For Linda in Milan

For Linda and any other Canuck missing a taste of home:




On a related note...our men and women in Kandahar are getting their very own Tim Horton's:

    Jasmine,

    Great post.

    I hope you're having better luck with Timmy's than I am ... I'm zero for 10!

    Hi Ivonne

    I'm having horrendous luck!

    So far 28 coffees and only one free one. With one in nine odds, I should have had three free thingies by now. My boss who's had about 15-20 hasn't won anything and one of my colleagues is on her 20th cup and hasn't rolled up a winner yet.

    I'm sure people who aren't
    Canadian/hooked on Tims looks at the picture and my count and are just shaking their heads...

    Hey Jas!

    I've been thinking of making a panna cotta lately, too. Living in Houston with 80 degree weather in March makes that feasible. I have never made it myself, but I've gathered all of the necessary ingredients.

    I was thinking of using oranges, berries or perhaps even chocolate and/or cardamom. What flavour did you make? Let me know, okay?

    You may have noticed that I've been on a bit of a blog hiatus, but have no fear, I'm still in the game. Fa sho'! Jus' been workin' on a couple of new design ideas and takin' care of off-line life stuff.

    Cheers!

    Hi MM

    I started with a vanilla panna cotta as outlined in The Silver Spoon. My next one will probably be an almond-cardamom one...

    Welcome Chelle! Thanks for visiting and the kind words.

Thanks for stopping by.

I love visitor reactions but not anonymous notes, comments which went one round too many on the spin cycle, part of an inflammatory campaign, or those best left for the compost heap. And yes, comments left by "content marketers" are spam, in my eyes and will be dealt with accordingly.

The recipes I post have worked for me, but if you've had problems, I'll do my best to help. Attacks based on results because you've not followed what I've posted (changed ingredients, cooking methods and/or quantities) won't be posted.

In other words: be kind or constructive, not libellous or smarmy.
