Progress
Measuring success one meal at a time. We are about 1/4 through Mimi’s recipes. The summer is over and schedules are heating up but I remain committed to continuing and hope that my PM buddies are as well.

Pumpkinhead
The pumpkin is a signed and original Ellie. Hand drawn and hand appliquéd and the perfect resting place for Mr. Wong’s cap. He called in to join us at the finish of the Singapore Formula one race – the first he had caught in person – and before he headed off to Shanghai to open our new flagship store. Also worth noting – he called this past Wednesday – just so he wouldn’t miss anything. While we didn’t have a PM, I have to commend his loyalty and commitment. And to recognize how dear I think it is that he continues to be a part of our group despite the miles and time between us. Thank you SW. It means a lot!

The last straw
Biscuit #4 (but who is counting) …. This time with the lemon curd, strawberries and ice cream. Frankly at this point eyes were bigger than stomachs and while the desire was there, the capacity wasn’t. Sadly, this went to waste, or to waist as the case might be. Those biscuits were a clear hit!

Little Fish and Angry Bird
Lounging by the pool became just too much for a little one to resist and before we knew it Ellie was splashing around with the pool float. Unencumbered joy and simple pleasure as she walked to and fro knee deep in the water under PC and KC’s watchful eye.

The highest form of flattery
I love the way Ellie is looking at JC and mimicking the way she is reclining. I get tickled watching Ellie as she notices things and adopts them.

Silliness
Its funny, after all these years, its still the silliest things that make us laugh. And laugh we do at the silliest things. I don’t even recall at what we were giggling but the photo made me smile. Sitting by the pool – relaxed and laughing – now that is what life is about. Thank you my friend.

Strawberries
Lemon curd has always been a favorite of mine. I was surprised at the ease of the recipe and frankly by how popular it was at brunch. One of my favorite breakfasts is greek yogurt, some fresh fruit and a touch of lemon curd. But today it was all about the biscuits. They were delicious – equally good with the BBQ and with a little lemon curd and some infused strawberries.
To make the infused strawberries… take a quart of strawberries and mix with a couple Tablespoons of lemon zest, the juice of one lemon and a Tablespoon of brown sugar. The syrup it makes is delicious as it soaks into the biscuit combining the sweet of the strawberries and the tart of the lemon

Glazed Apples
3 large tart apples (I prefer Granny Smith)
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Melt butter in skillet, add brown sugar, cinnamon and apples. Cook until tender. Serve as side dish or excellent in dutch baby pancakes.

Roasted Potatoes
I’ve become quite fond of these tiny little potatoes. There was some doubt as to how they would do with the roasting but frankly, I thought they did just fine.
In a 350 degree oven I set the roasting pan for about 15 minutes so it got nice and hot. While heating, I tossed diced onions, the potatoes, some rosemary, salt and pepper with olive oil – just enough to lightly coat. I then added to the hot pan and roasted for about an hour stirring occasionally. The result – crispy skins that popped when you ate them.
