooting a post; I might even go out on a limb and say it's my favorite post so far. There was highly hygienic ice cream ...
honey-goat cheese ice cream with poached pear swirl
Guys! I made ice cream! Last summer, I stumbled upon Carey’s gem of a blog, Reclaiming Provincial, by way of this remarkable ice cream -- a honey-thyme & blackberry-goat cheese swirl ice cream. Let’s repeat that and just let it marinate for a second. Honey. Thyme. Blackberries. And goat cheese. I can’t remember the last time I’ve so ...
