June 2008

I love the classic combination of apples, cinnamon, and pastry. I don’t care whether it’s pie, turnovers, fritters, dumplings, or crisp. It’s all delicious! Here is a lovely photo of an apple pie pocket. I love the tender bits of apple spilling out of the perfectly browned pastry crust. The only thing I might add would be whipped cream or icing on top of the pastry (I have a thing for icing), or ice cream beside the pastry.

Of course, I wouldn’t say no if you offered it to me just like this, either…

In honor of this excellent holiday, I have written an original Rocky Road poem. That’s right. You won’t get ice cream haiku at just any blog.

Heavenly chocolate
Mingled with nuts and fluffy
Sweet white marshmallows

When I was a little girl, I would always eat around or spit out the nuts. My favorite part of Rocky Road is the chocolate, followed by the marshmallows. But now I even eat the nuts. Happy Rocky Road Ice Cream Day!
