Culinary Joy :-)

Good morning! What's new today? I am still basking in the glow of last night's culinary successes!! I made my leek potato and bacon soup, and dear God it was delicious!!!




If anyone cares, here is the recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/potato-leek-soup-with-bacon-recipe/index.html
The only thing I would change about the recipe is reducing the liquid a little - it asks for 4 cups stock and 2 cups water, but I think I would bring it back to 4 or 5 cups total.


My second success was my ice cream :-) This was my first attempt at making ice cream with the Kitchen Aid attachment Hubby got me for Christmas, and it was so easy and sooooooooo good!! There's loads left so it's going to be a challenge to stay out of the freezer today and not undo all the hard work I've done at the gym!




Another culinary treat last night was my wonderful hubby coming home with the pasta rolling attachment for Philippa - the one that was missing from Sunday's ravioli experiment!! I now have the ability to make perfect fresh pasta sheets, plus spaghetti and linguine! Hurrah!!




I think I shall have to abandon my original plan for tonight's dinner and play with my new toy!! Something to mull over at the gym while I'm working off last night's second bowl of ice cream .....! :-)
