Summer Cake



A nice light cake for summer: raspberry-peach filled lemon layer cake with raspberry buttercream frosting. Too bad I forgot to take a picture until it was almost gone!

Wisconsin Gruyere

A new good cheese I had tonight, a domestic Gruyere from Roth Käse in Monroe, WI




Carrot Soup, Fresh Beets, Flank Steak

Just a random dinner really. The carrot soup, "Potage Crecy," is one of my favorites.

Starting the carrot soup and braised beets





Smooth and creamy after blending





Searing the flank





Mushrooms drowning in red wine, a beautiful sight





A very red meal with flank steak, mushrooms in red wine sauce and braised beets





Enjoyed with a nice glass of Cabin from Hookstone winery in Wisconsin, order yours today! Hookstone Winery
