Culinary Adventures with Camilla

For  May's Wine Pairing Weekend event, Wendy of  A Day in the Life on the Farm  is inviting the blogging group to look at Middle Eastern wine pairings. So, after a bit of back and forth about what constitutes the Middle East, I landed on a Lebanese food and wine pairing.  I know that some of the group had trouble sourcing Middle Eastern wines, so Wendy opened up the field to include Middle Eastern inspired-dishes with whatever wine we wished. I do see in the titles that at least a few of us found wines from the region. If you are reading this early enough, feel free to jump into our live Twitter chat on Saturday, May 8th at 8am Pacific. Just follow the hashtag #WinePW and be sure to add it to anything you tweet so we can see it. Here's the line-up of articles from the crew...

Ingredients makes approximately one dozen 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3 eggs 2 cups organic whole milk dash of ground cardamom butter, for cooking For serving: jam, unsweetened whipped cream, lemon wedges, Nutella, cheese (for any savory lovers!), and - for this post, I used - a trio of citrus curds Procedure Whisk all of the ingredients together until lump-free.
