I adore Halloween and just had to have a party. It was great fun, I love the dressing up, the spookiness and of course the food! My friends and I go to town making it interesting and gruesome. I found this great blog with a lot of ideas for food and ice cream cakes. One in the eye for my friend who thinks all ice cream cakes are arctic rolls and boring. Huh! I have fond memories of eating arctic rolls, anyone else remember those commercial ones? Today’s arctic rolls can be exciting, interesting and very trendy, take a look at Jamie Oliver’s retro arctic roll . Jamie also does a nice Yule log arctic roll as well but more on that in December.
I had a bit of a disaster in my kitchen last week, prior to the party. My oven blew up, its been with me a long time so sad to see it go. Left me in a bit of a bind as not of lot of cash at the moment ( had a bit of a blow out weekend just before the oven died) . Asked around and friends directed me to online loan company Ferratum.co.uk. Simple straightforward process and I am now the proud owner of a new oven and a shiny ice-cream machine, what the hell thought I deserved one. Can’t wait to start using it. I plan on making some treacle toffee ice cream for bonfire night – just having a little trouble tracking down a recipe – anyone got one?
