As my hand writing has become so illegible, that even I have trouble when I go back and look at things I have written it is clearly time to take technology in hand. Our label maker is now my (Alex's) personal scribe so that ice creams and all of the ingredients prepped as we work through recipes will all be easily read and recognizable to us both. We have not let the blue tape go as it makes removing the labels from the containers much easier, cleaner, and quicker. In fact, another benefit of the label maker and blue tape combo is that I will have less ink smudge marks both on my hands and on our containers. Sure, this is a small adjustment, though once adopted it can only make cooking a more pleasurable experience.
The container pictured is our newest ice cream, part of a new ice cream and caviar combo now that wild char roe is available.
