“Okay, this one? It’s to die for.”
Meghan Hart smiled as her assistant, Jeannie,
went in for another scoop, closing her eyes and letting out a
moan as the pink and white ice cream disappeared between
her lips. Meghan loved this part of her job. Creating new
flavors was her jam and since she’d become the new owner
of the Angel Ice Cream parlor two months ago, she’d spent
most of her evenings trying out new combinations to entice
the tongues of her customers. This one – a strawberry and
balsamic vanilla swirl – had come to her when she was
packing up their kitchen cupboards in the short-stay
apartment she and her daughter, Isla, had been staying in,
while they waited for their long-term rental to be ready.
“You don’t think the balsamic is too acidic?” Meghan
asked, as Jeannie reluctantly put the spoon into the empty
glass dish.
“Nope. It contrasts perfectly with the sweetness of the
strawberries. And it’s so much better than the bubblegum
flavor you tried last week.” Jeannie shook her head. “That
one wasn’t the best.”
Meghan wrinkled her nose at the memory. No matter how
much she’d tried to adapt the bubblegum recipe the sugar
rush had made her wince. Creating the best ice cream meant
delicately balancing the right flavors and textures, and all
too often she ended up scrapping her experiments. But when
they worked – like this one – it was all worthwhile.
And that’s why she loved running this place.
She’d seen the for sale listing for the ice cream shop a few
months ago. Its location was perfect – in the center of the
boardwalk in the small town of Angel Sands, facing the
sparkling blue Pacific Ocean, and the golden beach that
attracted crowds of tourists in the summer. Based on the
books of the prior owners, even in the winter business was
brisk, thanks to the sweet teeth of the locals and the allyear-round surfers.
Leaning over her recipe book, she made a quick note in
the margin. She’d have to adapt a few things to make bigger
batches, but she was almost certain it was possible. “We just
need to think of a name,
” she told Jeannie. “Strawberry and
Vinegar Shortcake isn’t exactly enticing.”
“How about The Berries and the Vine?” Jeannie
suggested.
Meghan grinned. “Or maybe A Berry Vine Ice Cream?”
Jeannie winced at the pun. “I hate it but I love it.”
“Me too.”
The door to the shop opened, and a little girl came flying
in. “Mommy!” she said, throwing herself at Meghan. “Guess
what?”
“What?” Meghan smiled down at her eight year old
daughter.
