Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches

It's hard to improve upon the magnificence of the ice cream sandwich, but chefs in Los Angeles have done just that. At the Churro Borough, you can eat ice cream sandwiches made between pieces of fresh churro:

Imagine this: warm, freshly fried, spiral-shaped churros the size of cookies—but thicker, like a small donut—holding, ever-so-gently, a creamy scoop of caramel peach ice cream. The churro is fluffy yet crisp, with a thick layer of cinnamon sugar clinging to its delicate surface. The ice cream, made from a custard base, leaves nothing to the imagination. It's rich and cool and just what you've been waiting for all week long.

Simply Cute Children Meals by Little Nummies


Sea Turtle Waffle

Don't let my kids see this, or they won't stop bugging their mother to make their food this way. Actually, on second thought, let me call over my kids ... Kidding, wifey! Kidding!

Kellie Strickland of Little Nummies got the idea of making simple yet fun food while making meals for her three girls. Now, we've all seen fantastically creative bento boxes - but those are often pretty intricate. Instead, Strickland decided to "inspire everyone, with simplicity, to play with their food."

Where Does Decaf Come From? ...and Other Burning Questions About Coffee

Whether you take it with cream and sugar, as a latte or frappuccino- coffee can get complicated. Fortunately, mental_floss is here to unlock the mysteries of the dark drink that brightens your mornings.

Q: WHERE DOES DECAFFEINATED COFFEE COME FROM?

It's pretty simple. To make decaf, you start out with regular coffee beans and then take out the caffeine. Manufacturers usually begin the process by steaming fresh beans until they're moist and swollen. Next, the caffeine is extracted using a solvent, such as water, ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, or highly pressurized carbon dioxide. Then the beans are steamed and dried again, which removes any residue from the solvent. This process rarely gets all the caffeine, but according to U.S. law, it doesn't have to. For coffee to be labeled decaf, only 97.5 percent of its caffeine must be removed. On average, a cup of regular coffee has 115 mg. of caffeine, while a cup of decaf has about 3 mg.

Q: WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THE CAFFEINE ONCE IT'S EXTRACTED?

It would be a shame for all that caffeine to go to waste. So, coffee manufacturers save the jittery gold and sell it to soft drink makers and pharmaceutical companies. In the end, the caffeine winds up in your Coke and NoDoz.

Q: HAS COFFEE EVER BEEN ILLEGAL?

Not in the United States -although many Mormons and Rastafarians abstain from coffee for religious reasons. But back in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ottoman Empire cracked down on coffee, suspicious of its stimulating effects. The most notable ban came under Sultan Murad IV, who ran the empire from 1623 to 1640. Concerned about his subjects congregating in coffeehouses, Murad declared that anyone found with a cup of joe would be met with a beating. Those unlucky enough to get nailed with a second offense were sewn up inside a burlap bag and dumped in the Bosphorus Strait.

Q: WHY IS AGED COFFEE BETTER? WHEN I LET IT SIT AROUND MY HOUSE, IT JUST GETS STALE.

If Donut Holes Were Savory, They'd Be Bantams

I don't know about you guys, but I simply love a good bagel with cream cheese. They even make a great to-go snack when you sandwich them together. If that still isn't portable enough for you though, perhaps you need a Bantam -a tasty bite-sized bagel already stuffed with cream cheese. You can get a hold of them at Batntam Bagels in New York, but, if you're not in New York, you'll have to stick with bagel sandwiches for the time being.

Cheddar Cheese Ice Cream Sandwich

(Photo: Veronica Meewes)

Ice cream is yummy. So is a good, sharp cheddar cheese. Why not combine them? That's what Paul Qui and his creative team did:

Before the highly anticipated Qui opened in Austin, Texas earlier this summer, pastry chef Monica Glenn began to develop an aged cheddar ice cream inspired by the frozen cheese confections executive chef Paul Qui enjoyed as a child in the Philippines. Next, sous chef Jorge Hernandez developed delicate cajeta waffle cookies and it morphed into a toothsome ice cream sandwich with a cult following.
