We grilled in Blake's backyard--blue cheese burgers from his northern butcher shop genius. They were out of this world, especially when served with Jack Daniel's mustard, which Daria and I ate by itself long after the burgers were gone. At this same barbecue, I decided to put bananas on top of cinnamon graham crackers with a burnt marshmallow in the middle. Daria said it tasted like banana bread. I made about 10 of those.
These are the grapefruit sandwich cookies I made. They are grapefruit sugar cookies with a grapefruit buttercream filling. I hope to one day make a cake using this model--a basic citrus cake, like a lemon cake recipe, but with grapefruit. and i can use the same buttercream from the cookies, cept maybe with a little cream cheese thrown in.
I had a lot of buttercream leftover, so I made a batch of digestive biscuits and put it on those.
I made truffled red wine risotto and stirred in some golden raisins and sunflower seeds!!!
contrary to popular belief, risotto is super fun to make and not actually a huge pain in the ass.
Nessa and I had leftovers at the Feldman house one night, and the dessert was skim ricotta with vanilla bean and splenda and berries. a texture like you wouldn't believe.
