OMG so this is the newest family member. Mom keeps saying that she's sleeping like crap cause the baby is keeping her up at night.

( HEY LOOK AT MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT GUYS )

Okay, that's my baby<333 LOOK AT HER IS SHE NOT BEAUTIFUL???

That is all.

So Disney's new movie is *hand drawn*? WOW. I might actually go see it. I mean, it also looks pretty hilarious from what I was watching. I like the crocodile. I really wish I thought it would open up here in Japan because it would be awesome to see with my friends here, but I will settle for watching it back home. :>

From here on out, spoils are rampant.

( About this week's Naruto manga )

( This week's aninaru )

Also, enough with my TV being so shitty! ARG. Watching Naruto has become PAINFUL, I have to watch via skype with senpai. ; ; Oh well, it is PRACTICE for when I am at home. XD Thankfully the episode will air on Christmas Eve should it air at all, and then NYE. Actually, the NYE episode will be slightly more difficult to catch because AHAHAHAHA I'll probably be visiting with people. Who may or may not have skype capable internets.

Erk.

Lastly, American TV time.

( Glee. )

LASTLY: I have reached 93000 words this month. Don't feel like looking at the actual numbers just yet. BUT. The new story that I am working on? I really like it. I am going to buy a lot of books that I won't have time to read this Christmas. Eh heh heh. ;_;

This was my contribution to Thanksgiving feast. It also makes use of something that might otherwise go to waste; when I have extra ginger root, I grate and freeze it for later use.





Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cube frozen grated ginger root
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
2 cups heavy whipping cream


Directions:

Pour 1 cup whole milk into a large mixing bowl. Add 3/4 cup white sugar and whisk until dissolved.

Put a little of the milk mixture into a microwave-safe bowl and add 1 cube frozen grated ginger root. Microwave for 30 seconds or until the ginger melts. Stir. Pour into the large mixing bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon powdered ginger. Whisk until combined. Add 2 cups heavy whipping cream and whisk again.

Turn the ice cream machine ON. Pour the milk mixture into the ice cream machine and process for 30 minutes. Transfer to freezer-safe container and freeze overnight, so the flavors have time to marry.


Notes:

Fresh grated ginger root packs a respectable amount of heat and flavor. Usually when we grate ginger for a recipe there is some left over. I pack that into an ice cube tray and freeze it. This reduces the heat level substantially but leaves most of the flavor intact. So I use it for recipes where I want more flavor than heat.

This recipe was designed to accompany a pear-cranberry tart, and indeed, it was very well received. A la mode recipes should have a delicate flavor that will complement a dessert without overwhelming it. (This was also reqested to be a ginger ice cream that “mere mortals could enjoy” … knowing my taste for ginger.) For this one, I used frozen ginger root and a little powdered ginger, hence “Mild Ginger Ice Cream.” Had I been composing this as a solo dessert, I would have used rather more ginger root, fresh. I’m leaving that open as a future option.

I haven't posted any pictures from this course because we haven't been making any cakes yet. The course is pretty much all royal icing flowers. We learned violets, apple blossoms, primroses, victorian roses, daffodils, daisies, mums, pansies, and some little leaves. All of those sitting in flower formers isn't really that exciting to look at so I haven't even considered bothering with pictures at all.

Until now!
