Love Dessert Style...long overdue Pt.2

I've become so engrossed in this process of sampling new desserts that I got distracted and didn't post for a while. Mea culpa.
But to continue on where I left off, I realized that Blackberry ice cream was a passing fancy and so was ready for a new dessert to capture my senses. Needless to say, summer is a season full of ripe opportunities. I was able to try a Raspberry Chocolate Cake. He was heavenly to look at, but not quite what I wanted. I tried a Dutchie, a good old Canadian standby and did like him a lot, but was intrigued by another.
It turns out that I have a thing for strawberries. In fact, strawbery ice cream has been my favorite choice of desserts for years. I love how it is the perfect capper to a heavy meal, how it can make the sorrow of bad love melt away and well..it's just darn good. :) But I shall tarry no longer, onto my dating escapades!

When I met Strawberry Ice Cream, he seemed the type that would at least stick around for a few years. He was a perfectly sweet treat to taste at first and quite a satisfying delight after the dessert letdowns of the summer. He was rich, he was creamy, quite a sight to behold, but he carried with him a cloying aftertaste that started to annoy. What seemed like the beauty of time-tested and delightful homemade ice cream, turned out to be a shallow store-bought brand with no depth or true quality of ingredients to it.
This left me a bit shaken, as Strawberry ice cream had always been my fall back flavor of choice and hadn't disappointed previously. But his particular brand was an imposter, made up of chemicals and additives that would cause one more trouble than it was worth over time. So willingly and gladly, I threw away the remaining portion into the trash and walked away a bit wounded but happy to move onto my next dessert adventure.

Wish me luck,
