BUTTERMILK AND PEACH ICE CREAM

SO those peaches I mentioned got ripe good and quick and I had a fresh quart of buttermilk in the fridge. here are my results...I sort of followed the buttermilk ice cream recipe from The Lee Brothers Southern Cookbook, which is a new treasure. I just ate that for my breakfast. It was tart and sweet and creamy and worth blanching a mess of peaches.

PEACH AND BLUEBERRY PIES

Today I was sick in my belly. So crappy I felt, that I went home from work. It being Wed I walked through the farmers market on the way to the train, looking for burdock root and of course it being late August peaches were everywhere. So I grabbed a couple handfulls and went home to lay in bed. After some burdock tea and a 4hr long nap, I woke up full of piss and vinegar as they say. So I made little peach pies with Schnick. We also made pickles!

FOOD TATTOOS

Have you guys seen this Flickr Pool for Food Tattoos?! I had to share!

Some of them are so specific, I love it! (Like the jelly roll pictured here, by xflikax). There are a TON of cupcake tattoos kinda like the ever ubiquitous butterfly tattoo.

AUGUST DOTM APPLE COBBLER!

First and foremost- congratulations to Nicole!! Yea!!

I decided on apple cobbler for the August recipe because cobblers are very summer to me, but apples have started to show up at the farmers market, which is a nice welcome to fall.

Happy Baking!

LOVE YOU MAKE IS = TO LOVE YOU BAKE

Our dear Molly did not actually bake this monstrosity, our pal Phil did for the pre wedding BBQ. (well, Ags and I helped a little) I just had to post it cos it is so crazy looking. I cannot believe Molly could even lift it!!

KAT'S JULY DOTM- PERSIAN COOKIES

Hiya peeps!

Since our lovely Nicole is off in Richmond getting ready for her big day, she asked me to post my recipe card from last month. I made Persian rice cookies with lots of cardamom. It's a really light, fragrant cookie and is especially good with coffee or tea or (soy/rice/moo ) milk. The rice flour gives it a grainy texture, not unlike a shortbread cookie, only much less dense. It's a very easy recipe and I hope you'll give it a try.
