Cognac Butter Recipe

eec replied to your photo: My dad gets boozey gift sets from his customers…

i just made a batch of cognac butter and it ruled: wickedwhisk.wordpress.c…
Damn, thanks, Eden. Adding to the to-do list…

Tonight:

Step 1) Eat CR’s Levain bakery cookies

Step 2) Cook The Wall Street Journal’s Chilled Zucchini-Basil Soup, using some of the insane amounts of basil that took over our yard this weekend (It tastes better than it looks…I can see why they chose to illustrate the recipe with an image of zuchinni instead)

Step 3) Watch Happy Accidents on Netflix

Nothing says ‘summer’ like perfectly grilled corn. This week we make Mexican-style elote, or corn slicked with Mexican crema (or sour cream or butter), cotija cheese, cayenne pepper, and lime juice. It’s a sloppy, delicious side dish, the perfect compliment to whatever you’re grilling up at your backyard barbecue.

Fabulous BBQ corn tips from WCFoodies today. I never thought of pulling the husks out of the way to take off the silk!

Let’s talk about kale chips for a moment. The first time I heard about these was from Amy last week, and it sounded like the perfect snack for my life: salty and crunchy with the magic of kale. Now that I’ve made them twice, I’m a little disappointed, because I really wanted them to taste like chips (and they don’t). I have to think of them as “kale crisps” or “salted kale flakes” to make them feel like an appealing snack and keep myself from comparing them to their more delicious chip brethren.  Salt & Vinegar Crispy Kale Flakes: Remove stems & cut into little chips  Shake up with olive oil, salt, & vinegar Place flat on cookie sheets in a single layer Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes
