RECIPE ONLY

This recipe is nothing short of divine with Evelyn Cross’s Very Special Long-Ago Carrot Cake.


INGREDIENTS:
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon whole cardamom pods
2 quarts buttermilk (or 1 quart buttermilk and 1 quart plain full-fat kefir)
2 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 to 2 tablespoons rosewater

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat the heavy cream in a small, non-reactive saucepan until it is scalding hot. Drop in cardamom pods, turn off heat, and let stand until cream has cooled to room temperature, along cardamom to steep in it.

2. Meanwhile, combine buttermilk, sugar, salt, vanilla, and rosewater, whisking well.

3. When cream has cooled, strain it into the the buttermilk mixture, trapping the cardamom pods. Discard pods. Whisk again.

4. Place the buttermilk mixture in an ice-cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is done, transfer to a freezer container with a tight-fitting lid, and try not to fight among yourselves as to who gets to lick the dasher which was recently in the churning ice cream.  Ideally, let the ice cream rest in the freezer for a few hours to firm up slightly before serving.

Based on a recipe from Passionate Vegetarian.

NOT A LITTLE MONKEY, by Charlotte Zolotow, illustrted by Michelle Chessaree

"So, the little girl climbed into the big waste-basket and waited." ' Oh no,' said her mother, ' we don't want to throw you away.'"There are many ways to express love and the need for attention. Here, a busy mother and her just-a-bit naughty little girl tease each other affectionately — the little girl making her point without even uttering a word.That's today's story time — read aloud by the author's daughter at Crescent Dragonwagon's Writing, Cooking, & Workshops, with Mark Graff's "text support" and discussion."Just right for two-to-fours, the humor of this true-to-life story of a mischievous little girl who blocks her mother's attempts to clean house will elicit giggles from the lollipop set." Kirkus Reviews
