Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
We recently got one of those ice cream gizmos that can (among other things) turn a brick of frozen fruit into a sorbet. It’s surprising how good something incredibly basic like canned pineapple turns out.
Haven’t tried any actually adventurous recipes yet.
I have one of those basic ones you put a special bowl in the freezer ahead of time then take it out and put it into the spinning thing to make the ice cream. Got it as a wedding present so it’s lasted quite a long time! Though various parts are held together with duct tape, it still works well.
I don’t think I’ve every tried to make sorbet. I might have early on, it was a long time ago. I ended up with a nice base ice cream recipe I liked then have added various things over the years. I made hokey pokey a few times, that was pretty good. Lots of orange chocolate chip which is always a favourite. I’ve thrown strawberries or raspberries in to a vanilla base which is pretty good. I should try some others but don’t really use it too much these days.
