Day Twenty-nine and feeling divine with only three days (including today) left. I haven't melted away, but have melted a few pounds. I'll do my last official weigh in on Thurs. so will do one more blog (at least) on Aug. 1st, so all you watchers will know grand results.
Speaking of grand results--The banana ice cream was marvelous! Simply mahvelous, dahlings!!!!!!!! I'll be making it again, but may add some banana flavoring (optional in the recipe) to boost the banana flav even more. I'm gonna get hooked on home-made. It's so fresh tasting, great texture and richness. So when I'm a dinner guest, I can bring dessert! one recipe is perfect for about 4-6 peeps, depending on servings size. If it were 6 or more, I'd definitely bring two batches. I don't know how long it keeps in the deep freeze as it hasn't lasted that long--hopefully, it doesn't get that ooey gooey sticky stringy stuff store bought turns into, especially if there's a slight melt down--ya'll know what I mean if you've opened a month old box of ice cream--it's always down the drain for me. Sometimes it's even come from the grocers in this wretched (or retched) state!
I'm thinking of trying date ice cream next--no I'm not goin' on a date to Baskin Robbins nor is it a recipe to make someone's heart melt. It's the dates that grow on trees--I could make more puns about this but will spare you. Though I won't be visiting an orchard soon, I'll be buying a bag from the baking section. Sometimes a date paste comes in a can and that would be even better. This isn't in the recipe book, so it'll be my own invention. Oh dear!!!!!! What will the Ice Cream Dieteer attempt next. Stay frozen to your PCs to stay dialed.
