Pickled Cucumber Slices

Ok, so get this: I’ve been planning to take T and part of my family to Australia for quite some time. And when we were finally ready to leave, my creepy super ego whispered to me “Psst!!…

Recipe Tryout: Mint Chip Ice Cream from David Lebovitz

Ahh David Lebovitz, don’t know the guy but I hear he’s living in Paris. Anyway, he has a very nice blog and some cookbooks on his conscience and that’s how I stumbled upon his recipe for Mint Chip Ice Cream.

Anyway, just thought I’d share my results with you and pass on the recipe to any of you who might also like the combo of cream, mint and dark crackling chocolate strings in one cool bowl of happy.

I’m still in total denial of the fact that there’ll be no more strawberry-picking for little old me this year. But seeing as it IS an inevitable fact, we’d better get the most out of it, right? That’s why I think it’s time for some parsnip soufflé.

Hunting Greens in Dyrehaven

Admittedly these two pictures aren’t related in the way A & B or McDonald’s & self-loathing are, but still. They’re both results of yet another great episode of River Cottage, where Hugh Fearnley and his buddies went around their shire (or something else British) to gather goods for their dinner. Among other finds, they returned with some humongous oysters and a large bag of nettles that ended up in a pasta. Hence picture no. 2 above. That’s the result of our own little hunting trip in Dyrehaven north of Copenhagen about three weeks ago.
