Our daughter-in-law Julie 1 (we have 2 daughter-in-laws named Julie, thus Julie 1 and Julie 2) has a birthday this week and as is our tradition we had a dinner for her and the menu was her request. All of these dishes are repeats of her favorites and given in earlier posts but I will tell you where to find them should you wish too!
Our granddaughters Emily and Katie are becoming quite the little cake decorators and came Sunday and helped. I think they did a wonderful job. They have helped Grandma since they were old enough to stand on a chair and reach the cabinet.
Cucumber Slaw, 7/7/10
Orzo with Sugar Snap Peas, 9/6/10
Fathers Day Carrots, 6/21/10
Strawberry Shortcake Cake, 7/4/12
or Fresh Miracle Strawberry Cake, 3/25/12
We also had French bread , buttered and grilled as well as the grilled pork chops. "French Cut" is a preparation of the meat the butcher does for me. Basically the end of the rib bone is trimmed well and the fat and gristle is removed. You often see a pork crown roast with the bones "Frenched" especially around the holidays. It is the same thing except cut into chops.
The peaches were blanched by dropping into boiling water for a minute or two then shocked by pulling them from the boiling water directly into a bath of ice water. At this point the skins slip right off and them I slice them into a bowl with the juice of 1 lemon squeezed into it. After rinsing the blueberries well I add them to the peaches and add sugar to taste and mix everything together well.
The quantities are variable but the process stays the same.
