Ice-cream Recipe

We had fun making and tasting ice cream today. This recipe makes quite a lot. We used an ice cream maker but I think it would work with a beater quite well.

Basic Icecream

Ingredients:
3 egg yolks
1 1/3 cups of Full Milk -Blue top
1 cup cream
100 grams of castor sugar
Vanilla

Beat the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add milk stirring constantly. Whip the cream until it's almost stiff. Combine the whipped cream with the other ingredients. make sure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Put in a container in the freezer.
I would possibly take it out of freezer after an hour and beat it for a few minutes, and then put it back in again.

Enjoy

Adam Page with Ethan's name in hand!


Adam Page

Adam performed at school today as part of the Festival of Colour. He is a multi-instrumentalist. He showed the children how he used the looping pedal to record layers of sound.



He showed us how to make our mouths sound like drums.






You have to get your breathing right to beat box. You need lots of air.
Try boots and cats at home!



This is the tenor saxophone he played for us.


This is the melodica. He had to blow air through it to make it go. It's a cross between a piano and a harmonica. He played the flute for us.
The layers of music are now starting to sound amazing as I type this.

Soprano, alto, tenor and baritone sounds make up his band. One of the pedal is an octave pedal so he can use his electric guitar as a bass.






He can even make music with his beard.



Music is everywhere. He made music with Ethan's name-awesome!
