Fall update

Well things are gearing up now that fall is here and I get to quit my job in just 89 days from today, but who's counting. 

So we have been busy in the kitchen.  We have sucessfully tested and picked a holandaise sauce for our eggs benny.  That was a fun morning.  A couple of friends came over one Sunday morning and drank coffe while I made 5 different hollandaise sauces.  We blind tested them all and picked our top two - then had eggs bendict with the twosauces and finally decided on the winning sauce.  YUM!

A couple of weeks later we had another yummy testing Sunday Morning.  We stole, I mean borrowed an idea from Jen, and we made banana bread reng toast.  All I can say is OMG - was it ever good.  This is a keeper on the menu for sure.  Robin and let our imaginations go a bit and thought it would be really good with whip cream and banana fosters topping.

And finally we spent this past Sunday afternoon making home made wild blueberry jam.  Jam is actually not all that hard to make - just time consuming.  Hope it turns ourt yummy - it sure looks good.

What's on tap - we are going to do a french toast weekend and choose our batter and bread for the standard french toast, and we still need to sample some waffle recipies - then it is sausages and home fries.  Lots to do still.
