Changes

UPDATE: Just clarifying that I have not made my likes page yet on facebook (which is why I have asked you all how to make it :D) and I will be posting up a link after I have done so 🙂

The world is constantly changing, we are constantly aging and of course, ever since Einstein invented time, nothing will ever be able to stop, stay at a standstill, or at the very least, go slow motion style like in Matrix 😉

Anyhow, before I go ranting (again) and get off topic as I have a tendency to, there have been some major changes around. And I think almost 99% of you all are aware of it. Foodbuzz, the biggest and most awesomest food blogger sharing community is switching to DailyBuzz. Say what?
Ok, yes it will be fine but how can we see all the bloggers in the world now? It is such a wonderful feeling when waking up to go check Foodbuzz and see all these different and delicious posts. Makes me breakfast hungry 😉

I have put my application in to be a publisher for DailyBuzz, I am sure all of you have, but I never saw August 1st coming. It was unexpected and a change that threw me a little off. What, who and why?
This made me think. I subscribe to a lot of blogs. I am not getting into the nitty gritty. But I may or may not have added perhaps 20-30 more today. Wow. Yeah, I love you all 😀 – it was necessary (why must everyone cook so well!)

Anyway though, that is not the only change going on. See, the other day, I had lunch with Mark Zuckerberg, you know, casually as you do 😛
We were talking, eating pizza when he asked me ‘Why do you still not have Facebook?’ – I could see, considering he created it and it was kind of world famous and all, why he was hurt.

So I finally decided to end my procrastination, and for the blog, spend two-three hours getting FB, acting on the pact 🙂

You all know what this means right???

I CAN LIKE YOUR BLOGS ON FACEBOOK 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

So send one, send all, I want everyone’s Facebook links to like and follow 😀
In return for everything that has been done post FoodBuzz announcement, I request one favour…

  1. How do you get a likes page on Facebook?
  2. How do I connect my blog to said likes page on FB?
  3. Will you guys like me to? 😛

Zuckerberg, the rat, has a meeting to go to so he was no help at all. Psshaw. 😉
But I know I can count on you all!

*****************************************************************************

Ok, cool, so now on to the recipe part 😀

banana ice cream11
See there is another reason I was talking about changes. My friend, PDS, is going through, actually has just gone through, a HUGE change. She moved houses… 2 minutes away from me 😀

*excited* *excited* *excited*

A house move calls for major bedroom decoration decisions, lack of telephone lines, getting used to the random cat on the street AND HOUSEWARMING!

banana ice cream17
Housewarming rules:

  • Bring a cake
  • Sit and talk
  • Drive home

CCU & PDS Housewarming rules:

  • Bring ice cream (because it actually won’t melt :D)
  • Scream/laugh as means of communication (you have all heard teenage girls talk right?)
  • Walk home (because it’s possible :D)

Disclaimer: PDS, I did have to taste your ice cream and pour on some fudge sauce and take photos but I promise you, I barely ate one spoonful… but it was really, really hard to stop 😉

banana ice cream10
So why did I choose the ice cream flavour I did?

  1. PDS absolutely loves bananas
  2. You all know Ben & Jerry’s no? Ice cream geniuses, gorgeous flavours and all that jazz 😉 – Well they have one flavour that I am really not a fan of. Chunky Monkey. I know, I know, banana ice cream with fudge chunks and walnuts, what is not to like?? But the banana taste is so artificial… eeyuck – so I made it my mission to recreate it with a big more BANG
  3. Hello, maybe you have forgotten but it is still National Ice Cream Month 😉 (sacrilege if you did!)

banana ice cream18
So voila, my own take on the famous roasted banana ice cream, mixed in with crushed walnuts and chocolate chips. Now this ice cream would attract a monkey (makes me see why we humans, their descendants, also crave it ;))

It is smooth and creamy but freezes like a rock (so be warmed, take it out 20-25 minutes before serving if not more, in winter). I left the ice cream banana base a little chunky because, well, yum 😉 but go ahead and puree it all up! The butterscotch roasted bananas are a dessert in themselves so as an ice cream, base work strong and deliciously. They compliment the chocolate chips and walnuts both texturally and taste-wise so win-win situation everywhere!

banana ice cream13Happy Housewarming PDS & The S Family! Enjoy all the bananas you all desire 😀

Butterscotch Chunky Monkey
Loosely based on: This Recipe

Makes: 1 L

Ingredients:

Butterscotch Bananas (if you do not want to make ice cream, eat these hot with vanilla ice cream – YUM)

  • 50g butter
  • 4 large, super ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbs – 1/4 cup thickened cream
  • 2 tbs golden syrup

banana ice cream9
Method

  1. Make the Butterscotch Bananas: In a large frypan, heat up on medium and add in butter until melted
  2. Mix through the brown sugar until combined and stir continuously till starts to bubble
  3. Add in golden syrup, turn down heat to medium low
  4. Add in bananas and cook for 1-2 minutes or until coated all over and caramelised
    banana ice cream6
  5. Stir in cream and bring mixture to boil
  6. Remove from heat and cool
  7. Make Ice Cream: Place banana mixture, milk, cream, sugar, essence, lemon juice and salt into a food processor and process for 3-4 minutes or until completely smooth mixture (I left mine a little chunky :D)
    banana ice cream7
  8. Pour mixture into ice cream machine and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions
    banana ice cream5
  9. Stir through the nuts and chocolate chips after finished churning
  10. Freeze in a container or enjoy soft serve style! 😀

Next Time:

  • I may not add the extra cream into the bananas since they were so deliciously caramelised and coated before and their syrup was already thick enough 🙂

*****************************************************************************With all these changes going on, I almost forgot, I have awards to hand out 😀 😀 😀

Firstly, I was lucky enough to receive The Lovely Blog Award from a sweet friend, Pooja over at Saffron N Appetite! If you have never visited, I promise you, her blog will blow you away – full of delicious meals and treats 🙂

    I’m always hungry after looking at your blog! ALWAYS! Facebook for blogs is pretty easy stuff. I’m sure you’ve found out how to make a page now and set it up cause there’s so many comments above me! To connect it, click the “social plug in” underneath someone else like box on the page and it takes you to the information to pop it anywhere you like. Hope this helps, if not, then give me a buzz anytime x

As far as Facebook is concerned… if you have a personal account you can create a page for yourself via your personal account. Just scroll all the way to the bottom and it says “create page”. You can pretty much just follow the directions from there. You are much smarter and computer savvy than i am my dear so you will do fine. 🙂

    I have a Facebook page, Pinterest board, and twitter account for my blog. I think giving people multiple following options has widened my range of readers, as not everyone uses WordPress or wants to receive an email every time a post is published. It doesn’t seem to require a lot of attention, so you should definitely give it a try.

I’ve got one and would love to add you.. but I continue to just post my blog posts on my regular Facebook as so many friends are too lazy to go to my Page and “Like”.. (or they don’t know how… we are older than you kids, you know;). I very rarely look at other posts on Facebook, which is why my followers haven’t really grown. I really love Pinterest, it’s simplicity and the lack of requirement to pin each other makes it much more relaxing. Twitter.. I have grown over the year.. but had to make “Lists” or I would lose the people I know.. like my local friends and my wordpress friends… xoxo Smidge

    My dear Guru Uru, Facebook and Twitter are things like for you guys. I opened an account with twitter but I am the worst in tweeting.I used to be on the Facebook and then deactivated it a year ago. I feel that Google+ is the best so I am sticking on to it.

    the ice cream Sunday with roasted bananas, nuts and chocolate chips looks drooling!

    First, thank for the award, you´re a sweet.
    Second, I will like you on fb, but after that have no clue how to be of any further service (I discovered twitter 2 weeks ago so imagine my social media aptitudes…)

    You make an account on facebook (for you) and then you create a “page” for the blog. Then you can switch back and forth doing things as yourself or as the blog. To “like” other pages, make sure you are using fb as ur blog page and go to a url of a page you want to like (mine is http://facebook.com/TheCookingActress) and there will be a like button…click it 😛

    And that sundae looks deeeeeeeelish!

    That ice cream sundae looks amazing, I can’t believe you made the ice cream yourself! Except you *are* CCU and you *are* awesome, so I can 🙂 I haven’t gotten a FB account for LLE yet and I don’t think it’s going to happen soon, because I feel like I’m busy enough with it between the blog, twitter, and pinterest – I don’t want my whole life to be taken over!
