I keep talking about the ice cream I've been making since I got my ice cream maker. So, this is the amazingly yummy (but extremely indulgent) strawberry clotted cream ice cream I made yesterday, served with gingerbread biscuits - you can't quite see but the spoon is also heart shaped!
And here is some raspberry frozen greek yoghurt that I mentioned a while ago (but made again tonight) churning round in the ice cream machine. This goes well with lemon madeira cake. It might also go well with almond or coconut macaroons.I looked for a book about ice cream in the library at lunchtime, but they were all out, however, I came away with Rachel Allen's Bake which I'm looking forward to reading and finding something to make from. I think I've identified what I will make from Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer, but that will probably be next weekend, as although I intend to bake something tomorrow night, it needs to involve strawberries!
Ooh, and the Ka saga is over - she's home! (I can now reunite myself with my welly boots and my Hits of 1996 CD). I also arrived home to four of my new Persephone books, somewhat appropriately since it is their birthday today. I was too eager to see what had arrived, as I would have taken a picture of the envelope to tantalise you, but you'll have to wait until the rest arrive for some Persephone visual delights. I'll leave you with a picture of my car before heading off to take the raspberry frozen yoghurt out of the machine and sit down with Authenticity.
Happiness is a parcel from Persephone! I broke down and placed an order half an hour ago, so The Shuttle and They Knew Mr Knight will be on their way soon. The free book that I chose was A London Child of the 1870's. Your ice cream looks delicious by the way, how long does it take to make a batch?
ReplyDeleteI thought you might ;)
ReplyDeleteThey knew Mr Knight is a good read (although I've not read it in the Persephone edition), and I've got The shuttle waiting. A London Child was one of my books too - it is one of my favourite books of all time, so I really hope you enjoy it.
Ice cream takes about 30 minutes, depending on how much you make. This makes a very soft scoop, so I tend to then put it in the freezer for a few hours. (This is assuming that the plastic base unit has been in the freezer overnight beforehand). I am eating way too much ice cream at the moment! And it is all mainly pink (as you've probably guessed by now, pink is my favourite colour (and I would have got a pink car if one had been available!).
I adored The Shuttle.
ReplyDeleteI also see that we have the same car :). Well, kinda, my Ka is actually my mum's and is at home in Glasgow whilst my boyfriend does all the driving (to the supermarket and back) here.
I love my Ka. My boyfriend has a massive Vectra and can't understand why I love it so much. It's so easy to park :) Now that my boyfriend lives in my flat, it feels like it's my only private space, so I keep lots of things in it (no books actually, mainly cds)(although I've often wondered if I should have an emergency book in the glove box - I've resorted to reading car manuals before when stuck in the car!)
