Cook the Book: The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper
Thomas Keller - even though you consulted on Ratatouille, which made fun of frozen food, why have you decided to start selling Thomas Keller frozen food?
Baking with Dorie: Daniel Boulud’s Coffee-Cardamom Pots de Crème
I just made these and they're cooling as we speak. I think for next time I'll start caramelizing the sugar before adding the coffee beans and cardamon. You can hardly see if you have the correct amber color and the pan gets a bit hot so it felt like the coffee was getting burnt.
Skimming the foam off makes the presentation nicer however you lose about 1/2cup in the process. The plastic wrap melted in my oven within the first few minutes so I removed it and didn't use anything else. Maybe because I forgot to poke holes in it? Then again, people at home don't have industrial strength plastic wrap. Looks great and I'm sure it'll taste great!
The Cartoon Kitchen: Filbert Brownies
Used ground almonds instead of the hazelnuts. Would recommend toasting the ground nuts before incorporating into the mix, also added a pinch of salt.
Brownies were good though the center puffed up a lot right out of the oven.

Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.

Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.

Give me a refreshing Gordon's Cup made with cucumber and limes - you can add a splash of Midori for extra pizazz!

Cherry limeade, made with club soda and not plain water. Fizzy and fresh and cold, it hits all the right spots.
