One of the first signs that spring is near is the seasonal opening of Kurver Kreme. As of today, they are celebrating the grand re-opening for the season. That means the ice cream will once again be flowing and new signs of life and green leafs are just around the corner. As soon as I get off work...I'll be there waiting in line.
Crisan Bakery! Awesome place if you have never been. You have got to try their tiramisu gelato. It's the best! My second favorite would be the coconut. And it's cheap too! $1 for a large scoop. What more could you ask for?
Many of you have been wondering if Kurver Kreme is closed. The answer: Yes! Kurver closed its windows for the season about a week ago and the past week has been filled with restless nights trying to quench my sweetooth. I hope you got the chance to bid adieu to the cute soft serve girls before the windows closed. If not, you will have to wait until March.
It's summer. It's hot. You want to cool off. Chill out with homemade ice cream from Kurver Kreme. With tons of flavors available, everyone is bound to find something they want. Be sure to eat up during the summer. Before we know it September will be here and they will be closed for the winter. Boooo!
A friend of mine celebrated her birthday a week ago this past Sunday. In honor of this milestone I decided to make her some homemade Vanilla Oreo Ice Cream. I must say it's probably the best ice cream I've ever made. This past Sunday I was on a mission to find pasteurized cream since ultra-pasteurized cream loses much of its flavor and texture from being heated to high temperatures. If you are a foodie like me, you may be wondering, "where in Albany, NY can I find pasteurized cream?" Since we don't have a Whole Foods, and Price Chopper/ Hannaford don't carry it, I tried The Honest Weight Coop. BINGO! However, they were were out of stock and wouldn't get any until Monday/Thursday (fyi....those are the only days they get deliveries). Since I needed Oreo's and milk anyway, I went to our big new Wal-Mart. BINGO AGAIN! They sell Byrne Dairy Grade A Pasteurized Cream which is made in Syracuse, NY along with an assortment of other Byrne Dairy products (shameless plug I know). Since summer officially starts June 21st, you still have time to stock up on supplies and recipes so get crackin'.
