Strawberry Jam Custard with Reverse Chocolate Wafer Crust

Let me first confess, I was multi-tasking when making this recipe. I made some mistakes but worked with them just to see what the result would be. Surprise! Surprise! Who knew you could turn a mistake inside out and create a perfection. Either make this recipe as written, complete with errors, or try a different version and let me know the results. In the Foodbuzz world, we celebrate the strawberry in the month of May. In Utica, the strawberry is picked and celebrated in June, but we’re always a little late around here so we will celebrate and feature the [...]

Buitoni Mixed Vegetable Pasta

Sunday Ridin’: About 25 miles on the bike today. We played a little Frisbee with Shane in the soccer field then set out for a ride into New Hartford and over to Creekside for breakfast. The sun was shining and it was just hitting 58 degrees. We dressed for the later part of our ride so getting to breakfast was a bit chilly. It was a Veggie Giambrotte for me and a Veggie Omelet for Ted. That hit the spot. Before we left, I had 1/2 a banana with peanut butter for walking and playing with Shane then an apple. [...]

Running Up Hill

Do you ever run up a hill just so you can run down it? I found myself doing that this morning during a short 3 1/2 miler with Shane. I just love running down hills. Not too steep, just so it makes the run easy for a few minutes. It’s such a disappointment when there is a hill but it simply levels out at the top. You have to come down eventually but sometimes it’s not quite as steep as what you went up. Just a thought. The wall is finished in our living room… I’m having a tough time [...]

A quick thought for dinner

I didn't really have any plans for dinner because Ted had left overs and was planning to visit Nicholas tonight. I did end up cooking Radicchio and a Buttercup squash. I didn't like the Radicchio, it was bitter. The squash was ok, but not one of my favorite. The Radicchio was sauteed with some onions, 4 slices of chopped soy bacon, a little flavored EVOO, I added some lemon and sauteed until slightly browned on all sides. The Buttercup squash was done 10 minutes in the microwave. I scooped out the meat, added a little salt and pepper, [...]
