Oh, I do love to cook, and generally, I'm a very good cook. At least I thought so up until yesterday.
We had company for lunch, not fancy company, just the extended family kind, where you still want to spoil them a little but not have to make any extra trips to the grocery store. I was making a cheese souffle, fairly common for us on Wild Rabbit Farm, but usually a treat for others. With our extra fresh morning eggs, the result is always a deep orange-yellow, rising beautifully over the dish. A mixed greens salad with radishes, carrots and jicama, and tossed with a French vinaigrette was perfect. And now the 'little' problem....
I was pretty sure that we had a baguette out in the freezer. Lexie went to get it just before lunch and guess what - no baguette. The solution - fresh rosemary biscuits since we had buttermilk in the refrigerator and frozen whole rosemary in the freezer. Um, doesn't that sound yummy?
Just a little problem. Remember this if you ever think baking soda and baking powder are interchangeable: they are NOT. I inadvertantly, in my rush to get the biscuits made and in the oven before the souffle, mixed the two up. I added baking soda instead of the baking powder and even our little dog, Abby, wouldn't eat them, and honestly, she eats everything!
So our palates were tempted, but alas, no rosemary biscuits with lunch. (We ended up toasting up some delicious rye bread instead - good, but just not the same thing!)

ReplyDeleteits always a really bad sign when the dog won't eat it - better luck next time or maybe the recipe was wrong??? :-)
