*Popcorn
We've been popping our own and experimenting with different
fats to pop it in. We used duck fat first and last night used a really
fragrant olive oil. It blows all microwave popcorn right out
of the water in terms of flavor. Next step is to pick up some
truffle salt.
*Buttermilk Biscuits
I'm pretty sure that I made my finest batch ever this weekend.
I think they key was using my own buttermilk (which you get when
you make butter) and a little bit of yogurt because I was just short
of a cup of the buttermilk. The yogurt added a nice tang to them and
they came out flaky and delicious.
*Seeing Green
I finally spotted some little green leaves sprouting
on some of the smaller trees and the first flowers breaking through
the ground. I am so ready for spring, for shoes without socks, pretty dresses,
lively cocktails, bocce matches, and the delicious vegetable harvest.
*Getting to the Neue Galerie
I desperately want to see this exhibit, and a little
stop in the cafe is always welcome.
*Grand Budapest Hotel
I love Wes Anderson's style and whimsical world, this movie is
up there with the best of them. Ralph Fiennes is fantastic.
I also found a recipe for Mendl's Courtesan du Chocolat,
which I will definitely make in the near future.
*"You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe,
an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but
a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious
of itself. What an amazing miracle."- Eckhart Tolle
