Heading to a party where there will be lots of wine, and not sure what to take? How about some simple savory cookies - biscotti and sables made for wine pairing?
I love lemon bars. I'm definitely one of those people who will pick a lemony dessert over a chocolatey dessert when given the option. I'd never thought to add preserves to a lemon bar before, but this is a perfect combination. The nut crust variation gives these bars an added flavor and texture component that, while not needed, certainly doesn't hurt!
After being stuck in the house all week with 100 degree days, it seemed like the entire city burst out on Thursday night. The lake was swarming with people, cafe sidewalks were crammed with strollers and dogs, and the tiny little farmer's market on Queen Anne was getting picked over pretty quick. It didn't hurt that the market is set between two low-rise buildings that catches the breeze or that they had some great street food options. From the looks of the displays, summer had definitely arrived in Seattle.
