Another weekend! This weekend means a few things for the Walshes. General Conference, Football, and Cooking. Weekends are usually the time when Scott and I can try our more labor and time intensive recipes. Take right now, for example. As I write this we are in between the first and second sessions of General Conference (non-LDS folks: a televised 2-day broadcast from our Church's presiding leadership; a series of talks and music, happens twice a year.) ESPN Redzone is on the tube and Scott, still in his jammies at 1:11 p.m., is starting creme brulee. Creme Brulee. Is this man NOT ambitious?!
I'm going to let him do his thing, because yesterday and the day before I was cooking plenty. To the tune of sweet potato vichysoisse, and another roast chicken (frenchie style.) Scott did make some amazing orange poppyseed cupcakes, and I made the butter whipped frosting for them (butter, orange juice, orange rind and confectioners sugar - - outstanding.) He also made some wonderful roasted peaches (how fun is the butane torch? A billion fun) and potatoes Lyonnaise to go with our roast chicken last night. Where are the photos of all this you ask? *sigh* I know. We cook more than we can reasonably blog. We are still newlyweds, after all. We need time to do other things - - like watch football and veg. So if you don't mind, I'll just post a few of many photos we've taken this week, in no apparent order, with no added commentary. Because it's the weekend, and I think you can all appreciate that.

I was the lucky recipient of not one but TWO of these creamy little pots of joy! I even got to torch my own sugar (now I know why all little boys like to play with tools)! Thanks for sharing...
