First of all, oh LeQuan, how could you post something so delicious without making a super fuss out of it? I used your proportions exactly just with a substitution of low sodium veg broth for water and red wine instead of white, as I didn't have a bottle of white on hand.
Cauldron Boy snorted quite a bit while eating this and, frankly, almost howled at the moon.
And then there is The Kitchen Masochist Girl/Lady and her batik corn. Such beautiful corn it was but with no practical way to cook it in sight. To add to this minor culinary heart break, the Kitchen Masochist was suffering from a heat related skin condition...
Since I don't have access to many of the enchanting ingredients that make up her culinary repertoire, I made some hot, steamy corn for her! Here it is, Deary-canned baby corns. They're not fancy but they're edible, my lovely.
Dennis is also one of my favorite people (chefs that is) to check in on for solid delights. You all probably already know that I love his biscotti, but I have tried many of his goodies. Most recently, roasted chick peas with a cold beer, which beats salty peanuts any day!
Oh, and the lovely Girl Foodie a.k.a. Emily. She is a true foodie, indeed, with rich food that entices. Not only because of her obvious status as an incredible home cook & domestic goddess, but also b/c of her reverence for environmentally conscious produce and humanely raised meats. You just don't know how much I love and appreciate this, my Lovely.
And last, the pièce de résistance: Jenn's sinful tart that I've already eaten half of in one day. Cauldron Boy helped, but, heaven help me, I'm still thinking about having another slice with the super sweet organic, local strawberries we found at the market. Oh Jenn, this is from the underworld. I used my high fiber, low fat crust recipe but the custard is 100% inspired by you!
And here it is!
*Denise at Quickies on the dinner table also turned my cheeks rosy this week, hence my last post!
*And to Greg at SippitySup, well, you really made my week! Thanks Greg...
Fantastic posts. Very giving of yourself to support your fellow foodie bloggers! Have a great night. Cheers!

Beautiful roundup. I love all of them....mmmm....delicious.
ReplyDeleteDear Stella - I can see why you were elbow deep in all the cooking and baking today. What a marvelous gesture from you to fellow foodie blogger friends.
ReplyDeleteQuite a tribute!
The food looks fantastic and the sentiment even more special! Brava!
Ciao, Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
All of these dishes look amazing! I love that they are tributes to other bloggers...that is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteWith friends like this...you won't go hungry any time soon. Great recipes!
ReplyDeleteThe tandoori chicken and the biscotti look delicious. I made an Almond Cranberry biscotti last week. It did really well at the bake sale :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat selections from blogger friends!
ReplyDeleteOh Stella, I'm touched. Thank you. The only thing that's even more heartbreaking is that I can't taste the corn!
ReplyDeleteThose photos look great, btw. Especially the tart.
And thank you for including my blog on your list of favorite blogs. I am truly honored, no
Bee Es. :)
I will get back to you within this week re: blog review.
Ooh, that last one does look irresistible! What a great round up of amazing recipes! Geez, when is lunchtime anyway? I'm starved!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so good..thanks for introducing some of the great foodies to me ,Stella :-)
ReplyDeleteNice round-up...everything looks delicious, and great pictures as well :-)
ReplyDeleteStella I am so so touched that you took the time to try out my recipe. Great choices with the substitutions too. The red wine made the sauce look much nicer. You are definitely a master of creations in the kitchen my witchy friend. I'm so glad Cauldron Boy enjoyed it as well. Oh Stella you don't know how happy you've made me :-D It's like I'm flying to the moon on a broom right now ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe other dishes look so lovely too. Kayla and I both love baby canned corn. You make some so simple look so beautiful. There's definitely some magic brewing in your cauldron. I am SO SO honored to have found such a true blogger friend like you. You have made my week dear, sweet Stella! The only thing I'm not happy about is that I'm jealous that your dish looks so much better than mine (and most likely tasted better too)....teehee. Have a spectacular week luv.
Stella
ReplyDeleteI always feel I should be wearing a torn t shirt, shouting up at a apartment building......Stella...
sorry, got off track there...I am so happy to be one of your favorite people (even as a chef) you are certainly one of mine! You have been a constant source of encouragement, and such a lovely friend with all of your wonderful comments...I consider myself fortunate to have met you!!
All the best
Dennis

P.S.: I do not speak much English, too, Stella! We're quits! lol You understand some Spanish (which helped in understanding the Portuguese) and I, just a little bit in English!
Oh, forgive me when I write wrong! (I'm not a american citizen! Hehe xD)
Thank you for sharing these blogs - everything does look fantastic. I especially love the sinful tart. There are so many great blogs out there sometimes it's hard to keep track of all of them...

Salut ma belle!
ReplyDeleteSorry for reading this so much later than intended. Ugh... I haven't missed work because I was sick in a year and a half. So much to catch up on!
So SO! Thrilled that you checked out the tarte au citron and that you and Cauldron Boy love it as much as we do. And it's hard to stop at simple one piece, non????
You made my day :) xoxo
