Sheep and Wool...and Banana Ice Cream

Good evening!

Right now I'm just relaxing taking some time to post!  Today we finished up re-doing our living room.  We painted the walls and the couch!  Yes, painting the couch was on purpose!  It was not an accident!  We bought some upholstery spray paint and painted the cream colored couch to a nice dark brown.  We did the walls light gray with white trim.  It looks really nice and is more modern looking.

We're also looking forward to going to the New Jersey Sheep and Wool this weekend!  Whoo hoo!  It's just the right size for a festival in a day.  We're also hoping to find some fleeces to blend with our angora.  We bought a used drum carder a few months ago and have been having fun playing with it.  We have a total of 13 rabbits right now; 4 English Angoras, 6 German Angoras, 2 Lionheads, and 1 New Zealand.  Two of the six Germans are our 2 babies!  They are too cute!  They are almost 2 months old now and as cute and fuzzy as anything.  I'll try to post some pictures soon!

 I'm going to go make some Banana Ice Cream!  It's so simple.  Pre-freeze some peeled bananas.  This is great when you have ones getting brown.  Slice up a few of the frozen bananas and put them in the food processor.  Blend until chopped up, (it won't be too smooth yet).  Add a dash of milk.  (You can use coconut milk, almond milk, heavy cream, etc.)  Also add any flavors you want.  (Just be careful if you use mint extract it's VERY strong and you only need a tiny bit).  I usually put in a generous tablespoon of cocoa in when I make it since I'm a chocolate maniac!  Blend again until smooth.  Makes a great dessert with no sweeteners!  The bananas are sweet enough to satisfy and to make sure it's not bitter from cocoa.  Enjoy! =)

Have a great night!

In Him,
Eloise
