I strongly recommend using fresh blackberries in this blackberry fool recipe for the best flavor. Raspberries, strawberries, or a combination of all three may be used, but they should all be fresh.

Beer Floats
Depending on whom you talk to, making ice cream floats with beer is either a genius idea or a horrible mistake. The key is to choose a beer on the toasty, malty, sweeter side and stay away from beers that are too hoppy, dry, and bitter. Here I offer two recipe versions: coffee ice cream with stout and vanilla ice cream (the safest option) with a Belgian raspberry sour (or any fruity beer). I'd make a small test glass first to ensure it works for your palate.
Parmesan Garlic Bread
This garlicky parmesan bread is great with most Italian dishes. I came up with the recipe myself. It can be doubled as needed.
