Awww Sweet Memories!

In 2004 I was blessed to be a chaperone for a school trip to Europe. I had been to a couple places in Europe before but this was trip over 17 days visiting 6 countries, 14 cities with a bunch of high school students. It was a blast! Our first stop on the trip in Europe was in Frankfurt, Germany. During our short stay, we ate some lunch and tried a wonderful dessert called Spaghetti Eis. Ice cream sundae that looks like a dish of spaghetti... YUM.

Over the summer months this year I located and purchased a Spaghetti Ice Creamer machine. This is like a big garlic mincer looking tool and you push softened ice cream through it. Then top the "spaghetti" with a strawberry puree and top with "parmesan cheese" made up of grated white chocolate. You can add "meatballs" made of chocolate balls or "pepper" (finely grated dark or milk chocolate). It is really just a fun dessert to have.

Here is a photo of my first attempt at making it.

Christmas crafting

I have finally gotten a couple things started on my Christmas crafting. My first attempts at making these and I like how they have turned out. So I guess I will be making more eventually.

I made 3 of them for now.
