So the salted peanut ice cream was a failure. It's still yummy, but it's basically just peanut butter ice cream. I used the fresh-ground peanut butter from Whole Foods, but that may not be the right choice for this ice cream. The peanut butter isn't entirely smooth, so it leaves little bits of peanut in the ice cream, which Spring Hill doesn't have. But most disappointing/perplexing of all is that I used 1/2 tsp of salt in the recipe, but it didn't taste salty at all. I used a similar amount in the butterscotch pecan, and you could totally taste the salt. Wacky. So now I have to try making it again with smooth peanut butter and 1 tsp of salt. I'm also going to try to make a richer, custardy version of the base.
Has anyone ever seen The Ramen Girl with Brittany Murphy? She so peaked with her sidekick role in Clueless; she's been entirely forgettable ever since. In fact, she's a detriment to the roles she's played. As for the movie, I don't think I have met a more annoying heroine since Becky Bloomwood of the Shopaholic series. Both of these women, I want to drop kick to another solar system. So. lame. and. annoying. omg. TRG heroine is super annoying and lame to begin with, but BM just makes it worse. Seriously, I wanted nothing more than to see her take her last breath on the streets of Japan. (Yes, it was like a poor man's version of Lost in Translation.) The only thing it did was make me really want ramen. Not the packaged/instant kind, but real ramen from a real ramen shop that makes soup and noodles from scratch.
New license plate find today: South Carolina. Score!
