No fresh fruit was available for garnish so I used...what else? Sprinkles!!!! Yes, they aren't good for you and all of that, but you should always keep some in the kitchen to cheer you up.

Al Parfait
Here is "Al Parfait," so named because the base is part of the remainder of Al's birthday cake, which was homemade angel food cake. It's easy and fun to throw things like this together when you have guests for dinner and you want to make a dessert for them that isn't too heavy.

I love food. I love talking about it, creating wonderful dishes, and feeding people. The kitchen is my happy place and I love conducting experiments there, whether the dishes are savory or sweet. I like to blog about it when I have time, in hopes that I might help or inspire others. I don't consider myself a food snob, though I am picky about how certain meals are prepared. I'm happy with a simple meal at home, like beans and cornbread, as well as a meal in a fine-dining establishment (and everything in between). I hope you enjoy my blog and leave me some feedback if you have time.

Lucky 7 Shrimp Salad
I spent a long day reviewing empirical studies and peer-reviewed articles for a research project. I decided that doing a bit of work in the "lab" was in order...for rest and relaxation. Here is what was born in Dr. Frazier-stein's lab today (click on the link below for the recipe):
Shrimp kissed with a marinade of balsamic vinegar, sesame oil & ginger syrup, then lightly roasted.
Served on a bed of baby greens dressed with emulsified apple dressing and garnished with toasted sesame seeds.
Was it good?
It was GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
This one's a keeper!

Mac-n-Cheese=Good. Mac-n-Three Cheese=BETTER!
This batch has Tillamook Cheddar, Muenster and Parmesan. Too much is never enough! My recommendation: Use a combination of cheeses whenever you make mac-n-cheese. Beats boxed crap full of chemicals EVERY time, even if you just use one type of cheese.
