Dear Readers...I am now 31 years old. It's true...Is this old? Is this young? Depends on your perspective. Some people hate birthdays..not me I LOVE birthdays. And I don't care if the entire world knows how old I am. When I think my birthday I think WWWWWWHHHOOOOOOO HHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO! Prezzies, fun drinks, hanging out with your friends and excuses to eat treats. Where in there are the bad things? I can never understand why someone would not LOVE a day that involves all that. Anywho, my birthday this year was spent driving home from the cottage. It's a 5-6 hour drive from the cottage in holiday traffic so you might think that this would make my birthday suck but not even that could ruin my day. The weather was perfect with sunny blue skies and and beautiful puffy white clouds. Driving thru the country side with the window down and just enjoying the view. It was totally relaxing..I guess because I wasn't driving. I put on some Bob Marley for a while and when we did get home I got to open prezzies!!! Husband bought me 2 great things. 1-The Alice in Wonderland White Rabbit Pendant from Swarovski and 2 - the gift of shopping, a gift card to Jacob clothing store. I love shopping for clothes.
So I had told husband that I didn't want a cake and what I did for a birthday dessert was make Rhubarb and Custard Gelato with some fresh rhubarb we brought back from the cottage. This was real simple - boil rhubarb, sugar and vanilla then let simmer and reduce. I used the fair trade organic sugar for this recipe again and I'm loving this stuff. But anyhow, the taste of this is delightful. The dish may look a little messy but the taste is devine I tell you. Looking for a new sauce for your ice cream? You just found it.
