DianeS said...

Mmmmmm, I have some of those collards in my fridge. They've been calling my name all day. Soon...

I just today put two and two together and realized that this is your blog!

Ceviche for breakfast and leftover bread and butter all day. Collards for dinner.

Thanks for coming.

What, you BOUGHT the bread?!:-)

You're killing me here. Two questions: where did you locate cheval (don't want any, thanks, just curious), and did you find Snowville cream in anything smaller than a 1/2 gallon size?

I'm loving the Snowville Creamery products also! A beautiful looking mess, uh, meal.

Only two Heidi? (1) Brought from Toronto by a friend (another time I had brought some back from Montreal . . . declared it and all--and don't be bashful, I have some left in the freezer), (2) no, but I've never seen it in stores at all (the 1/2 gallon of cream was gifted). To make good use of/preserve the cream I used it to make the butter, creme fraiche, and in the ice cream. Still had some left though. Re the bread, baking is out of my skill set, although I make a decent loaf of no-knead.

Nancy, thanks. And I agree, it's good dairy.

For the record: I swear that I offered to help clean-up efforts and was denied!!

The presentations looked nice. I especially liked how you incorporated the "Clevelad snow."

I think the olive oil ice cream is an awful ice cream flavor. Making a flavor like that is going way over the top, in my opinion. It may have tasted good, but certainly not appealing me.

I thought the menu was great. The ice cream was the only negative for me.

And as for not making the bread, who cares. Based on your background, one would not and should not expect you to do all that. You have a full time job, a side job, and a small kitchen.

You should be very proud of yourself!

I think she was kidding about the bread Al. Re ice cream--next time I'll make your maple nut.
