So sorry for the little blog sabbatical, I'm sure all 8 of you were just lost without my pointless ramblings!
Last night we went to Josh's parents for dinner, so I decided to bake a peach cobbler (recipe by Paula Dean) and I made homemade ice cream (recipe by David Lebovits). I’m not sure why I always decide to try a new untested recipe for social events !?!? The cobbler was way too sweet and the "crust" was more of a cake. The ice cream was the most decadent ice cream I've ever had! It was sooo rich and creamy and intensely sweet, I think next time I'll dilute the mixture by adding a 3 cups of milk after the custard is added. So in short, the cobbler recipe will be tossed, and the ice cream recipe will receive a few modifications and then be added to my binder of yum yum.
We came home and enjoyed a nice sunset on the deck with the buddies pretending to casually walk by the tomato plants but really trying to score some of the fruit! Sneaky dogs! And then this freaky beetle few into my face and back inside we went.
If you’ve ever been into my candle booth for an event, you may have noticed I really like the flora’s! I need to balance things out with some new citrus and fruit fragrances and lately I’ve been agonizing over these for different citrus samples on my desk. 1) Seems to have a lemony top note which makes me thing of two things, a clean house and the cleaner used to achieve said cleanliness. 2) Smells of blood orange and a hint of chocolate. 3) Has a pungent combination of lime, lemon and grapefruit and 4) smells of orange juice and mandarins. I’ve got my handy test strips so I’ll dip them into the oils and see what the dry out smells like tomorrow.
