The only thing this month that I didn’t like was the lemon meringue ice-cream, because it was insanely sour. But my friend Frances said I’d talked it down too much, because she really liked it. So give it a go and tell me what you think.
My progress
I’m so close to the end of the project! My list of recipes is almost completely crossed off. I can’t believe it. In fact, I have no idea how I’m going to go back to normal cooking and menu planning, but I guess I’ll just take it as it comes.
Now, a piece of (possibly) exciting news. A couple of weeks ago, I received a mystery brown envelope in the mail, postmark UK, with no return address, and the instructions “Do not open until May 31!” on the back. Naturally I think it has something to do with my project… or maybe someone just got my birthday really wrong. Hmmm…
We're having roast pork for lunch today... YAY!
