These horns...

were pretty impressive looking and all we did was wrap sugar ice cream cones in tin foil and wrap strips of pasty dough around them and bake and fill...please don't tell anyone how easy this was!

..Kari, very carefully surrounds the flan with water, a bain marie....they would not cook evenly without this addition.

I know, I know, the shrimp look awfully crowded in this pan...but it made for a great base when we deglazed the pan for the sauce...

Spicy Shrimp (buy them de-veined, at least, not worth the time even if they are on sale) over a savory flan flavored with corn and feta cheese.

Horns...

...these were fun to make but I think we must work on the filling...

Binxx getting ready for pool time!

Kiko's best friend, Binxx....he taught him how to swim last week.

look at how big my little boy is getting....he's almost six months old now...

Aimie and I had never cooked with celery root before...we peeled the damn thing...what a chore...shredded and made a garlic aioli with it...suprisingly good!....maybe not quite worth the effort though...

this did not look as good as it tasted...we can't get our crab cakes to stay together...back to the drawing board....

The seasoned scallops are sauteed in a grill pan....with a bear foot in the corner!

Assembling Sean's creation....

...Spicy scallops over Spanish yellow rice topped with Bearnaise sauce and scallions.

Kiko and Binxx LOVE running laps around my house...

...but when I'm told I should take pictures, this is as good as it gets!

...ahh, the start of another cooking club...pounded meat, chopped onion and an uncorked bottle of wine...

This was a great salad...the peppery arugula, sweet grape tomato, cool cucumber with creamy avocado in a lemony dressing...Andrea I need the recipe for the dressing....I loved this salad!

I don't think we made enough.....for FIVE people

rolling and wrapping in string was quite an interesting chore...they came out beautifully and tasted equally as good.

Tonight's entree was a quite complicated Mexican dish, ham, spinach and carrots rolled with sirloin in a heavenly sauce...

Kari saw a toothpick on the table...

...and became traumatized, so she had to tell us the story....that's all I'm going to say...trust me, you had to be there!
