Gluten Free Sugar Cookies (by En)

Tell me what is more comforting than a tall cold glass of bovine or nut milk of your choice and a cookie. I'll wait. Maybe two cookies? Fair point. Today I made some cookies for a gluten free friend of mine who doesn't bake much anymore because of how finicky this style of baking is. Sugar cookies are a win. Sugar cookies dipped in a dark chocolate glaze are a triumph. Soft and chewy with the satisfying crunch that outer shell of sugar gives, I definitely have not been giving these the real estate they deserve in my kitchen. I won't be making that mistake again, according to my friend.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (Brian)

A trip to the Tigard farmers market this morning paid off with a half flat of super sweet strawberries.  Their sweetness sealed their fate to be married to tart rhubarb in a pie.  In a few hours they will be joined by the best man, a butter crust, and the maid of honor, vanilla ice cream, and Tom and I will hold the wedding party of their (short) lives for the lot of them in our mouths and stomachs.

Berry Tarts

I've had this recipe for several years and finally got around to making these Memorial Day weekend. Vanilla pastry cream in a sweet pastry crust. Then topped with apricots lightly sauteed in butter and apricot preserves with blueberries added. Next up is chocolate pastry cream in a chocolate pastry crust with fresh raspberries. Then when local peaches are here it'll be time to try the peach thyme tart variation.  This time of year is perfect for do many foods!

The basic pastry cream tart recipe from Memorial Day weekend, but with cocoa powder added to the crust and pastry cream filling for a double hit of chocolate. The cherries were simmered in a combination of Port and Sherry with freshly grated nutmeg.
