Dinner Among Beautiful Orchids - Part 2

A continuation of yesterday's story (click on Dinner Among Beautiful Orchids - Part 1), the feasting continues on.

But before we get to dessert, I will regress a bit and talk about the festive tasty drink that was served.

A freshly made apple and cranberry juice (made with real fruit) with added crushed ginger. Five or six glasses later, it continued to taste fresh, yummy, not too sweet and the ginger kicking in the background. 

So good...

Then came time for dessert. "Do you like ice cream", I was asked. I usually don't and I said so, but was promised a different kind of ice cream.

And it sure was different. First, an industrial fancy looking juicer appears on the kitchen counter.

Apparently, a homogenizer is attached to the juicer that turns frozen fruits into ice cream.

And there; frozen bananas go in, no added water, cream or anything, and out they come in the form of smooth cold ice cream.

Frozen blueberries were then thrown in and out comes the blueberry ice-cream flavour.

A rich creamy ice-cream texture; nothing like a sherbet but still 100% fruit ice-cream!

And as if not enough fanciness was around, home made ginger snaps made by a friend of the hosts, along with her own made drizzle.

The drizzle was a sweet stilton cheese and lemon creation that smelled divine and tasted as unique as all the other pallet teasers tonight.



No words of thanks can truly reflect how fine, interesting and tasty this dinner was.

 Thank you again somerville orchids!
