A Rainbow of French Macaroons

Mar 06, 2007 - My friend Anna picked these up at a Bay Area bakery this weekend. I never knew there were so many flavors of French macaroons, including Anise, Chestnut, and Coffee. Also, you can't really tell from the photo, but these cookies were like 3 inches in diameter. - 5 Comments

Mouth-watering sweets

Oct 16, 2007 - My friend is both an amazing chef and photographer. We joke that she specializes in "pastry porn" because everything she makes looks too good to be true. Then, a few days ago on Sugar, I noticed that the most viewed bookmark was a picture of lemon bars. - 5 Comments

Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill in Las Vegas, Nevada!

Aug 17, 2007 - Just last week I was in Las Vegas where I had the chance to visit Mesa Grill (in Caesar's) once again. Im a fan of Bobby Flay and love his grilled foods. As a result, my second trip to Mesa with my bf did not disappoint: Blue Corn Cornbread Muffins and Italian Sourdough Bread -- the cornbread was our fave Rough Cut Raw Tuna Nachos with Mango Hot Sauce and Avocado Crema -- so incredibly delicious and fresh, the kick of cilantro was great Crispy Squash Blossoms Filled with Ricotta Cheese, Corn, Basil, and a Yellow Habanero Sauce -- a very elegant starter that paired nicely with the sauce Spice Crusted Swordfish Steak with Charred Jalapeno-Basil Vinaigrette -- this was the bf's and it was very, very good 21-Day Aged Black Angus New York Strip Steak with House-Made Mesa Steak Sauce -- cooked perfectly and very tasty, although I wasnt a fan of the steak sauce (but then again I dont like A1) Side of Roasted Corn with Lime, Chipotle, and Cotija -- unbelievably delicious, the lime was such a good complement to the roasted corn Warm Chocolate Cake, Dulce de Leche, and Toasted Pecan Ice Cream Served on a French Macaroon -- a very sinfully delicious lava cake, but not too much dulce de leche (which tasted more like nutmeg juice than anything), so I was sad Mesa Fresca with Sauza Hornitos Tequila and Grapefruit Soda -- I wanted to try this last time, and it is quite refreshing! - 10 Comments
