Strawberry Ice Blended ????
2011-11-19 15:51:00 Christmas is around the corner and one of my best friends suggested if having a Christmas 'Party' at my place this year. (We used to have random makan sessions at my (old) place.) It wouldn't be a party, just a get-together with a few of my very good friends. Incidentally, they were also my bridesmaids too, all three of them. ;) It's going to be my 13th Wedding Anniversary soon. Hence, you might have guessed that our friendship must be longer than that. The longest being 26 years? I don't know them all at the same time but during some time of my life. However, it's great that they somehow became friends themselves too. :)Oh! There's a torn among the roses (other than my husband) too. He is my husband's ex-co-worker, who also become all the gals' friend somewhere in time. He was also one of my husband's best-man too. In case, he reads this and I didn't mention him, he will think he is not invited to the get-together. Actually, I bet he is secretly hoping that I will forge...

Yuri Manga: Girls Love - strawberry milkshake
2011-10-22 04:52:00 In the beginning there was Yuri Hime and from Yuri Hime came Yuri Hime Wildrose, a series of "ecchi" (by which we mean "porn") Yuri manga by artists that contributed to Yuri Hime or their cell-phone manga. Yuri Hime Wildrose was rendered into two "best of" collection called Remix disk A and disk B. (My review of the remix issues has links to all the original Wildrose volumes,as well.) Now the series has been rebranded, again, as Girls Love. (Volume 1 review from March) For readers, there isn't a really significant difference between the Wildrose volumes and Girls Love - creators and content remain roughly the same. In this volume, Girls Love -strawberry milkshake- , we're getting some of the best of the creators, including Nanzaki Iku's ShizNat clones, (here called Youko and Hitomi), Amano Syuninta, Mikuni Hachime and others, each with a relatively "Plot, What Plot" one-shot that starts with attraction, moves to sex and ends with love. It is this last that sets these...

Don't Be Afraid of Rhubarb: Simple Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
2011-06-03 00:28:00 I never knew much about rhubarb growing up. To be honest, I would usually steer clear of anything with rhubarb in it at family gatherings. Fast forward to adulthood when I had the opportunity to taste some of the delicious pies made by my husband's late grandmother. Strawberry rhubarb was one of her specialties and was it delicious. Sweet. A little tart. A flaky, buttery crust. Could I re-create this magic using gluten and dairy free ingredients? I was determined to try. But first, what really is rhubarb and is it true that its leaves are poisonous? ...

Gluten Free Strawberry Jelly Roll Cake - Share Our Strength Contribution
2010-12-14 15:58:00 As a child, I can't say that I ever knew hunger. I got hungry for sure. But I never knew the deep feeling of being hungry and knowing I would not be able to satisfy my growling stomach. My parents did not always have it easy and I can see there were times when budgets and expenses were calculated to the penny but one thing my brothers and myself never questioned to have or not was food. If times were a bit strained, we, as children, never knew it. I just noticed we ate more eggs throughout the week and lots more soups. I never put two and two together because I never had to. There was always food in my plate. Some children don't have this chance. Some children go hungry on a daily basis. My parents knew that. They made sure we did too and very early on in our lives made sure we knew the purpose of charity. We did it silently. Charity is an act that comes from inside of you. It does not need to be advertised or require praises. Just do. We know what it's like to hit hard times and...

Mind-Blowing, No-Skill Strawberry Pie
2010-04-29 16:03:00 www.williewilsonphotography.com-Who doesn't love strawberries? And has anyone noticed that they are abundantly available in the produce aisle? Not only are they in-season and inexpensive, they pack a healthy punch like no other berry. They are rich in antioxidants and nutrient-dense. Results from the very large, highly-regarded, Women's Health Study showed that strawberry intake was associated with a "heart-healthy lifestyle" and lower C-reactive protein levels (a marker for heart disease risk). Strawberries also offer specific cardio-protective nutrients like vitamin C, folate, fiber and potassium, as well the flavonoids ellagic acid, quercetin and kaempferol. I don't have to tell you that they also have a sweet, fresh taste to go along with their nutritious profile. I spend very little time baking, but...

Peach Mousse & Strawberry Verrines
2009-08-24 07:05:00 We've been drowning under peaches over here. Fresh, juicy local peaches. They were good starting in June but they are just tremendous right now. They got plenty more rain and sunshine to get even better. If that was even possible. Bu they did. The stalls at the farmers' market bear the same jovial velvet dresses of oranges, yellows and terra cotta. Makes me long for the fresh markets of Provence where I grew up. So colorful, so hot, so happy. Thursday seemed to start with a peach sessions: roasting, jamming, cutting and peeling a bunch to freeze and enjoy during Fall. Lunch was the perfect time to make plans about their use. When dinner came, we enjoyed sweet concoctions like these Peach Mousse & Strawberry Verrines.Friday started the same way but ended up with a batch of peach jam, peach pate de fruit and matcha macarons for wedding favors. By Saturday morning, first thing I twittered was "peach pate de fruit and matcha macarons I love you". I am telling you...summer makes my...

The Strawberry-Blackcurrant-Rhubarb Jam
2009-07-06 01:51:00 There are few things in life as wonderful as a red, fresh strawberry! Still warm from the sun. Up here in the north of Sweden, the sun never sets in summer so the strawberries get a lot of sun and daylight which is good for them. I stopped growing strawberries many years ago because the birds ate them. They took a bite out of one berry and left it, then they took a bite out of another and left it ... What a waste! Finally, I got fed up with that and put a net over my plants. What happened? Well, every day, small birds got trapped. Trapped birds were easy targets for our neighbors' cats. I willingly shared my currants with the birds. I'm not greedy. But who wants currants when there are strawberries to be had. Not the birds anyway. So, now I buy strawberries at the supermarket. How much would you pay for a small box (500 grams) of strawberries? They sell them here for 30 SEK (around 4 USD). They are not expensive but not cheap either. But it is a good thing that you c...

Strawberry and Rhubarb Pate De Fruit
2009-06-07 17:06:00 As I woke up this morning, I quickly put on my shoes and ran downstairs to get the boat ready for a little outing. We were indeed rushing, grabing pieces of buttered toast and ushering the dogs up and down the stairs. You see it's rain season here, so every opportunity to be out and about in a dry and sunny moment is fully taken advantage of. We got all the way to the boat landing and all of a sudden the clouds darkened and the skies broke lose. B. looked at me, hands open to the sky, raising his shoulders as if to say "sorry sweets, not today".No big deal, being flexible is the name of the game in June around here but there is plenty for me to do to actually tie myself to a chair instead of going around playing on the water (more on that at the end of this post). When things don't go as planned, there are ways to make the situation a little sweeter. Tons sweeter. Little confections like pate de fruits are especially good to turn grey skies into sunshine, if only in your head. Mor...

Pistachio And Strawberry Mousse Mille Feuilles And A Giveaway
2009-05-24 05:27:00 I just laughed and giggled at all the comments about the Pistachio Creme Brulee Macarons from last week and your thinking that I can take Pierre Herme any day. Clearly an interesting idea but sadly one that will never take place because the man is king in the pastry department. I did get an email from Pierre Herme though, well ok, more precisely from La Maison Pierre Herme. And it was not personal at all. But I loved it all the same. It actually inspired me to make these Mille Feuilles filled with mascarpone, pistachio and strawberry mousses.I like staying close to home by subscribing to French cooking magazine, watch French news feeds anytime I can, and also by receiving PH's monthly newsletter in my inbox. An attractive list of all the seasonal goodies coming up in his shops. And there it was, the whole PH House of Pastry, tempting with more amazing tastes and textures than before.

Powdered Strawberry And Vanilla Bean Macarons

Hmmm...Hope you'll still tune in for one more next week and then I might tempt you with the lovely wild blackberries I see appearing on the edges of the yard. Gosh I love Spring! It would be a shame not to take advantage of what is at my fingertips and right now the fridge is about to burst with local strawberries and lemons.It seems like I have a magic fridge these days. Just when I think I am reaching the bottom of the bowl of strawberries there is another one appearing from the other side. I did find out from B. that his mom dropped off some, as did a neighbor because "{I} would know what to do with them." I did ponder that thought while I was slicing strawberries for a tart. What to do with all these ugly little end pieces that I was not going to use? That's when the idea of dried strawberries popped into my head again and how to incorporate that into another dessert,...

Strawberry Charlottes
2009-04-20 05:22:00 I know it's really Spring when strawberry season starts around here. I think I could live on strawberries alone until the end of June! I almost did on Sunday actually. We went to friends' house for brunch and as we were talking outside on their patio, I dawned on me that it was also the weekend of the Strawberry Festival when strawberry picking really kicks off. We hopped in the car and loaded our baskets! I have already baked a couple of things with local strawberries I got both there and at the farmer's market but in the meantime I wanted to share these Strawberry Charlottes.As you can guess, the little bit of fun we had today with our friends was extremely welcome. I have to say, with last Sunday I am loving how such good weekends are giving me so much energy during the week. Welcome Spring!!

Cold Strawberry Mint Soup and Apricot Tea Cakes

I had a long night ahead of me and decided to make some tea cakes to help me through hours of file organizing instead of popping open a bag of chips and mindlessly muching my way through the entire bag. Withing 40 minutes or so I had about one dozen dried apricot tea cakes cooling down and we could not resist sampling one. Delicious and satisfying on its own.That same day I also had become the instant parent of a 6 pound box of strawberries (they are in season right now in the Southern US) and after making ice ...

Strawberry & Vanilla Floating Islands
2009-02-02 07:05:00 It had been a while since I had the night off to bake something just for us. No book recipe to test, no challenge, no order or request. Just for us. In moments like this I tend to gravitate towards childhood memories and desserts I learned to make with my mother and grandmother. Simple desserts made so often that I bake them from memories with only the guidelines they used to whisper as I was standing on the little step stool next to the kitchen counter. It always amazes me how clearly I can still hear my grandmother's voice every time I make Floating Islands for example.Many years after her passing, Mamie Paulette is still here as I separate the eggs and mix them with sugar to make those lovely clouds of meringues. Everytime I cut through a vanilla bean I respectfully scrape every bean to the last one "pour ne pas gaspiller" (not to waste) and put the pods in small jars of sugar to flavor it.
