Hideous Glass Mosaic Candle Holders

These are single handedly the most awful hideous things I've ever had a hand in making. That includes the doubly pink scarf that looked kind of like the Barbie aisle in the toy department puked all over it. I'm not entirely sure why I thought these would be a good idea. I tend to always think things of this nature are sort of ugly. I was kind of hoping the residual fondness for things you make yourself would overwhelm my usually negative feelings about these sort of things. That totally didn't happen. Of course, these aren't done. I still have to sand the grout. But to be totally honest, I'm mostly going to be hoping I sand the grout off completely, because they were much classier looking when they were just candle holders with bits of glass glued to them.

White Chocolate Malted Ice Cream

This is probably my least favorite flavor of all the ice cream I've made so far. There's something about the combination of the malted power and white chocolate that just makes it a bit cloying and hard to take. However, this ice cream went pretty well with a cherry pie my sister made, because the tartness of the cherries cut through a lot of the sweetness of this ice cream. I don't have too much to say about this, probably because:
a) I made this last week
b) I'm currently in the process of dying of the plague/ whooping cough
If you want to try your own hand in it, or have a cherry pie that this would go tastily with the recipe is here. This was a variation on the chocolate ice cream, which might be better.
