ROASTING APRICOTS FOR A SORBET…
“I doubt whether the world holds for anyone a more soul-stirring surprise than the first adventure with ice cream. “ Heywood Broun Here’s a short & sweet post…great roasted flavours, that I made ages ago. Picasa has been misbehaving & lots of my files seem to have become inaccessible with a .ini file type. Naughty & bad Picasa! I can see the pictures in the folder, but when I try to open the folder, it says nothing to view. I have a few pictures of this beautiful roasted apricot sorbet which I had elsewhere, so I’d better get it on my blog before I lose these precious few pictures too!…

EXPLOSIVE MANGO-NECTARINE SALAD TO BEAT-THE-HEAT
“In summer, the song sings itself.”William Carlos Williams Fusion of flavours…tantalizing the taste-buds! I beat the heat with this explosive fruit salad. The flavours were refreshingly FRESH, & the dressing complimented the fruit beautifully. Inspired by entries for Beat the Heat that I saw at Ann @ Redacted Recipes, Nic @ Cherrapeno, & Elle’s @ Elle’s New England Kitchen, I set on a no cook trail this morning. Turned to Epicurious found this great sounding ‘no cook’ affair, with great reviews to match…& put this wonderful salad together. The zing of lime, the freshness of mint… Believe it or not, it did BEAT THE HEAT! The temperature is down many,…

ADDICTED TO FOOD BLOGGA’S ADDICTION…A BEAUTIFUL PEACH & PLUM GALETTE!
“We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink…” Epicurus Galette a la Plums & Peaches! If someone said to me that they made a galette, I would just nod & get on my way, maybe wouldn’t even bat an eyelid! Never heard of something like that before (seriously I haven’t, even if that means you think I live under a rock!). Now if someone showed me a picture of a galette they baked, & if that someone had the word addiction in the blog post, & if that someone was the ever so talented Food Blogga gal, it would grab…

“On vacations: We hit the sunny beaches where we occupy ourselves keeping the sun off our skin, the saltwater off our bodies, and the sand out of our belongings.”Erma Bombeck Are back from Chennai down in the South of India, where it was baking hot…& yet we had a great time.

DROPPING SCONES FOR A PANCAKE BREAKFAST…LITERALLY!!
“Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”Lewis Carroll Drop Scones with whipped cream & mango There are some meals that leave a mark on you, a stamp in your mind (or as in my case, on the DH’s)! The memories of the quintessential American breakfast my sister stirred up for us in Dallas last year is a case in point, & features in our foodie conversation ever so often. Whinge, whinge the man goes…why don’t you ever make pancakes? There is some block in my brain where I stubbornly DO NOT wish to get up early, hit the kitchen & make pancakes. But sometimes there are…
