It can't hurt to ask Brice if there's anything he would want/need for the island. I know JE is planning on heading there from NY and we can put some things on the plane. Thanks!

First batches of granola have turned out nicely. I am still adjusting the recipe bit by bit. Ice creams are made and came out amazing. started with simple straight forward versions of vanilla, chocolate and double dark chocolate. Next batch of chocolate I plan on making with the Maison du Chocolat cocoa powder so it should resemble the flavor profile of the hot chocolate... The Paco Jet works wonders with these recipes. Next up I'm going to work on some summer flavors like buttermilk/blueberry and roasted strawberry. sorbets are in the works as well. I went to Union Square green market and scoped out some produce this morning. There is a ton of great stuff right now turnips, arugula, snap peas, baby leeks, tomatoes to name a few. First of the season strawberries are here and in 2 weeks Tri Star strawberries (king of the strawberries) will be here. I know only 2 farmers that grow them and they are amazing. tmrw I will make sorbet
