Summer Coolers

Now that it's late August we're getting sunny, breezy, cool weather that makes me think "Fall is coming"...until then we have a couple days of hot sticky weather. Just kidding!

Today is beautiful. Yesterday was hotter and I decided to branch out from my standard Banana "Ice Cream" and stuck a bunch of green grapes in the freezer instead. And then forgot about them and went and taught 6 violin lessons and then headed over to North Star Cafe to play with TML. I just remembered they were in the freezer and gave them a whirl, and now I have sherbety goodness on my tongue and a little bit of Brain Freeze.

Grape "Sherbet"
Ingredients: ripe grapes

Procedure: freeze grapes. Whirl in food processor until the consistency of sherbet.



And my old summer standby, the only recipe I ever liked from Moosewood:

Banana "Ice Cream"
Ingredients: very ripe bananas (as for banana bread)

Procedure: peel bananas, cut into chunks, and freeze on cookie sheet(s). Whirl in food processor until creamy.
