New Year's Eve 2012

Dale and I put together a grazing tray for New Year's Eve.  We set out shrimp, herring, apples, grapes, carrots, broccoli, brie with fig jelly, and crackers.  We drank champagne along with it and managed to get quite full.  For dessert we finished up a pumpkin roulade that we had originally brought to Noel's for her annual holiday fete. I mistakenly referred to it as a Buche de Noel.  I included her response with the above photo.

Dinner and a Movie - Saturday May 5, 2012

Dale made salmon (my favorite fish and one of my favorite dinners) last night. For dessert we finished up the lavender ice cream from Pumphouse Creamery. Our movie was Mamma Mia!

Last Night's Dessert - Scones with Fresh Strawberries

While shopping for yesterday's dinner at Kowalski's, Dale and I decided we really wanted scones with strawberries for dessert. Kowalski's used to carry some wonderful Bramblewood Cottage scones but we haven't been able to find them there for a long, long time. We couldn't even find any of their in- house scones that were plain. I decided to just pick up some Bisquick and make our own scones. Mom used to make pancakes from Bisquick when we were kids. We used the recipe on the box which made six good sized scones. They were really quite delicious with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
