Chocolate-Strawberry Ice Cream!

Lurking in the depths of the Vita-Mix:

Maybe  it’s a little weird to crave ice cream when it’s 30 degrees outside.  But my run made me kind of hot; ice cream just sounded like a good idea!  Plus, there’s this amazing contraption: the Costco heat dish.  You can eat in front of it and stay warm.  Seriously, it’s brilliant!  Henry thinks so, anyway. He sits so close to it that I’m worried he’ll burn his tail.

    The Costco Heatdish and ice-cream are a match made in heaven. 🙂

    Never weird to crave ice-cream, no matter what temperature!

    I crave sorbet all winter long. I just eat it in front of a space heater. 🙂

    Regarding negativity — pity that person’s short-sightedness, then in one ear and out the other!

    Mmmm, the ice cream looks incredible! I would attempt to make it in my inferior blender, but even my soup made it groan.

    I definitely agree that it’s time to move past winter! Next year, we can place the costco heater in front of him so he thinks it’s summery and warm out.

    Do NOT worry about sounding whiny when you respond to something or discuss something personal. All bloggers are people too, and sometimes people need to share the bad with the good to their friends.

    I’ll propose a Q of the day to help all the dozens of other vitamix wannabes: For those lucky people who own a Vita, how did you get it? A big red bow on Christmas (car commercial style)? Working with Mr. Piggybank until the big day came? Credit card+ online impulse buy? Moonlighting? (KIDDING!!!!!!!) Just curious!

    I’m adding this recipe to my list…
    …along with all the fudge babies to make!

    Wah I’m going to be sooo busy :p

    And *(&??&*? to the mean anonymous commenters…I’m pretty sure it’s the same person that is ‘duplicating’ himself just to make it look like there many haters. Which is impossible bc you are so sweet! I laughed at the ”you making money by hosting giveaway” argument…And sheesh, it’s pretty normal to ask people to link back, duh!

    xoxo

    rude anon comments will always make us bloggers go a little ranty. I usually write scathing things, almost hit publish, then delete it all. LOL
    You were not whiny or ranty at all. I love how you address the crap head-on!
    And I hope I am still loved by you b/c my contests do include chia seed giveaways!

    So, I saw that Puxatawney Phil saw his shadow, but Staten Island Chuck did not. Now, I think Staten Island Chuck sounds a little shady, and a johnny-come-lately to the whole weather predicting groundhog scene, but I still like his prediction better.

    Hi Katie,

    Just wanted to say that your blog is awesome! I’ve just made your healthy chocolate ice cream with raspberries and it was delicious, much better than regular ice cream.

    Thank you!
