The other day I learned there was cheese flavored ice cream

Maybe cheese flavored ice cream has been around for a long time but, its the first time I heard about it. And I don’t ever remember trying any ice cream that was cheese flavored.

I am not sure if I would like cheese flavored ice cream if I tried it. I suppose I do want to try try it someday if I ever see it in a store. Or perhaps I could make my own cheese flavored ice cream.

I am almost sure that Monterey jack is my favorite cheese flavor so I would make a Monterey jack flavored cheese. I wonder if it would taste good on a hamburger. Maybe not.

One day I hope I make ice cream

I probably have written about wanting to make ice cream before on this blog but, I think it would be so fun to make my own ice cream.

My favorite ice cream is peppermint candy ice cream. I have not eaten that ice cream in years. But, I do remember that I liked it a lot.

I am not sure what type of ice cream I want to make. I mean what flavor of ice cream I want to make.

Probably drag on fruit ice cream. Big surprise right.

I wonder what usual flavors I can think of.

I remember I used to like chocolate chip ice cream a lot.

And I liked to stir up the ice cream to make it softer. I might have even put sugar in ice cream once or twice. Which I thought tasted good.

I wonder if I ever put brown sugar in ice cream? I could have but, I don’t remember.

So someday I hope to make my own ice cream. If that will ever happen I don’t know but, its fun to think about.

I think it would be fun to make my own yogurt

Maybe I have written about that before on this blog. I don’t remember.

Anyway right now my favorite store bought flavor of yogurt is peach.

I am thinking about what flavors of yogurt I have tried. Lets see plain, vanilla, strawberry, peach.

It makes me wonder when is the first time I remember eating yogurt? I don’t remember eating yogurt a lot when I was younger. I don’t even remember what my favorite brand or flavor of yogurt was back then.

I wonder what flavor of yogurt I want to make? How about kiwi, or dragon fruit. Yes, that is it I could make dragon fruit yogurt. i wonder how that would taste since I don’t even know what dragon fruit tastes like.

So I think I would want to make dragon fruit yogurt. And probably lots of other flavors off yogurt I have never even thought about.

I used to make Cornish hen

I don’t remember how often I ate Cornish hen, or when the last time I ate it was.

I do remember that I used to like to put salt and probably pepper on it. I don’t think I ever put barbecue sauce on it. Though thinking about it new that seems like it would taste pretty good.

I used to eat the whole Cornish hen myself. I don’t like to share. And the birds are not that big so it was not that much to eat.

I probably put the Cornish hen under the broiler in the oven to cook it.

I used to think they were ganish hens but, they must have been Cornish hens.

I wonder how long it took me to eat one Cornish hen? I have no idea.

I am wondering when I stopped eating Cornish hen? I don’t remember either.

I am sure I thought Cornish hen tasted good. Otherwise why would I have eaten it more than once.

Years ago I used to make sugar cookies

The recipe was from a big old cook book that we hand. I doubt I memorized the recipe.

I remember that I made the sugar cookies though. I don’t remember how often I made them or how many I made. I think I double the recipe that was in the cookbook.

So maybe I made at least 2 or 3 dozen sugar cookies. I used a rolling pin and sometimes I put the dough on a plastic mat we had. I would put flower on the dough when it got sticky.

I also would put frosting on the sugar cookies. I don’t know if I put frosting on them ever time I made them. Maybe I did. Probably the frosting was mostly powdered sugar.

I would get cookies that were thin and crispy or thicker and soft. Sometimes I might have even under cooked the cookies. Not because I wanted to but, accidentally.

I suppose I liked the crispy sugar cookies. But, I really liked the softer thicker sugar cookies.

I would put the cookies on 2 wire racks to cool. And then put them on a plate.

I don’t remember the last time I made sugar cookies. I bet sugar cookies are the only type of cookies I made.

I also could have made chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies but, I don’t remember making those.

I wonder how many sugar cookies I have eaten in my life. I wish I had counted.

I have not cooked anything in years

I can’t remember that last thing I cooked in an oven. It was probably pizza. So I can’t wait to finally cook something.

The idea of making my way through as many cookbooks as I can and making everything in them gets me excited.

I am sure I have written about this before. I would rather travel the world by cooking dishes from a cook book that traveling there physically.

I suppose you could say I want to be adventurous when it comes to food. And I am not adventurous when it comes to physically traveling.

I remember I learned how to make pizza by watching it made on a cooking show. I am not sure what the show was called.

For years after that I used to love making pizza. Usually on the pizza would be sauce, cheddar, or Monterey Jack cheese, white cap mushrooms, pepperoni or Canadian Bacon, green peppers.

I remember we used to have a metal pizza pan with holes in it. And for awhile I even had a pizza cutter wheel.

One thing I learned from making pizza dough is to never putting garlic in with the yeast and water and let the dough rise. That was awful. I only made that mistake once. The garlic and yeast are like oil and water they don’t mix.

The garlic goes on top of the pizza dough. I don’t think I tried kneading garlic in the dough after it had already risen but, before I rolled out the dough to put on the toppings.

Making pizza is fun. I should make pizza again someday.

I want to learn how to pickle

The only type of pickles I have eaten is cucumber pickles. The green skinned cucumbers not lemon cucumbers.

Today I learned that people pickle watermelon rind. I had never heard of that before. And so it god me thinking about pickling.

And I think that would cool to be able to pickle my own cucumbers, onions, watermelon and whatever other things can be pickled.

I liked to eat salami, cheese, crackers with pickles. I have not eaten that in years.

I don’t know if I will ever pickle anything but, its something I want to learn. So I will see.

The other day I was thinking about Salami

And I realized I had never thought about how it is made. I thought it was maybe like sausage where it had to be cooked. At least I think sausage needs to be cooked.

When I was younger we used to eat salami, with cheese, crackers, pickles. I used to look forward to that. The food would be sliced up and all I had to do was put together what I wanted and eat it.

I probably had not thought about Salami in years. So while thinking about salami I thought it would be nice to make some of my own.

So I want to make my own salami and also make my own sausage. Maybe I could do regular and meatless versions of both.

Years ago I got a little booklet on how to make soda

In the booklet it showed how to make soda with a tank of Co2. I probably never read the entire booklet even though it was maybe not more than 30 pages long.

And I never got around to making my own soda. And I am sure making my own soda would have been a fun project. I wonder what flavors I could have come up with.

Anyway this year I want to make my own soda. Oh, I know what else I was thinking about. My favorite soda flavor is root beer. I also like root beer popsicles.

And since I was working on modeling an ice cream cone in blender yesterday that got me wondering is there root beer ice cream? I will have to look it up. Or how about root beer yogurt. Yummy.

I found a video of someone making root beer ice cream. Not that I searched to hard. I never usually go past the first page of search results.

Earlier this week I watched a video on how to make ice cream cake

So a goal for this year is to make a ice cream cake. I think I have only eaten ice cream cake once in my life and I liked it.

I know that I like eating cake with ice cream. Particularly chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. An even better way that I like to eat cake and ice cream is to mash up the cake in the ice cream. Yummy.

I am not sure if I have ever baked a cake. I know I have baked at least 4 pumpkin pies in which I used a pumpkin that I grew myself. And I am sure I also roasted the seeds from that pumpkin and ate them also. What fun.
