Feeling a little daring?

Avocado and lime chilled cheesecake

The Mr. had a birthday this week and I indulged in some full on  cooking time- Mexican in all it's flare takes a little bit of time. Mango salsa, baked black bean burritos, some guacamole and this!  I tried to find a cold desert that would go with Mexican and this one turned out better than I expected.  Actually it was delicious, a good finish to a spicy meal on a very hot evening. Click here for the recipe if you want to give it a try.
Happy Friday to one and all

Hope to see some of you here!

  1. Oh that sounds delicious except that "burritos" (for the life of me I don't know why they would call a dish "little donkeys") is definitely "made North of the border" and is tex-mex... Just teasing it does not really matter now does it?
    And I also felt daring. I made a brioche today! It came out better than I thought. Will post the recipe shortly --really easy.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

  5. As always, I wish we were neighbors, sigh. Looks yummy. Best of luck with the market. A quick ex-pat question, a friend of mine is moving to Italy and wants to be buy a sewing machine with a manual in English. Should she buy an italian machine or a American machine and use an international converter? What do you do?

    Was the birthday terrific?

  10. Maggie, I don't know the exact name of the color of that door, it was from a small 1930's flat we rented in the north of the island last summer. I would say something like cobalt blue.

    Theresa, the cheese cake was really really good! The avocado very subtle but the gentle lime and cream a very good combination!
