for fabulously frugal food
Dinner with friends and family last night was lovely, of course! Lots of chat and laughter. Got home very late and slept only fitfully, so am pretty tired today. It seems to be that if I miss what my system considers to be my sleeping ‘slot’, it gets all out of kilter...
Picked lots and lots of raspberries and loganberries from the canes in the garden this afternoon, they’re doing really well. Lots more to come yet. So, you know what I’m going to say now don’t you! Yes, I made some raspberry ice cream! It thickened up so nicely in the...
Although I have four extremely large tins of mandarins, I opened a much smaller one yesterday to try mandarin flavour ice cream. I had the second pot of double cream to use, but no more yogort. So I thought I’d try it with just cream to see what the difference was....

Coffee yogort sounds a bit strange I know, but it tastes really good. I had a little after dinner this evening and it was delicious
Remember this? Instant semi-freddo After dinner this evening, DP announced that he wanted a pudding. He was angling after a crumble, but I really didn’t want to make one. So I dug out a bag of mixed berries from the freezer, picked out all the strawberries and whizzed...
A no-bake cheesecake, topped with a fruit compote, or what you will. Very moreish, so I only make it in small portions!
apple sponge done in the microwave, and apple compote with mixed spice, served with raisin pancakes – yum
