The Squash Tale

FairyTaleSquashStones

It is almost time for us to harvest. Our Fairy Tale Squash have survived the summer, the rains and our garden. Now after spending a season growing our first squash and working with the pieces as they developed we are at the point of no return. Now what we have nurtured is ready to nurture us with flavors and ideas.

Blackened Swordfish

One of the things that I really enjoyed about New Orleans was all of the amazing seafood and I took the opportunity to have it as frequently as possible while I was there. One of my favourite meals was a blackened swordfish and I just had to try making it at home! The basic idea behind a blackened fish s that the fish is seasoned and then briefly seared at high heat until the spices and the surface of the fish just start to blacken, but not burn. The high heat cooking helps seal in the fishes juices and toasts up the spices releasing their flavour. You do have to watch out both because you neither want the fish to actually burn or over cook so a brief cooking time is called for. For the seasoning I used a homemade creole/cajun spice blend and I served the blackened swordfish over a sweet and creamy corn maque choux

I wanted to a make a nice and easy dessert for my friend's birthday dinner. She loves fruit and chocolate so when I found this recipe in the Sunset - September 2011 magazine I knew she would love it. I was right. It couldn't have been any easier to prepare this sweet delight. I loved the chewy bread with the warm and sweet chocolate and the sweet and tart raspberries. I also really enjoyed the
