For the sake of argument, I think not. Especially when it comes to one of my favorite desserts – brownies!

Bourbon roasted cherries, chunks of fudgey brownies, and a vanilla bean ice cream base make the world go round in this delicious Black Forest Ice Cream recipe!

Typical for Florida, really, but extremely unwelcome. It’s only May! This doesn’t bode well for the actual summer season, I imagine.

When I was a little girl and any time we had to bring a snack somewhere–dance recital, preschool tea party, play dates–I asked my mom to make her brownies. They are from scratch and her delicate use of powder sugar (I obviously need more practice) was always perfect. Sometimes she would cut them ahead of time into little tiny square and put them into silver cupcake liners. When I asked her where the recipe came from, she told me that in college she and some girls put it together and would make them often. And now I make them. While my powder sugar isn’t done as well as hers, it makes me so happy to make a recipe she made when she was my age and throughout my childhood.
