Maxibon by Moonlight

On Saturday night we went to the Moonlight Cinema in the botanic gardens.  It was hot so we thought we would indulge in an ice-cream before the movie began.  They had Connoisseur and Maxibon.  My date had never tried Maxibon and I said I would eat anything he chose.

The chocolate coated side (compound chocolate) is better than the soft biscuit side.  It might be the crispy bits in the chocolate that make it more tasty or texturally exciting.  The chocolate itself if fairly generic and the vanilla is quite plain.  A little sickly sweet compared to fresh ice-cream made by one of the artisan ice-creameries we have been frequenting.

At least the movie was good.  We saw "Labour Day" with Josh Brolin and Kate Winslet.  Josh Brolin's character is terrific (even though he plays a criminal wanted by the police).  There is a lot to be said for a man who can make a nectarine pie, fix a stair, repair a car's engine and show a poor stooped kid the canopy of leaves above his head.
