I've been using the recipes in the book. I usually make the chocolate ice cream - just the basic recipe, not the fancy one with the eggs. I know what you mean about the film in your mouth. I find the chocolate doesn't do that like the vanilla. I've made mint chocolate chip with that recipe that has had varied results. I'll have to try the lemon sorbet when we get back from our trip - that sounds yummy!

Saturday was Farm Market Day here. Not much fresh stuff yet, but I did find spring garlic. So what to do with a bunch of spring garlic? Stopped at the fish store on the way home, and the grocery store next to it. Here's what I made:
Sautee diced spring garlic and carrots in butter or olive oil.
Add a splash of white wine (I had one of those mini bottles from the plane)
Toss in a pound of mussels and steam til open, remove from heat.
Remove mussels from pot.
Add a few good dollops of sour cream to broth, + a good fistful of peeled fresh prawns, and one diced monkfish filet. Simmer til the fish is cooked.
Add the mussels back, more white wine if sauce is too thick by now, also a few herbs if you have some handy.
Enjoy with garlic bread, or rice, or pasta.
MMmmmmmm! Doesn't have to be "junk" food to be sinful, or fast food to be quick.
And I have one bowlful left for tonight still.Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

That sounds good! I think we're having homemade spaghetti tonight. I have a quick recipe for sauce that is soooo tasty. It does have some whipping cream in it. I know it sounds wierd, but it's great. I found the recipe in "Cooks Illustrated". Great recipe and great magazine. No ads and scientific approach to cooking and cookware and product reviews. Very cool. Oh no, I'm drifting in my own thread... again.

Are Twinkies the ones with some kind of uber-white fake cream stuff covered in a layer of distant-relative-of-sponge-cake that taste like they've been dipped in pesticide before packaging? I ate one of them once, just to see if I would live to tell the tale...

This is where that was discussed.

Hubby's gone this week, and when that happens I usually eat poorly.
