So Many Egg Cups To Add To Your Collection

As a child I can remember my Nanny soft boiling an egg and serving it to me in an egg cup shaped like a little boy and placing a toque on top to keep it warm. I loved dipping toast fingers into that creamy yolk.

I now collect egg cups. Family and friends have been very generous and brought me egg cups from all over the world. I now have about 50 of them.

YumSugar recently posted a slideshow with some adorable egg cups. I'll take them all!

I scream, you scream. We all scream for Ice Cream!

I have been wanting an ice cream maker for ages because yucky, cheap ice cream is just that - yucky and cheap. I am happy to say I received an ice cream maker as a gift recently. I have big plans for that machine and have already used it to make Banana Ice Cream which I snuck between 2 big chocolate chip cookes to make a sandwich. I am mildly obsessed with ice cream sandwiches right now so I was overjoyed to find this article, as well as a recipe for Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream. Can't wait to try them all out.
