Food Photo of the Day ~ Caramel Almond Ice Cream

We are sweltering in the heat today therefore we are enjoying the homemade ice cream that my son helped me make. He placed caramel sauce between layers of ice cream that had thin slices of almonds and almond flavouring before it went in the freezer to set. Very delicious and very refreshing on such a hot day.

Have a good weekend everyone and stay cool! - JD

Breakfast and Cricket

Over the past few days we have been watching the last of the England vs. India test matches in Cricket. They have been very exciting and finished with England winning, today! Here are the breakfast I made and served during the past few matches.  

Scones with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, and a pot of Earl Grey tea.   

Pancakes, bacon, breakfast sausage with watermelon, and blackberries and a pot of Royal Assam tea.

English crumpets, deviled eggs, and bacon with a pot of Darjeeling tea.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! - JW  

Charlotte Watson's Chicken Egg Holder

The other day I received this nice surprise in the mail. An egg holder to go with my Charlotte Watson butter box. In Canada one always keep the eggs in the refrigerator however I noticed in England rarely are eggs put into cold storage. The chicken lid is hollowed out inside which makes stacking 8-10 large eggs easy. To find out more about the Henry Watson and Charlotte Watson Pottery click *here*
