We have finally bought an ice cream maker- and it's very exciting! So far we are offering Orange Curd ice cream and today we've made Lime and Basil ice cream (so far, this one is my favourite). These are on sale as part of our pudding menu and we are full of ideas for more delicious flavours. We both absolutely love the opportunity to invent new and unusual produce for our cafe and with the gorgeous fruit which is available at the moment, the ice cream future for Peppercorn looks promising!
Speaking of inventing - Ollie is a bit of an inventor, too - if unintentionally!
He has been known to confuse a clove of garlic with a bulb of garlic. There is quite a significant difference between the two. About 25 cloves worth of difference, in fact! So when Ollie prepared a surprise Mothers' Day meal for his unsuspecting parents, you can imagine what the surprise was. I think they had a take away that evening, and had to fumigate the house........!
SO - when I found a tub of interesting looking sauce in the fridge and was told that Ollie had made it to accompany one of our new salads, I should have been prepared - but I wasn't. Neither was Faye; nor Amy - it nearly blew our heads off! It dawned on me that I was about to leave work to go to a singing rehearsal in someones house and that Faye would be dealing closely (!) with the public at the cafe for the rest of the afternoon - so we really had to do something about our horrendously garlicky breath. Faye reminded us that parsley was nature's answer to our problem - so we ate about 3 tablespoons of parsley, each............
have you ever tried to chew 3 tablespoons of parsley?
Or swallow it?
Or get it out of your teeth?
Don't ever, ever try this at home - unless it's a party game!
Or you'll end up looking something like this!!
