Snickerdoodle Lemon Ice Cream Sandwiches - Asheville Part III
2009-07-09 07:56:00
More on the CSA Cook-Off I mentioned in my last post: Diane and Todd of White On Rice Couple posted a wonderfully illustrated account of the experience. I just laughed my little derriere off all over again reading it!I am going to be put to the task of interactive baking and cooking again starting tomorrow. A good friend and fellow food blogger is flying me to Richmond where I will be teaching her the ins and outs of a few pastry items and techniques. So forgive me if there are even less replies to your emails and comments until the end of the weekend. I hear we'll even have time to take some margarita breaks, now that's the cherry on the cake, wouldn't you say?I started this post on Monday night. It is now Thursday and I am finally done selecting my favorite pics to illustrate Part 3 of our adventures in Asheville. That was a tough job. Seriously. More tasty locally grown foods, more talented people and artisans. Colors and stories to awaken all your senses.On the other hand, an...

Asheville Trip To Foodtopia - Part II
2009-07-04 06:08:00
Day two of our trip in Asheville had us move around a bit less but was just as intense, keeping us on our toes until bedtime. Or was it until we all rolled, stumbled, fell, crashed on our beds?! Ha! Yes, we can blame it on all the tasty wines, succulent dishes, intense Iron Chef competition, culminating with an outstanding dinner at Horizons in The Grove Park Inn.The 4 Diamond restaurant gathered us around one of the best meals I have had in my life, ending in the most perfect sweet note: a chocolate and caramel tasting executed by Pastry Chef Laura Bogard. Before I could even ask our hosts if Laura would be kind enough to share a couple of the recipes, I was graciously handed a print out of all the components of our plate. Once back home in SC, I decided to put my own spin on it and make this Chocolate Torte topped with Caramel Ice Cream and Chocolate Sorbet, inspired by that evening. But let's talk about the day first...We started with a visit to Sunburst Trout Farm outside of As...

Asheville Trip To Foodtopia Part 1
2009-07-01 07:57:00
Update: check Todd and Diane's Part 1 here. Amazing!One of the first things I did when I got back from Asheville, NC was to email Jael and Dan Rattigan from The Chocolate Lounge and beg ask them to share a recipe, any recipe, from their outstanding repertoire. So happy they sent the one for their Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake (see end of post). Most delicious thing I have had in terms of cheesecakes. Really.We were in NC to discover the Foodtopian Society of Asheville and we all fell in love with the pair, the minute we walked into their shop. Proof? We told Dodie (Super Mistress of Organization - Tourism Office PR Manager) that we had to take Brian, Todd and Diane there as soon as they'd arrive. Great chocolates, cakes, great photo opps, etc...Yeah, truth is we wanted more. More chocolate, more cookies and more of Jael and Dan. A couple of us even went back a third time and will have a post up soon.Even though I have spent the last week being wined and dined by the wond...

February in Asheville
2008-02-28 21:50:00
February in Asheville has had interesting weather. We have had Spring like 70 degree weather, and frigid, definitely winter weather around 20 degrees. We have even had some rain and a little snow. The good thing about Asheville is that it never stays the same for a long time. If it is bitter cold, never mind, it will soon be warm. January was pretty slow for our real estate market and February doesn't look any better. but it still isn't nearly as bad as Florida or California or some of those other places. We have lots of homes on the market but not quite as many buyers as we would like. I guess they are stuck in those other places trying to sell their homes. This last week of February seems to have picked up some. I am looking forward to a good Spring and a great Summer. Now is a great time to buy. Although listing prices havn't dropped, sellers are negotiating more. It is usually about 95-96% of listing price. In January it showed 93...

Top 10 Favorite Asheville Memories
2006-07-28 22:30:00
In half a week I will be leaving for New York City! Here, in random order, are my Top 10 Favorite Memories from high school and the life I will be leaving behind:Slip & SlideOne of my favorite memories will always be when Matt was chasing me around the high school gym. I can't remember why. But as I ran across the basketball court, I slipped and fell sliding sideways on my hip. Matt began to laugh as he slowed to a jog behind me, and as he crossed the area where I had fallen, he slid and fell. I happen to be looking up at him when he had begun to laugh and point at me on the floor, and I saw the momentary look of terror as he lost his footing and slid right next to me. And there we both lay on our backs, where we had fallen, laughing hysterically.Teen Rescued from ReservoirI still have the Asheville Citizen-Times article in a scrapbook:Emergency crews rescued a 17-year-old Alexander boy who got stuck after rappelling into an abandoned reservoir Wednesday."He just rappelled in, and ...
