I go to the grocery store at least three times a week.
I’ve eaten ice cream for breakfast. Recently.
I use my linen closet for dish storage. (I think that’s the opposite of Carrie Bradshaw.)

Chai Latte Ice Cream
It’s time to say goodbye.
Goodbye to summer. Goodbye to my old apartment. (We moved yesterday.) And goodbye to Ice Cream Fridays.
Not to be dramatic or anything.
As August draws to a close, I’m marking the end of the season by putting away my ice cream maker. It’s been a good run! Eleven whole weeks of Friday ice cream creations now populate the archives of this blog. To recap, we’ve had:
Chunky Lola Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Red Beet and White Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Chocolate Terrine with Sea Salt and Thai Basil Ice Cream
Vegan Coconut Almond Fudge Crunch Ice Cream
Dairy-Free Caramelized Banana Ice Cream
Chili-Infused Pomegranate Sorbet
Homemade Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt
And as much as I’d like to keep going strong, I have to draw the line somewhere, and that somewhere is Labor Day. So of course, for our last Ice Cream Friday, I had to make the best ice cream yet, something I’ve been wanting to try for quite some time: Chai Latte Ice Cream.

German Potato Salad (Kartoffelsalat)
The time has come to tell you about my job at Karl’s Sausage Kitchen.
Yes, during summers and holidays all throughout college, I worked at a store called Karl’s Sausage Kitchen. It wasn’t some raunchy late-night gig, as my guy friends liked to rib me about, but a little family-owned German sausage shop (Metzgerei). Karl’s son owned it during my time there and made all the sausages in the gleaming kitchen that took up the entire back of the building. In the kitschy storefront, a few older German ladies and I wrapped up those sausages, sliced up bacon and bologna, and rang them up for customers along with imported German goodies like Haribo and Ritter Sport.

Classic Gazpacho
Can we all take a moment to celebrate tomato season?
There’s not much that can top a fresh-picked tomato. If I didn’t kill everything I ever tried to grow, tomatoes would be on my short list for a garden – tomatoes and basil! As it is, I don’t seem to have any sort of green thumb, so I’ll let someone else grow them for me. I think everyone’s happier that way, especially my would-be tomato plants.
The tomatoes we’ve been getting recently have been amazing, and I love dishes that really highlight them. Caprese salad is always a favorite, and when I’m in the mood for a hydrating tomato-y dish, I looove gazpacho.
There are a lot of gazpacho recipes out there, it’s true – everything from strawberry peach to yellow tomato and corn (yum!). But this here isn’t as fancy as all that. It’s just the classic gazpacho recipe I’ve been making for the past few summers.

Copycat Swiss Orange Sherbet
Just take a look at this pretty little concoction I have for you today.
The more I think about ice cream, the more I remember the flavors I enjoyed as a kid. And this is just such a flavor: Swiss orange sherbet.
Edy’s Swiss Orange Sherbet was one of my childhood favorites, and was in constant supply at my aunt and uncle’s (hi Aunt Liz!). Did you ever try it? (The brand is Edy’s on the East Coast, and Dryer’s on the West Coast.) When it popped into my head a few weeks ago, I knew I had to recreate it for you. I was surprised to learn, when I started researching it, that Nastle has retired the flavor! So sad – it’s so easy to assume that everything from your childhood will stay the same forever.
In any case, I’m sorry if you missed out on the storebought version. It really was quite good. But I guess that’s just another reason that we should all start making it at home.
