Corn Soufflé
I went to the market and they had a big display of fresh corn. I know it is a little early for corn, but I sneaked a peek and the kernels were so plump and I could smell the flavor. I had to pick a few ears. Finally I could make Corn Soufflé. … [Read more...] about Corn Soufflé

It feeds the whole neighborhood, a few joggers that jog by, and a few gardeners. … [Read more...] about Improved Lemon Curd
