Earthy

We had a little family dinner tonight at the folks with Jim and Fam, Laura and fam, Dave and fam, Amy and fam, the folks and myself.  It was a Hawaiian meal which is always a favorite.  I was assigned rice and think I pretty well nailed it.  Anyway, it was a good time. 

Part of the evening festivities included an ice cream making contest.  There were four entries.  Laura made two of them that included a mint chocolate chip/oreo cookie thing and also a vanilla entry.  Jim entered a chunky monkey banana ice cream thing.  I entered a pistachio ice cream.  I have never made a pistachio ice cream so I found and followed a recipe I found on line. It turned out okay in a very earthy kind of way.  It was think, it was chunky and it wasn't super sweet.  I guess it has potential but it would definitely need some adjusting before I try that again. 

Anyhow, we had some fun tonight.  It was good to be hanging out with family.
