Library-Inspired Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Flavors

@HeartofGlass - I LOOOOOOVE YOUR "CHECKED OUT" IDEA!!! I love throwing a handful of Chex Mix into my plain vanilla but have never tried it with butter pecan...now, I must! Excellent name, too! I wonder if others realize the sheer amazing deliciousness of Chex Mix in ice cream?

@Sandalola - ALSO a great flavor combo suggestion!

Is there any way you can give us a preview of the places you'll be hitting up here in Dallas? Should I throw a bit more in the smoker for you?

Safe journies!!!!

The Crisper Whisperer: Zucchini and Corn Fritters Rule the World. For Reals

Love the bowling idea, and my husband used to play baseball with zucchini bats as a kid in real life. Next week's post will indeed be about kohlrabi!

Yes, please...further suggestions as to uses for kohlrabi! I only planted 6, ate two raw when young, gave two medium-sized away and now have two giant ones left languishing in the garden. A friend suggested I drill three holes in them and use them as bowling balls to knock down an array of "zucchini pins"!

This look delicious and I LOVE the column. I adore zucchini and am, I think, the only one enjoying the surplus of it in my basket. Baked Zucchini & tomatoes anyone? Or, even better, Chocolate-Zucchini bundt cake!

AMAZING RECIPE! I love these fritters I made them sans cilantro (i'm not a fan) and substituted some garlic for the onion (missed it in the store) but they were wonderful! The salted zucchini with the sweet corn and a healthy dollop of some Fage yogurt sent me to heaven! Thanks for sharing,

Made these last night and served with mixed greens and balsamic vinaigrette. Perfect light dinner!
The only change I would have made is adding some salt to the mixture before cooking the fritters - the salt from the zucchini doesn't really come through in the mixture.

I've had zucchini fritters before but I just love the idea of adding corn, too. What a great summer dish. Yum!

@ JethroSpanks

To bake the batter heat a cake pan with some oil in the over then, after a few minutes, poru the batter in and let it bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the bottom is browned and bubbling (you'll be able to see it on the sides). You may want to put it under the grill if the top didn't get enough color.
I gave up frying the batter when oil exploded all over my kitchen and, consequently, on me. Fresh corn is very hard to come by in France and I resorted to drained canned corn... too much water... not such a good idea.
the batter is still tasty when baked!

Wow, after reading more comments, I learned some more. I didnt know you could cook kohlrabi. I thought all you would do was eat it raw. Well, if my six are still good, we will be trying something new this evening. Thank you and yes, we need more on kohlrabi. We need to spread the word. When I mention it, people look at me and say "What?'.

LOL, OMG, I am LMA off here. Thanks for telling us what CSA meant, I was wondering also. I had seen that before but couldnt remember.
As for the "Sneak a Kohlrabi into your neighbor's crisper" Day. I have my own, tyvm, about 6 of them harvested about 6 weeks ago. They are starting to look a little mangy but I dont have the heart to throw them out yet.
As for the zucchini, we harvest every day and hubs always manages to miss a couple so you all know what happens to them. It is attack of the killer zucchini the next day. I think he has hurt his shoulder tossing them. We do a lot of things with them - SHARE THEM, make zucchini fritters with corn and without, eat them raw, shake with Bisquick and fry, but the best is sauteeing them up with leftover cut off corn on the cob. Saute in olive oil to begin with and then add a pat of butter at the end so it coats and makes everything look glossy and yummy.
Long live the zucchini gods!

@Jethro--it does sound pretty good! I may try it myself--butter pecan is a very overlooked flavor and salty/sweet is an awesome combo. All of these sound great!

And well, library paste does sound good in a way, too! I think they are talking about that white, chalky stuff you stir with a plastic, Popsicle-style rod.
