"joy of baking" news and stories

When I was a kid I was addicted to chocolate ice cream (side note: a lot of my posts start out talking about how I was addicted to some junk food when I was a kid - I'm amazed I don't weigh 350 lbs). But when I got older, my tastes changed from pure chocolate to other flavors, usually based in vanilla: chocolate chip ice cream, Heath Bar Crunch maybe some other flavors. Your taste buds must get more sophisticated as you get older.

Anyway, today is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. Check out the recipe for a very decadent-looking chocolate ice cream at The Joy of Baking, and here's one from CD Kitchen that promises to be like Ben & Jerry's.

Yesterday was National Donut Day. This isn't a good week for people on a diet.
