New in Town: Kai Lee Creamery

If you've been following along with our culinary adventures, you know that we plan stops on roadtrips around ice cream shops. So, it's not too much of a stretch for us to plan a bike ride with a new ice cream shop as our destination.

This afternoon we were debating: hike or bike. Then I mentioned that there was a new creamery in town and the deal was sealed. Bikes came out, helmets were strapped on heads, and off we went to the American Tin Cannery to try out Kai Lee Creamery.

Butch Adams, the owner, was manning the counter. So we chatted with him as we tried the different flavors. Made in small batches onsite, all of the ice cream is corn-free, wheat-free, soy-free, and gluten-free. He doesn't use dyes or preservatives. And, as much as possible, his ingredients are locally sourced and organic. Sweet!



We tried caramel, raspberry ripple, mango, mango dairy-free, lemon cream pie, pumpkin pie, ginger honey, and the mystery flavor. It has no name yet. If you go there, taste it, suggest a name, and he picks your suggestion, you'll get a free double scoop. Not bad!

We ended up with scoops of lemon cream pie, pumpkin pie, and ginger honey. The lemon cream pie had strips of zest and a refreshing flavor. Pumpkin pie was like biting into Halloween. And my favorite was the ginger honey - with generous-sized chunks of candied ginger.

Though we're heading into the cooler season, we'll be visiting Kai Lee Creamery again soon. If you're local, check them out and tell me which flavor was your favorite.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P
