Salut mon ami

Hello my lovelies! Oh how I've missed you...I can't believe its been eight months since we've  had a tête-à-tête. After our last rendezvous the bitter cold winter lilted past my soft winter boots, wild spring flowers came to bid me well and miniature crates of strawberries accompanied me to wonderful dinners during the hot summers nights with our Parisian guest, Ms. Romanoff Sauce.
The mango chicken salad bowl and I had a fitting reunion during Cookie's visit, Gigi and I trolled the stores for summer dresses and  tiramisu and my nights with Bon Appetit was the only summer reading I'd engaged in before the drift to sweet slumber. Ah..how time flies but you were always on my mind.

Gigi and I...shortly before the boardwalk beast

And now the fall beckons me again and I realize that I have been sidetracked from my quest for all things flour and butter. I am happy to say that I am returning but I couldn't come to you empty-handed so here it is - my first baking challenge from my new kitchen.....a Swiss swirl Ice cream cake for you. I can see the corners of your lips twitching with a smile. See you same time next month?
