Ice Cream and Strawberries
Yum.
Generally, fruit and dairy products are not items I choose to combine. I don’t know why, but ever since I was a kid, I separated my diced fruit and my ice cream. I’d eat them one before the other, or only one, not the other. They were sweets, but sweets that never related to one another. In my sweets bowl, the two never met.
Over the last week however, on two occasions with Kate, we’ve had Ice Cream with Strawberries. At first, the idea didn’t excite me too much, but on consumption I realised that the last 20-odd years of my life have been spent in the dark - when all along, I should have been exploring all of the opportunities.
Mama Mex restaurant (who have the most awesome meals by the way) was the first occasion, my sensational meal of Beef Fajitas and Kate’s wondrous Spaghetti and Meatballs followed by a huge vase-like glass full of creamy ice cream and dotted with sliced Strawberries. Then the other night Kate brought around some Strawberries and Yoghurt. I didn’t delve into the yoghurt, but instead opted for, once again, the ice cream to accompany my ‘Berries.
The flavours are just divine. The taste is a sensation. Its the perfect sweet after a meal really.
Man I love food.

Glad I got you onto a good thing there. It is delicious aye? I love it mostly because I don’t feel as bad eating it knowing that at least I have fruits with my ice cream!
Next we shall try peaches with ice cream. That is really yummy too. And mangoes… yum. I think I’m about to get some yoghurt and cut up a mango…

Pretty yum!!!
Peaches and mangoes with ice cream really don’t sound too appealing! But seeing as I’ve warmed to Strawberries and Ice Cream so much, I guess I better give them a try
