Thank you to my bestie Laura who sent this to me last night. I needed a laugh and this was a perfect, 5-foot metal chicken laugh.

Bourbon Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Well, ice cream attempt number two was another good one. This one was a real, egg based ice cream that took a little work but was really good. (I got a little impatient and shaved an hour off the cool time to get it into the machine and freezer hoping to serve it after dinner. It is a little softer than real ice cream which may have to do to the shortened cooling time or its due to the bourbon, not sure.)

The recipe from Serious Eats doesn't specify the amount of bourbon to add. I used 5 tablespoons then added an extra at Mike's request. Its got a serious bourbon-y kick.

Sauceless Pizzas

I spotted this fancy hawaiian pizza recipe at A Cozy Kitchen and it looked too good to not make. Plus, its got "fancy" in the name so that's usually a good sign. Since I had the ingredients on hand, I also re-created rocket arugula pizza I had in San Francisco.

The only changes I made to the fancy Hawaiian pizza were to use the red onions raw and sprinkle lots of chili flake on top after baking. The rocket arugula pizza consists of mozzarella, proscuitto and arugula all sprinkled with red chili oil.
