On the hunt . . .

 Whelp.  The rain and cold is still with us.  Early morning temperature was 33°F.  My rosemary looks fine however.  We may actually see a day with zero rain today.  Crossing fingers.

Not sure if you can really see the below recipe, which came from the cookbook I shared in my last post (scroll back to see).

I guess, because I have never made garlic aioli, I did not realize it is basically fresh mayonnaise with a bit of spice to it.

I'm still looking through several cookbooks, but we remain on the hunt for a good burger sauce for grilling season.  I have obtained one from a restaurant, but I need to figure out how to downsize the recipe for two people. 

There is a funny story regarding looking for this recipe, and one of these days will share it.

I'm also looking for my copy of the fruit cake recipe that was asked for so many months ago.  

Update on finding San Marzano tomato plants this spring.  We found them, and the flats range from $40 up to $63.00.  I really need a greenhouse built here.  I really do.  It's still on my wish list.  I just do not have the space in my house, or outlets for that many plant grow lights.
