i am going to try to be real slick and upload all these posts so that they show in order of the meal. so i am starting with dessert, hopefully you'll be reading about dessert last. this was a good one. strawberry shortcake with some twists...
buttermilk biscuits. i am not sharing the recipe, cause it was super hard to work with. wishing i would have "stolen" the one from whoop em up cafe, but instead i found myself using one off epicurious.com.. and it was tricky and messy. but the biscuits were alright...
i macerated strawberries in a bit of sugar, some lime juice, and chiffonade of basil. in the chiffonade of basil there is a bit of my fingernail, which i chopped off and didn't tell you guys. it hurts real bad. delish!
made that fennel whipped cream from the coffee drink post a while back. soaked half a bulb of chopped fennel in a quart of heavy whipping cream with some powdered sugar (about 1/4 c.) and some vanilla. before serving, i channeled my inner 12 year old boy and whipped it by hand.
assembly: sliced a biscuit in half, scoop of strawberries, plop of whipped cream. serve. sing happy birthday. eat. yum. the herbs give some nice flavor making it possible to keep eating after that whole meal.
