Tuesday Tip

Yesterday I was cooking pasta for supper, with tiny button mushrooms and chunks of onion, capsicum and a tiny amount of fennel. I tossed all the ingredients together and thought some cream would just finish the dish.
Hmm, no cream. Well, I do like to be inventive so I took out some vanilla ice cream and tossed in a couple of dessert spoons of the stuff. Good ice cream you understand, none of that lardy nonsense.
It works! just stir it in gently and you have a fair substitute for the real thing.
I'm going to experiment with freezing (real) cream in ice trays, it may be problem getting it out but, we'll see. It's always good to have emergency supplies.
