Sometimes in the summer, the UW creamery, Babcock Hall, makes peach Melba ice cream – peach ice cream with a raspberry swirl. I’ve been looking for it hopefully at the ice cream counter at the student union, but it has not materialized.

Last night I was all ready to eat the last of the 5-quart bucket of vanilla with chocolate sauce. Then I remembered that I had a couple of nice ripe nectarines, and some raspberry sauce (filling actually, from the raspberry bars at the last summer supper). So, I topped my dish of ice cream with those. It was almost as good as the Babcock Hall peach Melba – a few little ice chips here & there – it was the bottom of the bucket of ice cream, after all. And missing the peach-y creaminess of peach ice cream as a base, because I only had vanilla.
