Icing..
Sometimes called frosting.. the icing is my favourite part of the cake, for sure. I like buttercream icing.. made with the guilty secret of margarine, icing sugar, vanilla essence and milk… it whips up lighter and paler than butter does… and it’s not quite as rich… and it still tastes great.. even with margarine.. go figure! I prefer pale pastel shades for my icing… esp lavender.
Igloo..
I prefer warm places.
Ice-cream…
I don’t much like it.. but I like to MAKE it. Everyone else in my house LOVES ice-cream.. I am the black sheep who prefers avocado on toast to any lollies.. or even a buttery vegemite toasted bagel… mmm
Icky..
My grandma’s pet name – we all called her Icky, following my older brothers lead.. although i always wished I could call her Nanna like my cousins did.. I tried.. but it didn’t feel as nice.
Ink…
I like the colour ‘ink’.. it seems to be a blackish-blueish-violetty-blot of a colour.. deep and dark and cool and sure.
Ilk….
It means ‘same’.. and i thought it was the same thing.. as an Elk. But it’s not.
xxx mikes
i love the word ilk, too, and almost used it myself. loving your posts!
your grandma must be a cool person!
