Week 15: November 22-28 (MOM) Amuse Guele Au Roquefort [Roquefort Cheese Balls] pg. 196

2/6/10
So I was really on a roll today and also made the Roquefort balls. I have had the cheese for awhile now, really good Roquefort, actually from France, by way of Wegmans. I wondered if it was too old, but it's Roquefort, based on mold, so how would you know? I did smell and taste it and it tastes the same as always so I went ahead with it. I ate one Roquefort ball, cut in half, on two crackers. It is very good. The rest I put in the freezer for another time.

Taste: 4, very tasty if you like roquefort
Price: 5, very expensive. The cheese was over $10.00
Ease of Preparation: 2-3, not difficult.
Presentation: It is presentable, but I would not say stunning. I would have rather rolled in crushed pecans, not bread crumbs.
Would I make it again: Maybe, if someone told me they could not live without it.

Week 14: November 15-21 (SAR) La Tarte Des Demoiselles Tatin [Upside-down Apple Tart] pg. 638

I know, I'm behind. Coming soon...

Week 16: November 29-December 5 (KPH) Quiche Aux Fruits de Mer [Shrimp, Crab, or Lobster Quiche] pg. 149


So, I have not been on the blog very much lately, and I am a couple of recipes behind. But, I made this dish with crab last week and it was fantastic. It went together very quickly and I used leftover cream from Thanksgiving. It is a delicious quiche and I am sure that I will make it , or a variation of it again very soon. I am a big quiche fan. Connor also liked it. We ate it for dinner two nights in a row with a salad, and then I took it to school for lunch for two more days.

Taste: 4 (yummy)
Ease of preparation: 1 (super easy)
Presentation: 4 (simple, but elegant)
Price: 3 (I bought crab, which is a little pricey)
Would I make it again? Yes. It is easy, versatile, and tasty
