Dime bar ice cream

I've never made ice-cream before last week, when I came across this Nigella Lawson recipe which I couldn't resist trying out. I always thought ice cream was really hard to make but this really wasn't that bad, just a bit time consuming. It was delicious and I was surprised with how ice-cream-like it turned out, so it'll definitely be something I'll be making again! The only problem is that it doesn't feed that many people, I'd consider trying to double the recipe for the next time I think.

The recipe here says to pour into an ice cream maker at the end but if you don't have one, pour into a covered container and put it in the freezer. Then give it a quick beat on the hour, every hour for three hours. Its not as bad as it sounds once you're not in a rush!!

Calamari

Yum. A few weeks ago Sally and Paul cooked up these little tasty numbers, they were very very tasty! They got some squid, chopped it into rings, dipped it in a batter and deep fried them. Well thats the basic gist of it anyway, I'll have to get the propor details off them! As you can see, they were served will plenty of pepper and lots of lemon. I can't wait to try it out and cook them myself.
