"The beauty is in it's simplicity."

After making creme´englace yesterday, which is basically ice cream without the flavor, I had to make up my own mix today. We weren't allowed to use recipes as the idea was to learn that you can make this one base (the creme englace) and then numerous ice creams could come from that. It was neat, but a little overwhelming because I wanted to make something remarkable, but not ordinary.

So I saw the Kahlua and the scene from "The Big Lebowski" where The Dude is sniffing the cream that'd been sitting out came to mind. White Russian, it is. The beauty of culinary school is top-shelf booze and how no one cares how much you use. This ice cream was ah-mazing.

It tasted exactly like the drink you'd order from your neighborhood bar or local bowling alley. The entire class, of course, had to taste it and numerous comments were heard that if they ate a cup of that "class would be a lot more fun." To say the least, it was stout.

Of course, there's more at Flickr!
