Hello!
I am pleased to report that each of my ice cream flavours tasted great! I did strawberry, raspberry & plum. The raspberry was my favourite.
I got them all out of the freezer this afternoon when Jeff woke up, got a couple of spoons and we spent some happy moments taste testing.
I also ate my beetroot with tonights salad and am relieved to report that it also tasted great (possibly not in the same league as the raspberry ice cream but hey…) It was fantastic to add another element to the salads. I think tomorrow the first tomato may be ready to use, so I can’t wait for that!!
I made a few more additions to my Texas Fund today. I friend popped over and bought $15 worth of berries and other vegies. I also went into the local handcraft shop where my calendars were being sold and picked up my earnings there.
So – seems like in total I am comfortably over a thousand dollars so far in the kitty to get myself to the States!! Not bad!
Thats all from me tonight! Hope everyone’s week is going along splendidly!
Cheers
Hi Lisa: Love your blog, pictures, and stories. One question please …
what part of Texas are you going to visit. I live in Texas 🙂
Hi Tracy! Good question! My friends live in Corpus Christi. But the actual date and location of the wedding hasn’t been decided yet – so not 100% sure yet! Would be a hoot to catch up with a few people – I’ll keep you posted!
Lisa,
Oooh i can taste those ice creams myself!! They sounded wonderful!!!
I was wondering, you mentioned in this post about your calendars selling at a craft store. I had not heard of these before. Do you mind telling us about them? You’ve got my curiosity up.
Hello – I was just sitting here thinking of dragging the raspberry ice cream out of the freezer to eat while I did tonights post! 🙂
I’ll hunt up a link for you. I made some calendars this year – some were used as Christmas presents, others I managed to sell.
I haven’t tried to add a link in a message… lets see if that works. Its a post I wrote that showed the photos I selected to print calendars of.
I was really happy to have sold a good number of them. Will certainly do it again next year. 🙂
Have you ever made pickled beets? I love them and they’re tasty on a salad too
I did it for the first time the other night with the monster beetroot! Ruby’s recipe! It turned out great Its been an awesome salad addition! Do you make them?
I’ve not made them in a long while. but I do like to eat them!
I am very much enjoying them. So glad I finally tried again to make them (first time blah, but I was winging it, recipe-less)
