I see your delicious ice cream and raise you Julia Child waxing philosophical and chopping stuff.

Good Food Weekend
Finished work early yesterday so I had time to roam around town for a while and found some nice (and, for us, unusual) bits of meat.
So, today, we had a kind of egg drop soup for lunch (nice reasonably spicy chicken broth thickened with okra, with a few other thinly sliced veggies, some duck confit--and, of course, an egg) and, for dinner, a small dry-aged beer-cooler-sous-vide steak with assorted seaweeds, some pan-fried polenta (SO GOOD) and sauteed mushroom (one the ginger had found while out walking and that probably will not kill us).
And, for dessert, a very chocolatey chocolate zabaglione (zabaione, sabayon, Za'ab Ayon al'Chocolate). Basic recipe: whip three egg-yolks in a bain-marie (just warming up) with a bit of tasty sugar until very fluffy, let it heat up properly, mix in a small amount of really dark chocolate, whisk in a nice sweet wine (usually a marsala wine; I have had a bit of leftover moscatel dessert wine lying in the fridge for a while so I used that). Serve warm!
I love eggs and I esp. love custard.
Tomorrow, we'll have some leftover soup that I'll change a little, and for dessert I'll try my hand at cooking secreto iberico de bellota. There's just no easy way to say that. It's a part called "secreto" and the animal is a spanish breed of pig called iberico and this one was allowed to wander around gorging itself on acorns. It tastes delicious in restaurants, we'll see if I can do right by it :o

I had a bit of an ice cream binge today, but healthily! I had frozen half a dozen bananas and we defrosted them a bit, blitzed them in a blender and then mixed them with either strawberries or dark chocolate spread to make delicious fruity ice cream and milkshakes. I can get a bag of 12 bananas for £1 and you only need a tiny bit of chocolate spread or a couple of strawberries to flavour it, so it's a much cheaper treat as well as being healthier.

This sounds really good! I need to try it.
