Bastille Day cookie sundae

Happy Bastille Day! 

This Eiffel Tower cookie sundae is just too cute and a perfect dessert for Bastille Day.

I spotted this cute idea on Edible Crafts at CraftGossip, who spotted it on atozkidsstuff in a section for recipes from the movie Ratatouille.  Find all the instructions on a handy pdf here.  I think I'm going to have to give this a try later!
 

Canadian Bakin'

My friend Heather has just started a new blog - Canadian Bakin'.  Yes, she's Canadian and she loves to bake.  For her first post, she has shared a recipe to make these delicious red velvet cake cupcakes....

I've tasted them and believe me, they are yummy!  Go here for the recipe. 

Red currant and raspberry granita

The other day, I was in my neighborhood produce market when I saw some red currants and I realized I had never tried them before! 

So, I picked up a small basket of them with some of my favorite other fruits, thinking of what I could make with them.

Most recipes using red currants are jams and jellies, but I found a  on the LA Times website.
So I gave it a try, hoping with my wishful thinking that it would help bring sunshine to our overcast city, or at least bring the temps up to the 70s!

And voila!  A yummy, slightly tart granita, wonderful even the 60 something degree weather we're having!

Now it's off to do my CraftGossip posts for the week and clean up the house a bit.  Not fun, but you definitely have to clean when you are in the mood for it and take advantage of the motivation!
