July Open thread


  


Summer's still in full swing, and that also brings about our country's birthday and

how we celebrate is a gift to us by reflecting on the historical events that happened throughout our history.  









Keep the fun, the laughter and togetherness













Enjoying the homemade cookouts, the laughter and make sure there are enough
citronella candles to keep the flies and insects away.  















Add the sweets and cheer wherever you go













Kick back and remember the good days of a pool party















As the light fades in the west, we wait just a little longer.  On a warm summer night in the South this was the place.  Watch the whole thing, with Elvis "Dixieland" at the end.  This is the famous Laser Show.  They would shine the colored strobes to trace out the horses on the carvings.  We all know things are a bit scary, but hold true, we are moving forward.  God bless the USA.













Or some may just want a night to see the fireworks
















Don't forget the red white and blue berry trifle treats.




Now an easy way to do this.  Get a sponge cake from the store, break it
into pieces, put in the glass like a parfait.  Things are in a rush these days and though a homemade treat is always the best,
this will help to make it much easier.

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Lotus Ice-Cream Sandwiches

 Lotus Ice-Cream Sandwiches

Recipe by Lisa Starr, Meatland 

https://www.meatland.net/recipes


4-Ingredient Luscious Lotus Ice-Cream Sandwich


See notes for alternative Peppermint Crisp Tart Ice-Cream Sandwich pictured above.1 - 2 packages Lotus cookies250 ml 38% cream1/2 tin condensed milk1/2 - 3/4 cup melted Lotus spread Generous pinch Maldon salt1: Beat the cream till thickened then beat in the condensed milk.

2: Add the melted Lotus spread - simply place open jar in the microwave for 40 seconds and whatever you don't use will firm up as it cools - and generous pinch of salt and swirl through till well mixed but still streaky.

4: Line a large foil tray with baking paper - this is important as you need to remove the frozen ice-cream to slice later - and place Lotus biscuits in rows with the 'front' facing down.

5: Carefully scoop over the cream mixture and smooth out evenly then top with rows of Lotus biscuits in the same configuration as base but this time the 'front' will be facing upwards.

6: Freeze overnight then remove using paper extending from sides of tin and slice into Lotus cookie sandwich bars. Return to freezer till ready to serve.

PEPPERMINT CRISP TART ICE-CREAM SANDWICH 

Enjoy the iconic Peppermint Crisp Tart in ice-cream form. 

Make the caramel ice-cream as described above, swirling in either the melted Lotus OR dulce de leche, then add a couple of chopped up Peppermint Crisp bars. 

Assemble exactly as above but use Tennis Biscuits instead of Lotus Biscuits. Utterly decadent and so easy.COOK'S NOTES:  Don't be tempted to 'sample' a couple of Lotus biscuits before you have assembled your tray.

It's guaranteed those will be the two or three you'll need to complete the dish. This easy condensed milk ice-cream can be used in multiple ways by adding everything from coffee to halva to berries and so much more. Remaining condensed milk can keep in the refrigerator or double the recipe and make more ice-cream with different flavors.

For a non-dairy version, beat 3 eggs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 250 ml parve ( non-dairy ) cream together for at least 5 minutes till thickened, then proceed as above by adding melted Lotus

Ideal for summer and no ice-cream machine needed. 


Enjoy
