So, what to make for this gala event? I'm doing a party for the hub's 60th birthday this weekend. I'm responsible for the turkey, mashed potatoes and dessert. I'll be attempting individual creme brulees (my husband LOVES it) and chcocolate pot de creme.
If they turn out, maybe I'll make those!

Easter
Made lemon curd this weekend for Easter. YUM!
2 lemons (recipe called for three, but I only used two)
1-1/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
6 tbsp. butter
1/2 cup lemon juice
Zest each of the lemons and place into food processor with the sugar. Pulse until the zest is completely incorporated into the sugar. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and add sugar until well mixed. Add each egg, one at a time, and beat well. Finally, add the lemon juice and mix once more.
In a deep saucepan, add the mixture and cook over medium heat until mixture begins to thicken - approx 10 minutes. You don't want this to boil - cook until just short of that. Make sure to stir constantly as this can easily scorch. Chill and eat with biscuits, croissants, etc.

Pie day wasn't so great for me
I tried the crostata and decided I don't like ricotta cheese! Instead, I made an asparagus tart (like a quiche), but was not impressed. Won't be posting the recipe for that one either ...
