If you’ve never been to the Catskill Mountains in upstate
NY, it’s definitely worth a trip. The scenery is gorgeous, the air is fresh,
and the water flows crystal clear.
Doug and I were fortunate to have been able to squeeze in
a few days in Windham, NY, a popular winter ski attraction, to spend time with our daughter Mandy,
her boyfriend, Ron, and Lucy, the beagle. The weather was gorgeous – sunny,
warm, with just a hint of cool in the air.
Mandy took us to the local Greek-owned store to pick up a
few treats for our stay. Among our purchases were tasty sesame cookies and a
container of Kulfi Pistachio Cardamom ice cream. Man-oh- man was that ice cream
terrific!
Never mind a hot, spicy meal, just give me a bowl of that
to-die-for ice cream!
When we got back to Florida, I had an uncontrollable
craving for this stuff. Fortunately, I discovered a suitable substitute at our
local Publix supermarket – pistachio frozen yogurt studded with
pistachio pieces. After sprinkling a little ground cardamom on it, I closed my
eyes, took a taste, and pretended I was eating the real McCoy. (It was pretty
good, actually.) Another plus – the Publix frozen yogurt has much less fat and
fewer calories than the Adirondack brand, and that’s a good thing! For an extra special touch, pour a little rose water on top.

What a wonderful sounding ice cream flavor, I will have to try to recreate that sometime. I love the Catskills, we used to spend many weekends there when I was growing up.
