WOW! If you do one thing this week make sure you go and see "Gone Baby Gone" at the cinema. It's absolutely amazing and Casey Affleck is very good indeed (in more ways then one!)

No trip to the pictures is complete for me without a tasty tub of ice cream, however I was slightly disappointed with my usual choice of Classic Vanilla. It was just far too runny and slightly resembled the taste of chalk - not that I know what chalk tastes like. You're probably wondering where I am goin with this! Anyway...I was sitting there trying to enjoy my 'runny chalk mixture' when it occured to me that I could make my own Ice Cream MUCH better! Well...with the help of an Ice Cream maker of course - there is no way I was going to stir my creation every hour by hand till it freezes.
So I got online (as usual) and found a lovely wee battery powered Ice Cream maker from Amazon.co.uk - at a very good price I may add. Coupled with the help of www.ice-cream-recipes.com - a delious home made Vanilla Ice Cream was born! I mixed in some raspberries and crushed some biscuit on top to be extra naughty! YUMMY! It is soooooooooo good and is, as you will guess, the whole tub is nearly finished.

So have a go yourself...it's a lot of fun and very very very easy...and very tasty! I do admire anyone who makes their own Ice Ceam by hand - I'm just not very paitent.
