What I'm Reading This Week #32
Howdy do y'all and how's it hanging this week? It feels weird to not have had people traipsing in and out of the house all week. I'll take it though. We haven't had any storms yet, of course so no sigh of relief just yet but fingers crossed. What I can happily update is in using the moisture meter against the wall yesterday, is the off the chart over 99 number we got before that set off alarms? It's now down to 24 and technically considered dry but those baseboards aren't going back up until we've had some storms. I can't tell you how relieving it is to have that meter so we know the moisture is going down in a place we couldn't see unless we cut out a huge piece of drywall. Tuesday I did some zinnia pruning as that task got ignored for two weeks because of the aforementioned traipsers (new word). It'll be interesting to see if rando zinnias start popping up due to the petals that have seeds attached falling off. I was working besid...
Tough choice here but I think I will have to go with the first thing that comes to mind. I won't say where it is because I don't want a bunch of people flocking there but there is this chocolate mousse nutella mousse concoction called a Nebula in a certain part of New England that is so good it truly makes my eyes roll back in my head on the first bite.
ReplyDeleteWe recently had a dessert at an Italian restaurant that was a bread pudding made out of the chocolate Italian Christmas cake - it was really good! A bit like a lava cake. But my fave dessert is probably homemade peach ice cream.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I'm trying to think of a restaurant that I've had a super dessert at and I'm drawing a blank. The first thing that came to mind for spectacular was my mom's strawberry roll cake that is out of this world! Second to that is an apple cake. I've made homemade eclairs with chou paste which I have to say are pretty fabulous, but I wouldn't say it's top of the tops.
ReplyDeleteThe Gingerbread pudding cake from Bon appetit magazine is one of the only desserts to truly stop me in my tracks. Years ago I tagged along with a friend to her co-worker's "dessert party." Everything served was a dessert and it was NOT a potluck. This woman had made all the desserts herself and there were many of them displayed all around living room, dining room and kitchen of her gorgeously restored Craftsman-style house. I tracked down the recipe online and have made it several times. It's always a hit.
