Strudel

When Rob interviewed Pastry Chef Ann Amernick and asked what one food would she gorge herself on, she responded, "Maryland Strudel." So tonight he made it:

Pizza boys

Homemade pizza dough, Candoni pesto, and whatever we could find in the house...and still the best pizza in town!

A bit of Africa

Every now and then Tyler prepares a meal of nshima to remind him of his days in Africa. The meal is polent (used to pick up the other items similar to enjima in Ethiopian food), greens with nuts, and chicken.

Another fun class

This past Saturday we held a youth holiday confections class. The kids prepared pumpkin pie marshmallow, French nougat and Seafoam dipped in dark chocolate. Here's what one participant thought of the afternoon:

Tagine Tagent

Tonight we made a chicken tagine with saffron, cracked green olives, israeli cous cous and preserved lemons. A perfect kick-off to fall!

More recent meals

First is a fresh pesto with our "joint" pasta. Its such a good pasta for pesto. This was also the first time we had tomatoes from our garden that we could eat. Next is a salmon that was plank cooked on the grill, served with an avocado salsa. Very good.
