I'm planning to make ice cream this week. Having used the ice cream maker enough times, I knew I needed to freeze the cylinder ahead of time. Which isn't a big deal, until you've seen our freezer!
Having no other options, I told Matt we needed to clear some things out of there; I had a feeling we'd both forgotten what was actually in there.
I used up a lone sheet of puff pastry with some Veat 'chicken', smoked Gouda and veggie bacon, as well as cooking up some frozen hash browns, just to get them out of there.
I suggested to Matt that he make some pasta, with left-over arrabiata sauce, and some sausage from the freezer. He liked the idea, and used a mint lamb sausage.
He got a good, spicy dish (that sauce is hot, you know), as well as lunch for tomorrow. And I got enough freeze space to chill the ice cream maker!
So, look for an ice cream post, as well as some Mediterranean dishes, coming up.
