This next week...
 

I am going to try to make lots of new things!!! I've been reading food blogs for the past couple weeks, and I love it. I'm finding so many good ideas! And I just love the photos... Everything looks so good!!! (I'm the girl with the huge collection of drink recipes books - I just love the photos of the pretty glasses and all the colourful drinks and garnishes!!!!!!)

In the next week, I wanna make the following things :

Brioche

Meyer lemon posset (if I can find a Meyer lemon)

Sweet beet ice cream

Poached egg with basil and Meyer lemon confit

Now that last one sounds simple but I want to try it because, believe it or not, I've never poached an egg. The lemon confit also sounds delicious...

Careful girl, or Mrs OF'll be on your doorstep offering to be your stunt taster.

We get meyer's lemons. My dad used to have a tree. I love brioche and poached eggs :D

Neige,

Just by looking at those pictures I gained back one of the two pounds I lost last week! :yikes:

Can I come over and be chief taste tester???

Good I see you have some people who are willing to help you eat all that. Neige I was starting to worry your next picture thread would have to be taken with a wide angle lens.

Beet ice cream? Well, at least the beets aren't pickled.

:rofl:

I'm hoping to share the brioche with the folks from my lab!

And gekkogecko, when I showed my mom the ice cream, she said, "You're not actually going to make that, are you???" :rofl:

Like this?

Not really sure how good beet ice cream sounds but everything else looks great! I just realized that I've never poached an egg either. :yikes:

neige the 'naked archaeologist' chef de cuisine. ;):D



have you ever considered studies in nutritional anthropology?

^^^ That'll work! :tongue:

I have actually!!!!! Even nutritional archaeology! But there's not much money (or maybe I should say, even less money) that goes to that type of research, so while it's definitely something I love to read about, I don't think it's something that would be practical of me to specialize in.

Well, my ice cream just went into the freezer, and the brioche dough is rising. I wonder if I used too much beet for the ice cream, because the colour is a much deeper pink/red than in the pic in the first post...

I think you used wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much beets :p
