There are eggs in the fridge to use up, and they may very well be destined for Guinness-milk chocolate ice cream from "The Perfect Scoop". The coffee and stout ice cream from "Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home" was excellent and I bet the two are somewhat similar. Booze is a great addition to home-made ice cream and sorbet - it helps you avoid ending up with a rock-solid frozen treat.
When I can knit again (soon-ish? maybe?) I'll be making the Jaali shawl by Kitman Figueroa. After being on the fence about shawls for some time (a lot of them are lace, which I like, but would they really get incorporated into my wardrobe? would I want to incorporate them into my wardrobe?), I saw the pattern for Damask and immediately bought it. It's one of my all-time favourite knits - both the process and the finished product.
But mostly, it's now time to get off the couch and out of the house a bit more. Even though I had to cancel my trip this past weekend, my mind keeps thinking travel-y thoughts...
