Peace for Paris by Jean Jullien
It can’t continue with this blog without first addressing the current status of world. My heart is broken over what has happen in the city of Paris and I just wanted to send them my thoughts and prayers from my little corner of the internet. Peace for Paris. Peace for the world.
Edward Scissorhands: Ambrosia Salad
Who’s handicapped? My goodness! Don’t be ridiculous. You’re not handicapped. You’re… What do they call that? Exceptional. My name’s Joyce. And I noticed that you have not tasted any of the ambrosia salad that I made especially for you. Allow me.
Joyce, Edward Scissorhands
I didn’t grow up with Ambrosia Salad and when I first heard of it, I was working at a fine dining restaurant and we were assigned to create an Ambrosia salad recipe for a themed dinner menu. I remember laughing at the insane shade of pink some of the recipes I had seen online and I find it quite amusing that I’m creating that recipe now. For someone who hated the idea of this fruit salad, I really loved this recipe. It honestly didn’t make the last two hours of refrigeration before I ate most of it! Please enjoy the recipe!
