and you know all the whys and wherefores of this countdown, right? Homemade cookbook, friends contributed, Handyman said I couldn't/wouldn't do it, I'll show him, yadda yadda yadda....
...and the rest is cookbook history!
Just remember, the countdown is not all about pretty food and food design---it's about the people and the stories.
And (the most important thing) proving my husband wrong--and that I can and WILL make every recipe in this cookbook.
Which brings me to recipes #339 and #340
Ashley's Pecan Tartlets and Chicken Piccatta
It's like a slice of pecan pie you can just pop in your mouth!
Yummy!
I really would not make it as a food photographer.
White on white on white?
This is really good! I like artichokes and capers. Oh, and chicken. I like chicken---it comes out so moist in this recipe.
And this brings me to the end of Ashley--her recipes anyway.
Maybe I'm going so slow at the end of this cookbook countdown because it feels like I am saying goodbye to my friends.
(yes I am sentimental)
(yes I know I can just call and see her anytime)
(but this is different 😉)
Ashley.
She likes all things Disney.
She likes baseball (specifically the San Francisco Giants)
She likes snowmen.
She likes to cook.
She owns a few restaurants.
Speaking of their restaurants, at the Griddle, the restaurant in Winnemucca (well, they are all named The Griddle--they just have 4 or 5 of them in different cities) I do love the meatloaf sandwich.
Why am I randomly talking about meatloaf all of the sudden?
Because I found this conversation from an old Friday Friend Forum folder.
Mmmmm-- it really is good on grilled sourdough with grilled onions and jack cheese.
You can see all her recipes in the Friday Friend Cookbook countdown, right here. Just click.
It's kind of fun to go back and see what all everyone made.
Goodbye my friend!
(at least in this cookbook world)
So, friends, My friends! These are recipes #339 and 340
out of 361 (I'm 99% sure I have all the math down pat now)
2023 will be the year!!
(Although I'm slow going)
Then what will I do?
