Mindy was visiting her family in Minnesota a few weekends ago and she brought me back this fresh butter (and some lard which we will have to put to use soon.) It is from Bongard’s Creamery and is delicious. I love fresh butter, plain old store-bought (especially in the city) just doesn’t compare. Thanks Mindy!

Yearly Archives: 2005I really wanted to bake something this morning, but it is so nice out that I couldn’t bring myself to devote a lot of time to it. I hadn’t made scones in a long time and they seemed to be the perfect midmorning baking event for me. I ended up throwing together some delicous scones. […] show 14 comments These look terrific! I’ve made scones before but haven’t ever experimented with a flavor combination such as sage, pine nut and pecorino. Usually I opt for something of a sweeter nature. Great idea and I’ll be trying these sometime. So pretty Gemma – recipe’s bookmarked. And I know that feeling – in fact, I blame that feeling for a lot of my net-browsing time, heh! Linda, I too usually tend towards the sweater variety, but the few occasions where I have made savory scones I am always pleased. What a versatile little baked good! I followed the link to your site, I’m new at this so it is nice to see more Chicago food blogs! I just tried this, except with rosemary and ginger. Rosemary and ginger sounds like a great combination Paul. Thanks for trying them! Oh Gemma I LOVED these! Used mozarella and parmesan instead of the pecorino, ’cause that’s what I had handy – they were so delish, and even kept for 3 days and were still yummy! I always find scones to go dry so fast, but these didn’t. Will definetly be a recipe I come back too, again and again! I’m glad they worked well for you Zarah! Sorry about the sugar, I’m weird! These look so fantastic. My husband adores scones, so this one will go in the box for next time he gets a scone’s craving. Nice to hear they were still moist after 3 days! That’s a handy feature in a scone. hiya! i am just cruising through all the entries for DMBLGiT, you know, to scope out the competition and all *wink* Let me know how they work out for you Lyn. I was quite pleased with them. Pine Tables Cocktail table and sofa have metal corner protector screwed we I just tried these with yogurt (inst. milk), spelt (inst. flour), and agave (inst. sugar), and they came out great! You are very welcome Gabriel! I’m glad they worked out for you. I love this recipe and I definitely recommend playing around with the amounts of cheese, herbs, etc. to suit your taste. comlimenti buono con lo yogurt For dinner last night I grabbed a bag of the homemade linguine from the freezer which we had made the night before. After boiling and draining, I combined with a spoonful of Ben’s homemade pesto and sprinkled some grated pecorino cheese on top. It was delicious and I was very pleased to know we had […] show 2 comments Hi Gemma – I love pesto and this MUST be delicious! I have a Sardinian friend and he brings local pecorino cheese sometimes, they are gorgeous! Fresh and local pecorino sounds divine. I am jealous. Last night Molly, Aviva, John and I invited over our friends Ben, James, and Ken (Ken just started culinary school at CHIC, I’m jealous) to make ravioli. This was my first time ever making homemade pasta and it was great. We borrowed a pasta machine from John’s mother and we based much of the recipes […] show 2 comments Dude, you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!! You do too, dinner was delicious! Let me know how you enjoy the linguine. I had some last night and thought it was superb. . . .my favorite kitchen accessory. One day a few years ago my mother brought home this flat whisk. Up until that point I thought all whisks were of the balloon variety. After sitting in a drawer for a few years I finally picked it up to use while making bread. I was amazed. This […] show 4 comments Gemma, I have to say you are a bit of a cooking dork, but it is really cute! Well, you know me, I have to be geeking out about something all the time. This one might take the cake for dorkiness though. (Pun not entirely intended). Gemma, I just got one of these for my birthday, and YOU ARE RIGHT. It’s the best thing I own. I used it to make lemon curd last night, and I think I’m in love. Excellent! I am glad someone understands. It is such a perfect instrument. |
