Loved loved loved this book!
Our monthly book group convened at mine on Wednesday night to discuss ‘One Day’ by David Nicholls – a book given to me by Jon for Christmas which I had been dying to read and then had the chance to, and not only that but also share the experience with good friends! I loved this book….. the idea is that it follows two people, Emma and Dexter through 25 years of their lives but you only see one day a year – the 15th July! Great concept and a real page turner – Vic read it in 3 days (and she has been known to purchase the audiobook in the past!).
Digging in to quesadillas...
Anyway, I thought I would continue the Mexican theme that seems to be infiltrating all my cooking at the moment, especially as Cinqo de Mayo was the next day – that and I couldn’t think of any Star Wars themed nibbles to deliver for May the 4th be with you!
I made quesadillas from Nigella Express, adapting them to omit the parma ham and including olives as the veggie option. This was followed by Margarita Ice Cream (again from Nigella Express). Jon was doubtful when I said I would be making this, but it really was the fastest ever ice cream and I didn’t even need my ice cream maker!! Just a bit of forward planning as I made it in 5 minutes (actual time!) on Tuesday night! The ice cream was a massive hit and I am now inspired to try other cocktails, turned into frozen desserts – Long Island Ice Tea Granita may be next!
Anyway, here is the link for the recipe: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/margaritaicecream_87463
and the most amazing margarita ice cream!!
