| Continuously hijacked to drop $2 on these rides |
YAY YAY YAY the shops are open again! One day of sitting around like a sloth eating so much food ... and not to mention napping like a boss as well. We went to the local shops to get strawberries for the ice cream maker. The Aldi special buy $25 ice cream maker caught my eye. I actually hauled this darn thing all the way from the CBD store back home. The point of buying this was because I already given Mick his totally romantic Christmas present - a hot shot BBQ set in an aluminium case. By the time I dragged the darn machine back on a train and everything I just threw all my bags at him (lovingly) at the house. Of course he noticed the brand - Lumina and I was flipping the Aldi catalogue with said machine in it with him later that night. He guessed what it was ... DUH. Well least I saved on wrapping paper. Do you remember those rides that D and L are on? My brother and I used to stare at those rides and sat in it .. stationary. And we used to be sad that we never got any coins for it. Yes yes.. I'm kind of compensating that by 'wasting' my $2 coins everytime we come here.

| Leftovers in action |
Another problem with post Christmas come down is the leftovers. Oh man was there leftovers. I have ham phobia now. I cooked Hokkien eggie noodles like my previous post ... except I used ham instead of pork. What I did was go to Aldi to do a Hokkien noodle run. It was DISGUSTING. This thing was the worse packet of noodles I have ever encountered. The texture of the noodles was wrongtown. It crumbled and was not in strands if you know what I mean. Currently Aldi I am not in love with you. You better redeem yourself with really good ice cream man! I had to substitute for dry thin egg noodles which was really blah. Boys were not interested and D said later he did not want the noodles. FAIL.

| Aldi Ice Cream maker a-churning |
This is the ice cream maker churning.. keep on churning Mr Lumina Ice Cream maker. It is a small bowl that you have to freeze for 8 hours or more. That is fine with us... the bowl size is also ok as we usually just have small quantities of ice cream. Yeah I am one of those freaks that eats one square from a family size chocolate bar and would leave it alone afterwards. The boys helped with the ice cream making. Pickles added sugar in and D poured in the ingredients. Churn ... churn churn... then freeze. So really it's just 20-30mins of churning. This thing served the purpose and honestly I think the price tag just enabled me to buy it. If it was a Cuisinart which I think looks amazing btw, I would not have bought it. I would have thought yeah that's nice and I probably wouldn't use it.

| Amazeballs Strawberry Ice Cream |
After one taste, I was converted. It was amazing.... The missing bits were from D and Pickles who ate a scoop each before we did. This was using one punnet of strawberries. As you can see it made a small amount. But it tasted so good! I am going to make some more tomorrow.. Woohoo.

I finally opened my Vogue KK gift that I received from the lovely L. :) Yay yay yay... Hurro Kitty Sigg bottle!!!!!!! My very own SIGG!!
