gooseberry mooseberry: Shrimp and Noodle Salad
It's been hot. We've had an almost unbearable heatwave last week. And once again cold dishes and salads are my friends.

Oven Roasted Potatoes
When I heard this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp Challenge was potatoes, I was pumped. Originally, I had great plans for the sweet potatoes still in my basement from last fall, but after researching and chatting with the hubby, I decided to go with Yukon Gold potatoes instead. My husband isn’t a huge fan of sweet potatoes and I wanted to make something he would enjoy too, so that’s how I settled on this oven roasted potato recipe. Yukon Golds are our favorite potato to grow in the garden and they absolutely melt in your mouth when freshly dug from the garden. But oddly enough, I’ve never actually roasted them in the oven. Of course, I’ve added them to a roast with carrots and onions and celery, you know the usual, but never on their own.
Brushetta
A beautiful summer night (11 p.m. to be exact) in Drogheda. Remember when I first arrived, and I wrote a post about the “Irish diet?” Basically I was amazed that even though I was eating more starch, fat and sugar than ever before, I wasn’t gaining weight. I think at the time (it was still wintery in early March), I chalked it up to the fact that my body – used to the balmy climate of Los Angeles – was working overtime to keep warm in freezing-cold Ireland.
Spicy Green Chile Queso (or not so spicy)
I don't know if it's because of what part of the country we're in or what, but here in Austin, you'll find queso at practically every gathering! (And if it's not on the menu, you know our family will be the one to bring it!!) All it takes is one can of Rotel tomatoes to every 16 oz of Velveeta and a bag of your favorite tortilla chips for the best dip ever! (Velveeta even makes queso blanco now too.)
