I got the recipe from a UK site, which called for a handful of "rocket". Had to do a little digging to find out that's arugula...which unfortunately I'm out of. Think I'll make a grocery run for some, which will give me an excuse to get some fresh mozzarella balls. (Just have the pre-shredded stuff right now.)

Yeah, I reckoned it was a UK thing, since you can't get double cream in the US. I'm sure it would be just as good with heavy cream, though. Or I might try it using creme fraiche, which is easy to find these days. Either way, it sounds mouthwatering. I'll try it this weekend with my fresh hydroponically grown arugula, and think of you with every bite.

It's good to be seen.
For the record, garlic pretzels are recommended treatment for sinus headaches. It's been that kind of day.

Yum!Haagen-Dazs' Bailey's Ice Cream ........... oohh sooo creamy
My little guy hits me up for Auntie Anne's whenever we go by. He was home with a bad headache this week so I guess I should tell him it's the prescribed cure.
Hope you're feeling better!

I hope the treatment is swift and efficacious, my friend.
You know I would share, in a heartbeat.
Soon, I get to cook for and with you again. This brings me untold joy.

So I'm sitting here eating gelatinous nuggets of pure, salty, cured pork fat....not the ham, the fat, from the ham hock that is in my beans. Eating it like a champ. I must have been a soul food chef in a past life.

I like Stout Cake. Particularly when hooked up in the Black Forest variety.
I wish cherries weren't so expensive this year.

Someone mentioned hummus, this sounds incredible ...
http://www.nydailynews.com/img/2008/07/11/gal_challenge8.jpg
Hummus with Beef and Mushrooms
For the hummus:
3 cups cooked chickpeas
1-1/2 cups tahini paste
Salt and lemon juice to taste
For the beef and mushrooms
1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
Olive oil or oil
1/4 pound mushrooms
Pita bread or French bread, warmed
For the hummus: Mix the peas and tahini together in a food processor until smooth. Add salt and lemon juice to taste, then water as needed to get the right consistency. Taste for seasonings. Mix the beef with the spices and 1 tablespoon oil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Sauté till done in a nonstick pan. Meanwhile, lightly sauté the mushrooms in a little oil and toss with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Spoon the hummus into bowls and use a spoon to make some space in the middle for the beef. Add the beef, then the mushrooms and serve with bread. If you're feeling fancy, shake a bit of cumin or paprika over the dish or top it with a bit of yogurt, tahini salad dressing or my preference labneh, chopped parsley or toasted pine nuts.

Thank you for posting that! I usually keep hummus and pitas on hand and that's a great way to make it into a meal.

Best piece of chocolate cake I ever had was a stout cake.
It does sound delicious! I bet it would be good with lamb, too. Lamb and cumin make me a very happy man.

My latest attempt at creativity.

Thank you, it was my first experience with fondant so I didn't try to do too much. But it was fun and I can't wait to see my nephew's face when I drop them off.
I'm practicing a lot now so I can build up to something cool for a baby shower and birthdays coming up.
My office loves it, they are the usual beneficiaries of my goodies.
Thank you, your lovely lady has been a great inspiration for me.
Post the recipe for the book!
