Revisiting Huggy Jon's Garden

Have you Bitches noticed an empty seat in the house?...



That's because our friend, Huggy Jon (aka Deep Blue) of Montréal, Québec has been absent due to a serious illness.

In tribute to Huggy Jon, we here at Infomaniac revisit his floral offerings to 2013's Annual Infomaniac Garden Photos Event.

"Voici notre petit jardin de balcon."
(Here is our little balcony garden.)

"Way on the top of the first photo you can see a few cosmos; then the big yellow ones are some kind of coreopsis but I'm not sure exactly; then the petunias (light purple) and the big red one is a Pelargonium. I don't know what are the small yellow ones among the petunias."...



"Here you have some calibrachoa (red), verbena (blue) and tagetes (yellow)"...



"On the back balcony, voici des chrysanthemum, pelargoniums et verbena pour cacher la poubelle" (to hide the garbage can)....



Huggy Jon has posted his final message in the comments section of his blog.

Nous t'aimons, Jon.

Unless you'd rather do it yourself...

Seen on the Slopes

Is it too much to ask that Mistress MJ get away for a day on the slopes without being followed by the Infomaniac paparazzi?

Mistress MJ was pursued down the hill by our health inspector MARGARET...

and HUGGY JON...



Can't a Bitch have a little private time?

Kitchen Queen Contest Entry #3 - Huggy Jon's "You Name It" Dessert

Kitchen Queen Contest Entry #3 - Huggy Jon's "You Name It" Dessert

I'm proposing a very tasty little dessert that I've already posted on my old blog last year. It's very easy to make. All you need are three ingredients you can find at any grocery store near you.

First this:



Doesn't have to be this brand of course! Can be homemade if you already have some. I personally prefer the little-berry jam (raspberry-blackberry-blueberry).

Second, you'll need this:


(vol-au-vent)

and third, this:


(ice cream)

Vanilla works best for this recipe although I wouldn't know since I've never tried with another flavor!!!

Put one scoop of ice cream in heated pastry we call here "vol-au-vent" (fly in the wind) and then pour some lightly heated jam on top of it and you should get something that looks like this:



The flower is optional.

I don't have a name for the dish but I hope some of you will come up with something well-fitting.

Bon Appétit!

UPDATE:
Oh and don't forget to heat up the vol au vent in the oven for about 10 minutes to bring it's fluffy-ness back (should I add BEFORE you put the ice cream?). You can warm up the jam in the microwave.

Contrast is the key here:
-the hot jam vs the cold ice cream
-the flaky-ness of the pastry vs the silky softness of said ice cream.

And I use a fork AND a knife to eat it: you cannot cut this thing with just a fork as easily as a pie or a ca....

Ooops! I almost said the Word
