Aporreado, also known as aporreadillo is a dish that my friends Manolo and Geninne served when we visited them in Santa Fe New Mexico.

Peanut Butter Ice Cream is an old-fashioned flavor. However, making ice cream at home during the summer is an old-fashioned past-time. A peanut butter flavored ice cream makes sense!
