La Salamandra Dulce de Leche slathered on hunks of toasted week-old banana bread.

Gave up on the banana bread halfway through the second slice and devoted my attention to the dulce de leche spoonfuls of it, sprinkled with fleur de sel.

I had a hard day.

Dee-lish!

The other day we made the meyer lemon sabayon pine nut tart from the French Laundry cookbook, served with honey mascarpone. Surprisingly easy to make, given the source.

Last night was affogato (a shot of espresso over vanilla ice cream). Usually we make our own ice cream but we were lazy and bought a pint.

I believe the pastry chef at NoMI is Kriss Harvey, who used to be at 727 Pine in the Seattle Hyatt. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to meet him, but he always seems to do interesting work.

I LIKE his (her?) dessert menu!

Very cool!

Thanks for linking it, alana.

This has become a standard in the Busboy household. We find that it's even better now that we pay close enough attention to keep the entire top from burning black and having to be peeled off. :laugh:

Homemade dark, dense, fudgy brownies with vanilla ice cream (actually had them for dinner).

Panettone bread & butter pudding. I first had this at the Walnut Tree Inn and this was my first attempt. The flavor is awesome (if, of course, you like panettone), but the layer of custard that developed below the floating bread was silken. I meant to just have a corner of it. I ended up devouring a quarter of it.

I made strawberry sorbet last night using Busboy's formula. Delicious. Locally grown strawberries picked yesterday morning ($18 a flat, usually they get cheaper as the season goes on, so it should be a good year price wise). I made the simple sugar with turbinado sugar (real turb, not the fake stuff with syrup added back to granulated) instead of white granulated. I also crushed a few mint leaves and added them to the syrup as I was making it. None left. Might have to do it again tonight, although strawberry icecream sounds good as well. :biggrin:

Made sweet wontons with dried plums with cherry essence with some cream cheese and sugar mixed in. Confectioner's on top and some of the strawberry port sauce on the side.

We've all been so very good - so long since last post.

"Peppermint Pattie" - two chocolate shortbread cookies with a creamy mint filling - ala Tom Douglas/Dahlia Bakery. A little outline heart on the edge of the half dipped portion.

The other day life handed me some black bananas, so I made banana bread, with chocolate chips. Basic Betty Crocker recipe. You can pretend it has nutritional value. Should be gone tonight, though.

Tonight will be the last few teaspoons of a Kahlua Chocolate Mousse that I made the other night. Plus some fresh-baked brioche if I get around to baking the dough in my fridge.

For our anniversary on Wednesday, I made the Apricot Soufflé from Cocolat. I kind of f***** up the gelée on top, but otherwise it was a masterpiece.

You photographed it beautifully. If you hadn't said anything, very few people would have noticed. Definitely a masterpiece. I may need to have some dessert tonight.

Last night was a 2-layer dark moist chocolate cake filled and topped with whipped cream and strawberries.

Sorry about multiple posts - something wasn't working correctly. Too bad we can't delete posts on this site!
