    Ohh let us know how the meal goes PP! Very exciting! SUre it will be lovely & burchetta sound yummy! Dead jealous! Did you really make the ice cream or are you fibbing!!

    I really made it! He didn't believe me either :rotfl: But then I told him exactly how to make it and he was suitably impressed ;) Dinner was an absolute success, he was mucho impressed :) Tbh I still can't believe how well this is all going.... To make this post slightly relevant to the challenge, we didn't go out in the end after dinner but watched a dvd on the sofa ;);)

    Off to work now with a huuuuuuuuuuge smile on my face! God, I'm getting all slushy. There's a rumour there was a candle on the table lit for dessert :o:o

    Have a good weekend all, I'll be checking in on monday, got a hectic weekend - but unfortunately not with him...

Great that the date went well PP & well done on the ice cream! Where was the recipe from? Sounds yummy! Going back to making fod is going to be really odd! (in about 2 months!). Hope you are all havng better weather - its chucking it down here!
