is everything we know about food wrong? the new york times thinks so!

maybe i ought to rename this blog steak and chocolate. . .it's all too confusing for my little head.

so mr. right and i took advantage of the excellent weather and hopped down the hill to the brooklyn water front at the fulton landing for a small scoop of artisanal ice cream from the brooklyn ice cream factory. it's a cute little shop nestled in the old ferry building. but what makes it truly worthy of our attention is the hot fudge, which comes from nearby over-priced wedding-trap, the river cafe. pastry chef ellen sternau turns out stellar hot fudge made with michel cluizel 72% chocolate. it's probably the best thing at the river cafe!

the chocolate ice cream is decidely above average; all they would tell me about it was that it was made with cocoa. however, i have to confess that i'm an ice cream purist. true ice cream comes in one flavor alone -- vanilla. and sad to say, the ice cream factory's vanilla is anemic. so have 'em spoon a bit of fudge over a child's scoop of chocolate, and enjoy the skyline. . . the breeze off the water. . .the beauty of new york. . .
