This morning, I decided on the way in from sorting the Girls out, I would do it. I'd already decided thaat my next batch would be Cardamom and Honey, so I spent a surprisingly long time crushing and shelling cardamoms. I didn't have single cream, so I used double cream with 25% of the volume made up with milk. That might be why I had trouble getting the custard to thicken.
While I was waiting for the cardamom seeds to infuse into the hot cream. I decided ot make lemn and lime ice cream tomorrow, and I made up the lemon and lime syrup today. The fridge now has cold sort-of-custard, waiting for whipped double cream to be added and for it to be churned into ice cream; a pint jar of what looks like a urine specimen for tomorrow's lemon and lime ice cream, and a bowl of egg whites. Usually the egg whites sit in the fridge, with all good intentions for being turned into something (apart from meringue, which gives me a migraine), until I throw them out. I thought I might make a Disoronno Sour later, and actually use one of them.
The fridge also has half a white cabbage and half a red cabbage (which were going to be turned into coleslaw, but I decided to give some to the Girls yesterday to keep them occupied), some manky carrots, some cooking apples (from a previous intention to make red cabbage, which was scuppered by me not having an red cabbage), a big bag of mushrooms (which are meant ot be made into mushroom soup, which I fully intend to do in the next couple of days), some new potatoes, and lots of chicken veg.
I am going to get on and use them. I am. I really am.
