The new crepe restaurant
I'd recommend it. The bannana caramel crepe was a little sweet for my liking, but the tomato crepe with feta was very good.Comments [0]

In keeping with the theme of lemons yesterday, I also made lemon ginger marmalade to finish off our Meyer lemons. Quite tasty this morning on homemade toast (love those lines on the loaf that the proofing basket leaves behind).

In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the milk and sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just comes to a boil, about 4 minutes. Stir in the vanilla.
Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with several inches of ice water. Put a smaller metal bowl in the ice water and set a fine strainer on top. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Pour about 1/2 cup of the milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the milk mixture and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens slightly, enough to coat the back of the spoon, 4 to 8 minutes. Immediately pour the mixture through the strainer into the small bowl. Stir in the yogurt and zests and cool the custard completely by stirring it over the ice bath. In a blender or food processor, purée the avocado with the lemon and lime juices and about 1 cup of the cooled custard until smooth. Fold the avocado mixture back into the custard. The mixture should be thick, creamy, and pale green. Freeze the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer the frozen yogurt to an airtight container and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours.Comments [0]
I shook the cream until the fat separated to leave me with butter and buttermilk. I finally decided to use my quarter cup of homemade butter to make a compound butter with sesame oil and ginger. We'll try it tomorrow night on some salmon.

Pomellos are one of my favorite fruit. I like the slightly sweet grapefruit flavor. They are wildly expensive in Anchorage so I took advantage of my location & bought two. The downside is it takes some work to enjoy the tasty insides, the skin is thick & the pith plentiful. Oh, but the reward so wonderful.
