Ice cream maker!

I have just found the yummyest ice cream recipe here It comes from a Ben and Gerry recipe book, I'm in the process of letting the mixture cool down so I can get it into the fridge. Ours is going to apple crumble.
We have a glut of apples at the moment, and quickly running out of icecream. I sort of forgot about the icecream maker over summer, I guess that's because we didn't really have one this year. And thought, apple crumble ice cream...I can't wait.

Marshmallow ice creams

I just finished making gorgeous marshmallow icecreams for elsie's birthday....what a crazy experiment marshmallow is! for anyone who might make it, may I advise, work fast!

hot and not

ok... so lubyloo must be having a break, but i'll still link to her Hot/Not post from before.

Hot

Making pommegranite sorbet with the new ice-cream machine, mmm.

Finding some very exciting French silk flower making tools...iron cutting tools that are in the shape of liitle flowers and leaves, a little blunt, but will still try them out on something. If that doesn't work, I'll sharpen them up with the dremmel.

Today was a hot day for my elsbeth to start kinder.

Not

Seeing tug-o-war over Elsbeth's pretend cakes she made at kinder, and having someone elses little tikes saying, "They're not cakes, that's play do!!". Well little dude, Elsbeth says they're cakes, back off! I say in my head, while trying not to cry, and trying not to be a total kinder/stage mother...

Having a sick little boy with a mysterious tummy bug, cleaning up throw-up and disgusting nappies.

Elsbeth acting like a different person for the last couple days...probably because Charles isn't well

Being snippy with me bloke 

The, um, french flower tools being a tiny bit expensive.....
