Not so Easter dinner

Guests not traditional easter (lamb or ham) meal fans so I went with a MW palette meal. 72hr short rib, pommes puree, corn biscuits and onion/mushroom tempura. Desert was a fun test, aerated caramelized carrot cake served over cream cheese topped with a spiced rum vanilla leche (homemade condensed milk) and caramelized carrot gelato.

How did the gelato tuen out? I'm going to have to try this.

I ordered sees from 7th row seed company - it is a startup from the Cornell Seed Genetics program... they are the ones that collaborated with Chef Dan Barber of Blue Hills Farms to develop a super flavourful buternut Squash (the 898 squash). I ordered all of their new, developmeyal seeds (including the 898). One of the varieties I receied is a new Beet that has an attractive orange-red flame apperance and all the sweetness of Beets without the earthness that some people (def not me) fimd off-putting. Anyways, I am really lookijg forward to trying Beet sorbet with these later this summer.

Turned out quite well (big hit). I've got the seeds on my list, but won't be here about 50% of the time so haven't ordered any. I've had the 898 Squash a few times. My pork producer models their farm after Bluehill and gave some to me last year. They were delicious. Trader Joes the year before (oddly). Look forward to hearing more about your beet sorbet.
