The terms “Mardi Gras” (mär`dē grä) and “Mardi Gras season”, refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. From the French term “Mardi Gras” (literally “Fat Tuesday”), the term has come to mean the whole period of activity related to those events.

Posted In picture itGoat cheese is one of those foods that I didn’t like until I reached adulthood. In fact, I was sort of horrified by it until eating some accidentally in a salad. You see, as much as I love cooking and baking and all that jazz, I freak out easily over anything unfamiliar. Yup, I’m that girl. I’m glad goat cheese and I met up though because it’s been a beautiful friendship ever since – hope you enjoy Goat Cheese Week!
Goat Cheese Pear Tarts are a gem of a recipe that is incredibly easy to make and is sure to impress every time. Fruit always seems to bring out the earthiness of the goat cheese – always a good pair.

Whew! Another one bites the dust. These four day work weeks get me all the time. I’m always pumped for the three day weekend, but the abbreviated week that follows is always extra crazy!
This Weekend:
• out with E to meet J
• make Lemon Garlic Tilapia (so easy and YUM!)
• call to wish B a happy birthday
• buy my stepdad’s birthday present
• research new cars (!)
Happy Weekend!

Just the thought of this Honey-Lime Curd with Creme Fraiche has my mouth watering! The combination of tart limey-ness with flowery honey sounds amazing.

I’m not a big sake drinker, but I am big on well-designed barware. And this glass sake bottle would also be the perfect vessel for chilled wines and cocktails. Add ice into the side compartment for instant chill without watering down your beverage!
