No matter how much I like something, it’s hard for me to make it twice… especially twice in the span of a single week. The recipe has to be special… very special. And it has to be good… very good. And even so, there are bazilions of recipes for the same thing so why make one of them multiple times? Why not try other recipes for that same thing and perhaps find something {gasp!} even better? One of the exceptions to this, of course, is Dorie’s Perfect Party Cake. I’ve made that countless times… it’s THAT GOOD. Truth be told, right now I’m pretty darn full from dinner but could easily eat a slice of it right now… it’s THAT GOOD. But… I digress ;) I’ve been making quite a few ice cream recipes lately and loving them all. A couple of weeks ago I decided to try out a recipe for Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. I remembered how good things turned out when I used the David Lebovitz recipe for chocolate ice cream and searched his archives for a vanilla one. No lie… David Lebovitz can make ice cream. And I’m not talkin good ice cream… I’m talking fantastic, terrific, amazing, best-you-ever-had, jump-back-and-kiss-yourself, so-fabulous-that-you-make-it-two-weekends-in-a-row ice cream. Ice cream that’s so good it moved me to post an open letter about it on Twitter… something dorky like “Dear David Lebovitz, your vanilla bean ice cream is amazing… Love, Em”. Yeah, I toldja… dorky. But what can I say? This vanilla bean ice cream is so good I had no shame… I was moved to tweet about it! It’s THAT GOOD!
