Train Cake |
I made a train cake for David's birthday several years
ago. It came out great! Here are a bunch of pictures of the whole
process and the finished product. |

See pictures and description of the following menu: Garlic soup with shitake mushrooms
Latkes (Happy Hanukah!)
Horseradish encrusted salmon medallions with garlic spinach with a mustard dill sauce
Salad from the salad bar (we were all too full - that's entirely untouched)
Poached pears with home made vanilla ice cream with burgundy syrup

| Hungarian Mushroom
Soup |
My dear cousin Johanna introduced me to this soup - and
YUM! It was a big hit at a family dinner get-together, even among those
who didn't like paprika, and/or dill (it has both.) VERY good - make a
double batch! |
| Garlic Soup |
This is a Cooks Illustrated recipe. With my
modifications. Fantastically good - if you like garlic, which you really
should. |
| Romesco Sauce |
This is a wonderful sauce. It's garlicky, and piquant
from red wine vinegar. My version is red pepper based. There are other
versions that are tomato based. I'll probably post a recipe for that
if/when I get one I like. My husband, who doesn't like red peppers and
really despises almonds, LOVES this! This dip was one of the things that
got me trying red peppers in other applications, too. |
Cream Puffs  |
These are one of the easiest fancy-looking desserts to
make! I highly recommend you try this, if you like cream puffs, or
eclairs. Yum! |
| Sweet Potato Bisque |
I'm not a huge sweet potato fan, but we made this soup
in a class I was taking and it is SO incredibly good. If you ARE a sweet
potato fan, it's probably that much better. It's incredibly good. |
