It's Been A Long Time

We're back! Its been months since we've posted but a lot has changed.  We welcomed our first child Tyler in September! We are so excited about our little boy. He's super cute and a whole lot more fun then...well pretty much everything!  We look forward to bringing him along on a few food adventures. Speaking of food....

I have to rave about one of my pregnancy obsessions!  I am still obsessed with the ice cream from Loblolly Creamery located right here in Little Rock.  If you've tried every outrageous ice cream flavor out there with names that include weird words like "rocky", "Razorback", "spiced", "sticky", "gooey" and "chewy", you need to give Loblolly a try.  If you like good ice cream and think you've had good ice cream before, just because it cost an arm and a leg, you need to give Loblolly a try.  If you like fresh ice cream, made from local, in-season ingredients, try Loblolly!  My favorite place to go when I want to try a new flavor is the The Green Corner Store.  They sell it by the scoop.  When I'm in the mood for one of my favorite flavors (Dark Chocolate Sorbet or Salted Caramel) I stop by the Argenta Market on Main Street in North Little Rock.

Let's Experiment

Terell loves to experiment.  Meaning, he likes to make up stuff.  The chances that we can reproduce what was made is always very slim.  Hopefully we can reproduce this one: take some frozen peaches and thaw in the microwave, then drain.  Let the peaches soak in your favorite liquor (for us, it was RockTown Distillery's Apple Pie Whiskey).  Take a skillet, throw in some butter and let melt.  Coat the liquor-soaked peaches with a little flour and crushed ginger snaps.  Throw in the skillet and fry, yes, fry.  You want the liquor, flour and ginger snaps to get crispy.  Take out of the skillet, put into a bowl and top with ice cream.  If you're feeling really lucky, take the skillet, add a little more butter, cream and liquor and make a sauce.  So very delicious!!
