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.

Family Treasure 2
I’m not proud of this photo. I even reviewed this with my mentor – Peter Poulides of the Spot Studio – and it isn’t a good shot. I totally had the wrong lens on the camera. The lighting isn’t flattering for everyone (although I have to say that I think everyone looks pretty spectacular). It isn’t well composed. In other words, it is not technically a good photo.
BUT…. it is a PM Family moment in time that will not be captured again. We are all happy. We are all healthy. And we are all together (except for SW). And for that reason… It is a treasure.

Family Treasures
I love the teapot….always have. My grandfather Fielding always said to me “that’s yours, you know” – it was to him very valuable, and was the only thing that he owned or had in his house that he assigned to one person – me. I was always honored by his gift and always cherished it. When you told me how much you loved it and wanted it some day it was with great joy I could give it to you.
Shirley aka Mom…..
This would be the perfect pot for brewing the tea to accompany the biscuits and lemon cheese.
