Wow, that is very impressive ice cream. Do you have a machine chookie?

I've had to remix my evap milk ice cream in   to get better consistency, and i think I put to much vanilla in.

Not cooking today, out to lunch and if hungry tonight we'll have smoked salmon that arrived in the post as a present, yum.

Going to have lemon Belgium tart this week too, made with limes and served with cornish clotted cream that also arrived in the post  

JoNZ I a sure there is a post by Chookie about part baking bread, good luck.

I had a very special couple for dinner last night and made capsicum & sundried tomato dip from the EDC but used almonds instead of cashews and made garlic pita toasts

Marinated pepper bundles

Bruschetta

The main was chicken roulade stuffed with mushroom & leek with potato bake, beans and baby broccoli but I didn't get a photo.
dessert was supposed to be the figgy steamed puddings which I started on Saturday but the weather was too hot so I've cooked them and will reheat for Xmas lunch tomorrow
So I made individual trifles using the brandy custard I made for the fig puddings.

I also made the white chocolate & baileys Xmas fudge from here

But I didn't have enough pistachios so I added some hazelnuts.
Very nice!
