Monthly Archives: September 2005As you read this post I should be arriving in London to begin our journey. Today, Saturday, my mother made a delicious breakfast of french toast using apple bread that is sold at a coffee shop in Woodstock. She also added some bananas to the egg mixture and topped the stacks with fresh strawberries and […] show 4 comments What a luscious-looking sendoff! All the best to you both for your travels. Good luck on your journey – looks like quite the french toast. I can almost taste it from here! Hi Gemma, what a great send off breakfast, nothing beats french toast. I’m looking forward to reading about your travels! Thanks tara, Joe, and michele. Things are going great so far, though I could go for some more of that french toast right about now. Our garden has recently produced some beautiful tomatoes. Just before we packed up our kitchen I made John and I some bruschetta using a recipe from a cookbook that my brother edited at Grinnell College. The book, Fantasia of Flavors, was named after the food house my brother lived in last year at school. I […] show 5 comments Oh I love the use of almonds in bruschetta- I would have never thought of that, but the crunch must be great. Thanks for sharing this recipe! I have to ask–when did your brother graduate from Grinnell? My fiancée, Laura, graduated in 2003. hi, what gorgeous looking bruschetta…the combination sounds awesome, thanks for sharing the recipe… your additions to the recipe sound great! i bet it tasted very good with such fresh ingredients. i really appreciate the farmers market in grinnell, it is such a great source for produce fresh off small local farms. Tanvi, I really liked the addition of almonds to the bruschetta, especially warmed right out of the oven. We are growing several varieties of hot peppers in our garden and they have just started to ripen this past week. John decided we should try to make hot sauce and he did a bit of research on the subject. The method is basically to steep the peppers and a few other ingredients in a […] show 7 comments wow, your very own hot sauce from your very own peppers…wonderful post, as always… well done! There is nothing better than homemade hot sauce, even better with your own peppers! During my last trip I had a drink made with beer, homemade hot sauce, lime juice and lots of black pepper. Holy smokes! That is exactly what came out of my ears :) I asked the bartender for the recipe and she said they do not measure anything, it is up to them! Hi Gemma, how satisfying to make hot sauce from your own home grown peppers. I like the recipe, it seems fairly straightforward, I might actually have to give it a try! With store-bought peppers of course. The finished product looks great! I would of never thought to make our own hot sauce when we grew peppers! Great idea! Caribbean Hot Sauce mine* Thanks J! |
