Valentine’s Day Sundae

February 13, 2012 by Abby 4 Comments

Ice Cream Sundae

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and I suspect this applies to a lot of girls too…it certainly does for me! Hubby and I both have a huge sweet tooth and for Valentine’s Day we decided to make up our own little sundaes.

You won’t find anything fancy on this blog for Valentine’s Day. No heart shaped macarons or 10 layer pink ombre cakes…just something easy and delicious! It is things for boys after all. We had everything for the sundae already in the fridge (is that bad?) and it was quick to put together and very satisfying.

You all know how to make a sundae, but just in case you’re a bit too tired to remember…Take an extra large scoop of your favourite ice cream and put it in a bowl. Add your favourite topping (we used Strawberry Sauce) and add all the little extra bits that make a sundae so awesome. We used:
– chopped nuts
– chocolate shavings
– a squirt of cream

These would also be good:
– sprinkles
– more topping
– mini marshmallows
– crushed up biscuits
– banana
– choc chips
– a spoonful of Nutella or peanut butter
– pop rocks

Don’t forget the cherry on top!

    Abby, where are you buying your maraschino cherries from? I can only find glace cherries without stems and they are just my fav thing in cocktails! Sally. xo

      Hey Sally – I get them at IGA or an Italian Deli. They come in a glass jar with a green label.

Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melb Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melbourne garden party was the Charlie Caftan by @closetcorepatterns. I shortened it at the shoulders by an inch and think I shortened it at the bottom too. I altered the pockets so they attach into the waist panel, because I hate when in-seam pockets flap about and pull at the side seams. The side slits are a double turn narrow hem as the overlock and turn as suggested in the pattern looked puckered. The fabric is a Cotton + Steel rayon by Masaru Suzuki, which is a dream to sew with. I've made another dress in the red colour way.
Beans from the garden and my favourite way to eat Beans from the garden and my favourite way to eat them... Stir fry in hot oil (coconut is delish but whatever you have is fine) until a bit burnt (about 5 mins). Chuck in a few squirts of fish sauce for the last 5 secs and toss through. 
Give them a minute to cool if you can lest you burn your mouth.

Instead of finishing the brim edge with bias, I did the usual RST stitch, fold and top stitch. That means the brim is a little shorter than the pattern. I wanted to keep the hat lightweight, so it's unlined and has only the two layers of canvas fabric for the brim. The cotton canvas is a vintage fabric from my stash, which originally cost 15 shillings and 9 pence (I think) per yard.
