Spiced Moroccan Lentil Soup

I decided it was time to try out a new soup recipe so I chose the Spiced Moroccan Soup from the Basic Cook Book. I mixed the spices and then chopped the onions and garlic and sauteed them for 5 minutes. I then added the tomatoes, lentils and stock and cooked the soup for 20 minutes.

The soup was deliciously spicy and had some chunkiness to it which I liked.
I will definitely be making this one again.

Strawberry Icecream

The Basic Cook Book has a Fruit Ice cream Recipe which I decided to make with frozen Strawberries.
first you grind the Granulated Sugar and then you add the frozen Strawberries and crush them.

Next you add the Cream and mix it all in a few seconds helped by the spatula.

The result was delicious and most of it was eaten by the family that evening.
