Checkmate Kate - you've taken the King!










Last Weekend saw the most Beautiful Wedding celebration of the decade. Eagerly setting my alarm for 7am to get up and turn the television on to watch it, i was also busy setting up my own celebration... Me and my boyf decided to throw our own Royal Wedding Party to celebrate their love. Whilst making cucumber sandwiches and hanging our bunting we emotionally sat and watched with the world Kate say 'i do' to her prince. It was a magical day thank you Kate and Will, and a wonderful evening with friends and family, Thank you all.

Mama’s Trashy-Good Orange Crush Sherbet. Like a Creamsicle® on Crack.


Haha, i was looking for recipes to make some savoury palmiers when i came across this food blog ezra pound cake, and i've never chuckled to myself so bad in so long so i had to share it with you, excellent recipes, mega photographs and fabulous wit... take a look...

Blurb to go with Mama's trashy orange crush sherbet

"Parchment paper. Ramekins. Candy thermometers. These are tools for when it’s less than 100 degrees F outside...

But when you make that first trip to the mailbox that leaves you sweating like a whore in church, it’s time to downshift into Summer Mode and survive on foods that require as little effort as possible. Leftover peach cobbler for breakfast. Tomato sandwiches. Big salads. Vegetable plates. Pimento cheese. BLTs. And a batch ofMama’s Trashy-Good Orange Crush Sherbet.

My mom has been making this sherbet since the beginning of time. When Adam and Eve were booted from the Garden of Eden, my mom handed them each a cone of orange sherbet and told them to stay out of the tall grass or they’d get chiggers. I can’t imagine a summer without a bowl. Sure, you could make an orange sherbet with actual fruit juices, but something about the trashy triumvirate of Orange Crush soda, sweetened condensed milk and canned crushed pineapple makes me giddy. Stir them together, pour them directly into your ice cream maker, and you get an orange sherbet that tastes like a Creamsicle on crack.

So sweet. So cold. So, so wrong. "
