I'm sure you still have mint in your garden, so why not try to make your own mint chocolate chip ice cream? Cacao nibs stand-in for chocolate chips in this grown-up version.
This recipe comes from Patricia Wells' At Home in Provence. We've turned to this cookbook often lately - it's full of cozy provincial dishes that allow us to take advantage of the vegetables we can still get, as well as our copious amounts of pork. This is a straightforward dish, perfect for cooking after work. The wine is key - and Todd made sure to pick up some good stuff for this.
