2011 Wrap-up - March

03-27 Jim's Spinach Enchiladas & Mexican Rice and Key Lime Pie
We found out that key limes are pretty impossible to find in the Cincinnati area in March. We had to go for key lime juice. I didn't know I liked key lime pie, and maybe I don't, but I love Jim's key lime pie. A great balance of tart and sweet.

03-20 Robin's Cat Cora's Salmon Loaf, Asparagus & Potato Hash and Cinnamon Ice Cream
I liked everything, and wasabi mayo was like a revelation to me. The guys were just OK on the salmon loaf, but the side dish was good.

The Cinnamon Ice Cream with Apple topping was amazing. I love the Ultimate Ice Cream Book. This was my go-to ice-cream book until another one came out. Most of the recipes are made custard-style, where you cook eggs just short of scrambling, hopefully. :) They also have recipes for Philly-style ice cream where the eggs are uncooked. I usually opt for the custard style. We apparently ate the ice cream before I could take a pic.

03-13 Jim's Wild Mushroom Risotto & Apple Custard 
I don't remember much about this meal. I remember thinking you could skip the custard part of the pie - whole cream- for a lighter dessert. It tasted just like a delicious apple pie.

03-05 Robin's Wild Rice Soup en Croute (Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads, Soups and Stews)
Jim was sick this weekend, so I went to my Mom's and cooked for her. In return, I got some nice soup crocks. I'm not sure what "en Croute" means, but I think it means surrounded by buttery awesomeness.
