what a great recap! i love the mini cupcake idea - we've got baked by melissa in NYC, and they are fabulous. and i'm totally impressed with your electrolux sponsorship! how AWESOME! number 8 cracks me up. it must've been tough to maintain an appetite - all the food looks delicious and there was a lot of it, i think, from the recaps i've read ;) heh heh. anywho, i like your condensed version - much easier for us who didn't attend to wrap our heads around what went down. a+! :)
fab ice cream and cuuute pictures! i am a lover of both coffee and coffee ice cream, though the two taste entirely different :) i also own an ice cream maker that i bought from a yard sale but haven't buckled down and tried to use it yet. it seems like such an arduous process, but if the results are this sweet, it seems worth the effort!
banana and black beans on fish? this is fabulous. i am totally impressed with this recipe, as usual. can you come to new york and cook for me?!
oooh, i'm so happy to hear! i love aarti!
Homemade ice cream AND lemon tart, that is!
Hah, my brother is the same way about his feelings toward food. Everything is just kind of okay to him- he never gets excited or shows great emotion. It always used to bother me, though im sure some bowl licking action is a way of showing an intense liking of something! Homemade ice cream is certainly one of those foods!
Cute pictures, by the way! I like you guys ;)
Dear god, mint pesto?! Just got some fresh mint from the farmers market- will have to try this!
my favorite omelet involves 1 whole egg, two egg whites, roasted red pepper, chives, jalapeño pepper, and goat cheese. sprinkled with salt and pepper, obviously.
this is seriously awesome! i love the views, the beautiful kitchen and delicious looking food! aaand free wine. and bobby flay recipes. everything about this party is fabulous. can't wait to hear more about it and read more recipes. happy b-day to your husband!
This is my kinda Tex-Mex! With chicken I could totally serve this to the BF and his friends this weekend (it's his birthday, so I playing nice girlfriend). I'll let you know how it turns out if I end up making it!
