Rock melon. Cantaloupe. It doesn't matter what you call it, it still tastes the same.
I walked into the supermarket this morning and suddenly I could smell the delicious aroma of ripe rock melon. Quickly rounding an aisle, I found the display and immediately picked one up to sniff. H-e-a-v-e-n-l-y.
My kids used to get embarrassed when I sniffed the produce but for rock melons and pineapples there is no better way to tell if they're ripe and ready to eat. Now they sniff the produce and have to explain to their bemused friends what they're doing!
Son#5 has just made up the mix for ice cream and it's chilling before it goes in the ice cream maker. Just before Christmas I had acquired some 'points' by using my credit card and I decided to use them on something I would not normally buy - and so the ice cream maker. It's a fun thing to do with the kids - or for them to do themselves.
If all goes according to plan we will have chocolate hazelnut ice cream for dessert. I'm not usually a fan of ice cream, but this one is irresistible. I'm just not sure how it will go with rock melon!

And the ice cream? Oh my goodness, chocolate hazelnut?! That is one of my most favorite flavor combos! And homemade ta-boot. I'm jealous!
Your ice cream sounds YUMMY!
