Cherry
As I write this, Alex is attempting to remove several matchbox cars from our stereo speakers with a set of fondue skewers. Naturally I was the one who put them in there cause I like to do stuff like that.
This weekend we were supposed to have our first couchsurfer guests. We were expecting a couple from France who were traveling with their three year old daughter. Unfortunately they couldn't make and had to cancel their trip at the last minute. Too bad because we had also received (and turned down) couchsurfing requests for the same nights from several others including a Dutch clown who specializes in juggling fire.
I was also disappointed because I had cooked a huge meal in preparation for our stranger guests. Since cherries are in season I decided to make pork tenderloin stuffed with goat cheese and topped with a cherry balsamic sauce. And for dessert, homemade cherry ice-cream in my Rocket Chef ice cream maker!
I found the Rocket Chef in a thrift store in Lausanne. It had never been used and only cost about $2. Best of all, if James Bond had ever made ice-cream, this is definitely the machine he would have used- how could I resist?
The entire meal was delicious and luckily our friends Virginia and Steve came over at the last minute to help us devour it!
