I'm bumping this thread back to life. I'm hungry and I want to get cooking. The anthro dept. barbecue is this Fri. Too cheap to give a clam bake this year, unfortunately. Ie is pot luck by last name, I am in the dessert or side dish group. Thinking....anyone have any good ideas? I'll let you know what I decide.

Lime parfait? The best I had in Ogunquit few years back in a now defunct "Poor Richard" restaurant, with captain's chairs and the panel windows open to the old apple trees. The parfait was a real zabaglione, not an easy modification, light and smooth. Wait, by the time you'd be at the party place, it may separate, sorry.

It should be something "durable"!

waiting for a full report on that bbq skor!

bbq already? i'll tell you what in April down here in the flatlands it had already hit the low 90s... today? kinda chilly for NC... well maybe that's good in the sense it won't be 105 degrees in May... plus they drained the pool here are repainting it re tiling fixing the broken ladder on the deep end... now if they could just infuse a chemical into the pool water that would instantly dissolve all the children and teenagers i'd be in old man heaven!!  ;D   :D

I ended up bringing a spinach artichoke dip, so delicious! It was  two cans of artichokes, chopped up fine in food processor, not totally pureed. Then I took them out and put in an 8oz. block of cream cheese, about a half cup of mozzarella, about a cup of grated parmesan, about a cup of sour cream, about a half cup of mayonnaise an a few splashes of hot pepper sauce world that all together. Steamed a block of chopped spinach and squeezed all the liquid out, then mixed everything together and baked it. Yowza!
I would love to be eating that lime parfait right now, Sven. Sounds so refreshing and light.

Love cheeses and spinach, but never thought a dip could be baked, poor me! I mostly concentrate on main courses, appetizers are for wussies.  ;D :P ;)
