More surfing :]

This time, Thomas took his little sister out. It figures that she was doing much better before I got there. By the time I did get there, they were pretty worn out, but kept surfing. It was a good thing they did, because I got some fun shots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Homemade Ice Cream!!

Being the ice cream junkie that I am, I have always wanted to make my own ice cream. That being said, I don't have an ice cream maker (yet). In the mean time, I was determined to find a way to make it work without having a machine. I knew it would be a lot of effort but just made the excuse that it would taste better if I worked extra hard for it...
That wasn't necessarily the case...

Should read "cantaloupe" oops!

Boiling the cream and sugar

Whisk egg yolks

Puree and strained cantaloupe juice

Tempered egg yolks and cream mixture

Added cantaloupe puree to mixture

Poured in shallow baking pan to freeze for 30min, transfer
to bowl and mix,  freeze, repeat until desired consistency is reached. 

The finished product. I stopped mixing it after about 6 hours to go 

to bed, but this obviously needed more mixing. However it TASTES great!!

Surfing Brah!

I decided to accompany Thomas and Brady surfing, but this time as an observer (and since the person I normally borrow from was not coming, I decided to avoid spending money on renting equipment). Unfortunately I had forgotten to recharge my camera battery from our camping trip, so these were the best of the shots I captured. I can assure you, viewer, that these two were just warming up and had some more epic wave riding (and wipeouts) after the death of said battery. Also I should mention that sometimes I do post lightly edited photos (mostly sharpened) and I have not touched any of these. Without further ado...
