Well, dinner tonight was a mixed success... the chicken was *interesting* to say the least, lol! Miss A and Miss L both ate it, but unsurprisingly Miss N turned up her nose at it. I guess I can't complain, at least she ate her vegies for a change ;)
The icecream, though, was awesome and disappeared rather quickly. I have had the recipe for ages, it is soooo simple and so versatile. Just whip 600ml of cream until soft peaks form, then slowly add 400ml homemade condensed milk, (about 1 tin of the bought stuff ) To this base you add whatever flavouring you like... fruit, nuts, topping, etc and pop in the freezer for about 2 hours, take it out and whip again, then just pop it back in til frozen. Easy peasy :D
I am trying to make more food "from scratch", recycle more, buy less and just live a more mindful life in general. This week I have pledged not to buy bread or icecream any more, to buy as many of our clothes at Op-shops as possible and to make all cards and most gifts (some people just don't appreciate a homemade gift- crazy, huh?!!) I have found a great blog, Down to earth, with some great advice and support. I will be making the cold pressed soap next week ;)
