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.
