I can’t say that a whole lot has happened.  I’m back to being a recluse, trying to find things to keep me busy.  Going between wasting time on the internet, cooking and making things out of clay.  Speaking of clay, I’m considering buying “plain” clay and painting it instead of using different colors.  The thing is, I’m not that good at painting.  But I keep getting the clay where it shouldn’t be and the piece looks funny.  I guess it’s something to keep in mind.

So on to cooking, made 2 kinds of ice cream and have 7 egg whites in the fridge waiting to be made into macarons.  The first ice cream turned out really well!  Tried salt again and found a recipe that, when cutting down the salt, tastes almost exactly how it did in Japan.  Second one was eh…  It’s pear-pecorino flavored and used half-and-half instead of heavy cream and one less egg than the salt recipe.  But the thing that messes it up for me it the cheese, I think it really should have been grated instead of chopped up.  Possibly add less of it too, the pear is really over powered.  Fortunately (I guess), I had double of the pear puree so the extra would work well as a topping.

I need to find another hobby…
