First was a spin on Giatta's Lemon Ricotta Cookie with Lemon Sugar Glaze. Instead of the 40+cookies the recipe is supposed to make, I used a large ice cream scoop to make scone size piles of deliciousness and we think it turned out spectacularly. The recipe yielded 12 cookies, tweaked to my liking. More of a not-dry biscuity type of cake-cookie and so super yummy in the morning with some strong earl grey tea. Perfect!
Also, Jocelyn was so kind to gift a totally indulgent brownie pan for my bday and I was completely stoked to use is asap! The results were so amazingly scrumptious and cute and perfect! The pan itself comes with a recipe on the back and inspired by the ever-svelte Barefoot Contessa, I swirled in dollops of peanut butter (salmonella-scare-whatever) and they made for a dense cake with the perfect proportion of chocolate crispiness on the outside to gooeyness on the inside. I'm in LOVE with this pan!
Yup. Then we made some grilled lemon chicken skewers with satay sauce, which doesn't need to to be served warm so it's perfect for buffet style dining! Partay! The leftovers made for an awesome chicken salad sandwich for dinner tonight. Add in some salami, cheese, chunks of bread, bread+butter pickles, strawberries, chili-cream-cheese dip with frito scoops (ala Jamie), pickled green beans. Uh...can you tell I have a RAVENOUS appetite now? What, what?!

We have made those cookies, but not that big. I LOVE your version!! And I saw that pan at WS...I must get it! Glad you like it!!
1. I am in love with your brownie pan.
2. I almost fell out of my chair from excitement (hunger?) when I saw the lemon ricotta cookie scones.
3. How perfect in a fantasy world would it be to have meals cooked by Giatta, Ina, and let's throw in a party decorated by Martha. ??
4. Will you be making anything for Valentine's Day that I can copy?
