GOAT CHEESE & PISTACHIO STUFFED DATES

November 14, 2011

There was a time when I wouldn’t give dates a second look . . . not that kind of date! My mother would bake a date cake occasionally that required the purchase of, I believe, a yellow and red box of diced up date bits, then added to the usual suspects of flour, sugar, butter, [...]

Musical pairing – Beautiful Eyes by Taylor Swift It’s quiet this morning except for a train somewhere off in the distance . . .
