Toasted marshmallow ice cream

This was Jack's idea, We served it with crumbled graham crackers and hersheys poked in.  Preheat sous vide to 185 Preheat toaster oven to 350 Beat together until smooth 2 eggs 2/3 cup sugar 1/4 tsp salt  add in  1 2/3 cup whole milk 1 1/2 cup whipping cream Once that is blended add in the marshmallows.   10 oz marshmallows  Put the marshmallows tightly packed on a tin lined with parchment. This works best in the toaster oven so you can see how brown they are.  As they cook they should congel and the tops should get toasted.  Be careful of them spilling out of the sides and catching on fire.

Apple pecan cake

I tweaked  this  apple pecan muffin recipe to make a cake and I liked it but I would like to have more pecans.  Like maybe 1 cup ground and another half cup plus rough chopped and toasted?.  Also it fell in dramatically in the middle.  Apple-Honey-Pecan Muffins I think I made a basic cake and just threw in the honey apples and the pecans Maybe I should adapt something like:  French Apple Cake This is an adaptation of the muffin recipe, but not what i did Grind in food processor to a fine meal    ⅔ cup (75 g) pecans then toast in a dry pan until aeromatic wipe out pan and add  2 Tbsp butter 2 pealed, cored chopped firm apples (Pink lady, etc) drizzle with  2 Tbsp Honey and cook until apples have softened and are glazed with honey  Whisk together the  pecans  from above along with  1 1/4 cup (100 g) all-purpose flour 1½ tsp. baking powder ¼ tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. kosher salt beat toget...
