Eggnog Waffles for Dylan Day

By

We call today "Dylan Day" because it's all about Dylan. The birthday boy picks our breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He picked waffles with whipped cream and raspberries. Okay...
2 C white whole wheat flour
2 T organic granulated sugar
1/2 t pink Himalaya salt
2 t baking powder
1 egg
1-1/2 C organic eggnog
4 T olive oil

Place all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients and stir till just moistened. Cook in your waffle-maker according to its directions.

Serve with whipped cream, raspberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and an exuberant version of 'happy birthday.'

Wishing my fiesty, sweet boy who lives up to his name - Dylaney which means 'the challenger' - the best of birthdays!

Now off to pick number two: a hike through Point Lobos. Then returning for chicken noodle soup. Not surprisingly, he plans Dylan Day around the meals. That's my kid!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
