I feel alive again! The sun is warming up Manhattan and I can finally walk around and enjoy this place! I took two amazing walks this week! This was yesterday! This walk was a thrilling adventure! I saw so much of Manhattan on a picture perfect day with the whole world in full bloom! It makes up for all those…
Apple Pancake
I haven’t made this for a while! It turned out great in my new ScanPan! I don’t have an exact recipe for the apples. I peeled and cut up 2 medium apples and sauteed them with butter (maybe 3 or 4 TBS) and generous sprinkle of cinnamon and a chunk of brown sugar (1/4 to 1/3 cup). As this was…
Fish Head Omelette!
Omelettes can be almost anything. Well, one morning after having dinner at a very authentic Chinese restaurant we had some leftovers and Roger proceeded to make an omelette. Truthfully, I was kind of grossed out but the seasonings in the fish were great! The fish head is just something I am not that used to! He picked through everything and…
Torte Milanese – a 15 year procrastination!
I got this great Julia Child Baking cookbook from a friend and saw this recipe and dreamed about making it. Not until 15 years later did I decide to try it, inspired by Henry’s “just go for it in the kitchen” attitude. Here are the pictures from my creation. It looked very much like the pictures and tasted great. Not…
Egg Rolls
I used to make these years ago. I thought it would be fun to try again and show Henry. The recipe is not that exact. Ground pork, ginger, vegetables and Asian seasonings. The dipping sauce was soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, lime juice and red pepper flakes. The lime juice makes it fresh!
Henry’s Cinnamon Orange Rolls
Sending Henry to some cooking classes has yeilded quite a few fun things recently. I am going to have to ask Henry the details of this recipe as I can’t remember exactly how he made these but they were amazing! Henry made his own yeasted dough to which he added some orange zest. He made the filling with brown…
Henry’s Scrambled Egg Pizza!
I don’t even know how to start to describe this! During spring break a friend of mine was in town and invited me to see Wicked with her extra ticket. I had made a lasagna for the family to eat while I was gone and left a clean kitchen and a nice lasagna on the stove…
Devilled Easter Eggs
It sounds like an oxymoron to devil your Easter eggs! Henry and I made these over spring break. Here are our remaining hard boiled easter eggs. Here they are without the shell! I loved the patterns they made. All hollowed out. All the yolks. We mixed in mayonaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Henry made his own piping bag with a…
Henry’s Chocolate Souffle’s
Henry went to a spring break camp at Sur La Table and learned how to make these chocolate souffle’s. They were delicious! These are pictures when Henry taught Roger how to make them. The ramekin coated in butter then sugar. Beat egg yolks and sugar Beat egg whites separately Melt chocolate chips. Henry was taught to do this over a…
Shepherd’s Pie
This wasn’t the traditional Shepherds Pie. Henry and I were looking at what we had in the kitchen and this is what we came up with. Henry started the project and then abandoned it halfway and I picked up and took over and then Henry added his finishing touch. It was an interesting group effort that turned out better than…
