Smithsonian Life List

Smithsonian has their list of places to see before you die. I’ve got two on the list (The Louvre, The Grand Canyon), and hopefully I’ll have time to add The Great Barrier Reef this spring when I go to Australia.


Mexican Banana Ice Milk

So, I screwed up a batch of chocolate sorbet recently - who knew too much Jack Daniels could be a bad thing??? Since tomorrow is Andy’s birthday and I had some bananas too ripe for breakfast eating, I decided it was time for banana ice cream with a chocolate twist. But since I wasn’t up for making a custard, this is more of an ice milk, but just as tasty.

  • 4 very ripe bananas
  • 2 cups 2% milk (whole milk if you’re feeling extra special)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 heaping tbsp of Savory’s Mexican Cocoa (contains cocoa, cinnamon, and vanilla powder)

In a blender, add three bananas and the rest of the ingredients. Whiz until very smooth. Stick the blender pitcher in the fridge to get cold. (Try to avoid drinking this with a straw.)

Following your ice cream machine’s instructions, add the cold mixture. Dice the remaining banana and add while the machine is going. Once done, stick in a container and freeze for a bit. If you can wait that long.


Nothing related to food.

In an effort to get a few things out of the house and to make way for new ideas floating in my head, I’ve lowered the prices on the scarves I have for sale on Etsy. Sales good!!!
