Derby time: Where to find cobbled ice?
My husband's birthday falls on derby weekend so we like to make a big deal out of making mint juleps - I even got us pewter cups last year. Thing is we can never find in grocery stores those nice, perfectly rounded mini balls of cobbled ice like you get in cocktail bars. Anyone know of how to find cobbled ice in the nyc?
Best way to use quality Heavy Cream
Purist or expert I am not! I used a Jamie Oliver recipe that called from "double cream" but I went with this stuff instead. It was super delicious.

The whole milk from this farm is non-homogenized, but I don't know if that is the same for the heavy cream.
I have plans to make a plum torte tonight and will definite be whipping some of the cream!

All great suggestions. Thanks.
Yes, I love Milk Thistle milk - I do buy a quart of their skim or low fat milk every week - when you get in the routine of returning the bottles its not so bad.
Best way to use quality Heavy Cream
I splurged at the farmers market (union square) and bought some pricey organic quality heavy cream from Milk Thistle Farms. I used it to make an extremely successful carbonara with some bacon I had from at trip to Blue Hill at Stone Barns last weekend. But I really don't know what else to make with this nice heavy cream.
The woman at the Milk Thistle stand said it whips up like a dream so I suppose I will try that - but any other suggestions for recipes that really make the quality of the cream shine? Any good uses for heavy cream that I could make at home this week?
