  • 300mL cream (suitable for whipping - not low fat cream)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 pinch salt
Method: Beat the cream til it just starts to thicken. Add the milk, sugar and vanilla essence and beat til thickened. Wash the beaters (very important!) then beat the egg white in a separate bowl until it is stiff. Add the pinch of salt and beat a little more til it's shiny.  If there is any cream on the beaters or the bowl in which you are beating the egg white, it will not stiffen (learn from my mistake). Add the egg white to the cream mixture and beat it in. Now you're ready to turn it into ice cream. If you have an old 80's ice cream churn, put the ice cream in the freezer for a little while (maybe an hour) so it freezes faster in the churn. If you don't have an ice cream churn, just whack it in the freezer in a container about twice the size of the mixture quantity for a couple of hours til it's sorbet consistency. Then pull it out and use a fork to whip it up a little. If you're keen, you could beat it with the electric beaters to get more air into it. Repeat process a couple more times til it's fully frozen. I would have put a photo here, but we ate the ice cream before I could get the camera out.]]>Where's Sophia?http://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/13/wheres_sophiahttp://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/13/wheres_sophia#Comments2008-01-13T16:58:25Zkidletshttp://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/13/wheres_sophia There she is!]]>Encontro no Clube de Engenheira de Recife 08/01/08http://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/11/encontro_no_clube_de_engenheira_de_recife_080108http://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/11/encontro_no_clube_de_engenheira_de_recife_080108#Comments2008-01-11T20:55:00Zhttp://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/11/encontro_no_clube_de_engenheira_de_recife_080108
Na Terça-Feira teve no Clube de engenheira de Recife uma palestra de Manoel Damasceno, diretor de projetos da CTTU, seguida de um debate muito interessante.
  
Maisde 40 pessoas, engenheiros, arquitetos, jornalistas debateram sobre os desafieis que tem na cidade de Recife par ampliar o movimento ciclista. Foram debatidos entre outras, as questiones de seguridade, cultural e das infraestruturas. Porem que uma grande parte dos trabalhador de classe baixa precisão da bicicleta para se deslocar, esta ainda hoje muito difícil segundo Manoel Damasceno de encontrar consenso e  investimento política para desenvolver projetos de ciclovia de grande escala. Para que o projeto de ciclovia da Avenida Norte possa se ampliar a todo a cidade, falta ainda uma mudança cultural que tem que acontecer nas cabeças dos cidadão recifenses. Um potencial de mudança cultural resida   certamente como levantou um participante suíço na dimensão de prazer que trazer o fato de andar de bicicleta. Além das lutas políticas precisamos talvez também convidar nossos vizinhos e motoristas de ônibus para um passeio de bicicletas nas mas lindas ruas de nossa cidade.

My Dad made a bird house for Ashley's Christmas present, using old fence palings from the guest houses he's been renovating with my mum.

Ash has to set it up in our back yard tomorrow. Sophia had so much fun staying at my mum's guest house over Christmas, she really didn't want to come home! And no wonder... what you can't see in the photos is there's another plastic toddler playgym with slide, a boat-shaped sandpit with shade cover, the Hills swings and see-saw, and a spa under the gazebo in the garden. No way our backyard is as much fun as that!]]>Presents from the USAhttp://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/01/presents_from_the_usahttp://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/01/presents_from_the_usa#Comments2008-01-01T19:14:55Zkidletshttp://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/01/presents_from_the_usa Sophia likes the chocolate cake the best (of course).  The pink box was a big tick too. making music I think the smile says it all. She hasn't driven us insane with it yet, but I did have to remove it from her bed the first night home after Christmas. tasty! Billy says his rattle tastes just like rubberwood.

At 10pm the night before present opening, I was still finishing off making Billy's present. So what do you give a four month old who already has everything he needs handed down from his big sisters? He got a couple of decorated canvases - one with a photo of his big sisters (who give him hours of amusement every day) and the other with a photo of mummy & daddy. He seems to like them. Just waiting til he's awake tomorrow so I can hang them on his bedroom wall. He can have expensive plastic crap toys when he's old enough to ask for them.]]>Christmas 2007 - "after"http://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/01/christmas_2007__afterhttp://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/01/christmas_2007__after#Comments2008-01-01T19:06:14Zkidletshttp://www.webjam.com/marcusm/main/$the_title_of_your_blog/2008/01/01/christmas_2007__after IMG_3095.JPG Originally uploaded by efealy And this is the "after" shot.

Well technically Sophia opened it... but William smiled and watched, and played with it after it was open. Well OK, he just put it in his mouth... but it's all pretty exciting for a four month old. Thankyou Rachel, William loved the taste of his beautiful Christmas stocking!

I didn't know what I wanted to swap for, so I said "surprise me" and she made me a gorgeous bag in just the right colours for me. Pretty good given that she's never met me! Inside the bag there's a mobile phone pocket - yes, that is a new phone sticking out of it... I got a Palm Treo on eBay last week and love not having to lug the phone and PDA separately anymore. And it syncs really nicely with the iMac. Bill Gates can kiss my rosy red... oh sorry, getting a bit off topic...  The little zip pouch will be useful for so many things that shouldn't be left rolling around the bottom of the handbag. She also popped a lovely handmade soap and some cute pegs into it - Jools smelled the soap and said "oooooh special soap" in the most adorable voice. Thankyou again Kristi!
