Meet Amy

I have struggled with the answer when asked, "What do you do?" and it isn't work-related. Ultimately, we settled on that I find things and untangle things. But I also read (a lot), pretend to wake surf, and watch Hallmark films.

The Weekend Away
it was amazing
So so good! Orla and Kate are long-time best friends off on a girls' weekend away. Kate is a bit of a player who is trying to get back at her soon-to-be-ex, causing her to spend frivolously and do drugs and hook-ups. Orla is a new mom ex...

Maybe Next Time
really liked it
Parts were a screaming 5 and parts were like “what?” And just irritated me. It is a Groundhog Day premise about a family of four - the mom is caught up in her own life and missing all that is going on around her with her kids and then he...

I Heart Faces – Desserts

Over at I heart Faces they are switching it up a bit.  This week it is I heart Desserts.

This is by no means a fantastic picture but it is the WORLD’S BEST DESSERT.

This is the raspberry almond tort (flourless) from Gastronomy Restaurants.  I love buying a whole tort for special occasions and when we make it to Salt Lake to go to the New Yorker, this dessert is a MUST.

Scott used to be a waiter at the New Yorker, and still knows the chef.  I’ve taken a couple of cooking classes from the chef and felt comfortable enough to ask him for the recipe.

He gladly gave it to me.

I tried it.

It turned out like soup.

He realized the custard recipe he gave me wasn’t quite right and sent me to “The Joy of Cooking” and said to use their custard because the custard he uses is a HUGE batch and he’s sure he gave me the wrong recipe.

I tried it again.

It worked.

I still buy it rather than make it.   The cost is far less than the time and cost of ingredients for me to make it.

Jump on over to I heart Faces Desserts to see what others think are the BEST desserts.
