Fwd: Butterbeer

Well, who'd have thunk it..!

I can't believe this worked, just a whim took us from watching to actually consuming!

For 2 small glasses (it's sweet, warm and fizzy so a small glass is PLENTY!)

1x15ml spoon golden syrup

  1x15ml spoon caramel ice cream topping

   2x15ml spoons butter

Cream soda, sparkling water or lemonade to top up glasses

Place syrup, topping and butter in a microwaveable container. Heat on high/med power until bubbling. Allow to cool slightly, stirring well. Divide &

Pour into 2 glasses, top up with the soda and stir well.

Serve immediately !

We used lemonade, but we think cream soda would give a better vanillary taste....careful though IT'S V V V SWEET!

Probably....The most delicious crab sandwich in the world

Lightly toasted wheaten bread, baby gem lettuce, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes - halved,  a dollop of seafood sauce, squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a sprinkle of sea salt & freshly ground black pepper and fresh white crab meat!  Dive in!

It's frothy Man...!

What a wonderful invention!  Frothy milk using a brilliant contraption from BIALETTI   

Our wonderful friends introduced us to this, and it's been used almost every day - it can bring skimmed milk to a thick, sublime almost "crust" of froth...very satisfying!

Something I'd love to do

Roskillys...what a surprise!

the weather was drizzly, we were all a bit fed up, so Monday saw us adventure to the other side.....of course, this was the east/south coast of Cornwall (it was rather dark too though...but not drizzly like St Ives)

Roskilly's ice cream is delicious.. we have tried on other occasions and have never been disappointed.  However, we were disappointed of the closure of the tasting/invention/hands on section of the ice cream making process....ho hum

Nevertheless, we forced ourselves....scientific research purposes only, in the spirit of comparison....to try a further 4 varieties ( in a similar vein to previous Moomaids)


Vanilla
finely mixed with tiny specks of vanilla, this was very flavoursome to the point of being almost alcoholic!

Malty Mystery
fabulous malty flavour, well balanced *Bella's Fav

Hokey Pokey
consistent flavour through out of honeycomb /cinder toffee and fab, chunky bits of toffee mixed well through the ice cream. A perennial favourite * my Fav

Raspberry Sorbet
fresh, almost jammy flavour of raspberries and with pieces of raspberries too *Mark's Fav

Moomaid of Zennor - ice cream to savour

we were lucky enough to come across a delightful story of  cows and flavours this week, and reaped the rewards!         The Moomaids of Zennor icecream have great flavours in a small cafe over looking the harbour  (to watch the many dive bombing seagulls)      We choose chocolate sorbet - rich and dark and Cornish clotted cream - creamy with just the right amount of sweetness  in 1 tub and Raspberry Sorbet - very fresh & White chocolate - creamy and sweet - covered in sprinkles and for a real treat - a flake ( completely unnecessary but we had walked up and down hills) in the other. Delicious!
