Try making garlic ice cream, I know it sounds silly but it is delicious, the contrast of the tangy garlic and the frozen ice cream/sorbet is wonderful.

Here is a recipe I enjoy. I call it Boozy Fruit.
Take 1/2 cup dried (not candied!) fruit (pineapple, cherries, apples, apricots... use stuff that is colorful), chopped fine. Add 1/2 cup of favorite spirit; I like light rum. Cover, and let sit overnight. The next day, make vanilla ice cream. Towards the end of its mixing, drain the fruit in a fine sieve, pressing to remove as much of the spirit as you can (retain liquid and enjoy from an aperitif glass), then add fruit to the ice cream.
It is important to drain the mix well, as alcohol inhibits freezing. The ideal result is a firm, smooth ice cream with fruit that is unfrozen.

I shall try. But which spirit...

I use rum, as it's not masked by the fruit and goes quite well with the vanilla. Think of this as an excuse to experiment

Nigella has a recipe for Gin and Tonic Jelly[^] which could be right up you alley.
Mind you, I'm surprised to see it contains no white powders...

If the bowl on your new mixer is large enough then that's just perfect.
Did you get the 5ltr bowl option?

I believe it's 4.5l, but still damned big enough for me. I made 500g of pastry the other night - that'd been two loads in my old machine - with no problems.

Sounds like a great machine, our new Coffee BeanToCup machine the missis and I got as a Christmas present to each other has been great, I've already had to de-scale it! I think its done around 200 cups since Christmas day.

I have had my Kitchenaid Coffee machine for five years now and apart from a wee blip with one of the pumps it is great. I use a burr grinder for my beans and I probably have 5-6 cups a day. It needs to be descaled every month or so and the steam outlet has to be cleaned out every week; otherwise it gets gunged up even with clean-steam.
I am the only coffee drinker here, so usage is reduced on that count, but I am home most days.

Have fun with that, Nagy! I'm still working through all the recipes in the new Korean cookbook I got for Christmas, 101 Ways to Wok Your Dog. The folks at the shelter are starting to suspect something, though...

What are difference between Technology and Science? Technology is a child of Science or both have no relationship.
|
|
|
|
|
Technology is the application of scientific learning married with engineering and mathematics.
Science is a pure, reasoned approach to acquiring and processing data into information in a logical and methodical manner.

What is the difference between an apple and a low orbit satellite? Same kind of question.
Science is a type of rigorous study. Ideas taken through to proof.
Technology is, at best, the application of the proof into a usable form.

0. You can't eat a low orbit satellite.

You know, Isaac, I cannot eat the apple as well.

I dunno, an albatross is technically a low orbit satellite.
Although I wouldn't want to eat one.
Sea birds are virtually inedible, (Procellariiformes have salt ejecting tubenoses and thus a high saline tolerance, yuck!)

What about an apple that has been put into low Earth orbit?

That is called a satellite.
