On the List

After an unexpected bout of strep throat that came out of nowhere and did a real number on me, I’m looking forward to hopefully getting back into the swing of things over the weekend, which means a brand new edition of On the List!

I’m also sharing the first picture of one of the delicious pastries I mentioned in last Saturday’s post. The Strawberry Blancmange was a special pastry made just in time for Mother’s Day weekend, and it was light, delicate and most importantly delicious. We also picked up a Lemon Basil Meringue Tart and a Raspberry Chocolate Eclair. Très magnifique!

After a recent bout of strep throat that’s been tough to get over, this Chamomile Honey Cocktail is looking seriously delicious. Now to come up with a mocktail version.
