And a salad is always in order in the summer as well. Garden leaf lettuce, sweet onions, tomatoes, and avocado all blended with an organic garlic vinaigrette equaled lots of flavor!
Rylan baked the cake and it was excellent! Super dark and abundant chocolate layered with a frosting that he made from an old-fashioned recipe. There's no powdered sugar in it! I didn't know it was even possible to make frosting without powdered sugar, but he did and it was very good. Marcona almonds and cherries in syrup added garnish and flavor.
And last, but not least, wonderful slabs of local watermelon! So sweet and good. When the watermelon is ripe in the valley you know that summer is really here!
Watermelon! I need some more. So if he didn't use powdered sugar, what did he use?
ReplyDeleteThat watermelon does look amazing. The whole thing sounds like a lovely summer meal. The cake also looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks yummy. I'm asking the same question as Vee. What DID Rylan use to make the frosting if he didn't use powdered sugar? Granulated? Have a wonderful day. Susan
