Thanks Julie, Keiko, & Chefdoc!

Boy, it’s been a super busy week and a half here — I haven’t even had a chance to look at all the other entries… Life will slow down soon, I hope. Meantime, yes, rum-soaked dates are scrumptious!

Mrs. D, Wonderfully creative post. Looks delicious too!
I will continue to read your posts hoping some of that crativity will rub off on me.

Hi Mrs T - such a gorgeous dessert… I’d have trouble breaking it! Your (poor) kitty looks adorable, I’ve got one too and I can’t imagine living without them…

I empathize with poor kitty — and you too, Mrs. D! How cruel not to get a taste of this lovely concoction. I especially love the idea of dates macerated in rum — that must really heighten the caramel notes of their flavor. Now you’ve made me wish that I could somehow, somewhere taste a salmonberry, as well as the rest of this scrumptious dessert.

Sarah — I think The Cat had a serious case of wishful thinking going on. She mistakenly separated the words “salmon” and “berry” in hopes that some actual salmon would miraculously appear in our kitchen. I have since corrected this error in the post’s text, as salmonberry is indeed one word!

Thanks, Ana, Moira, Chronicler! (Though The Cat would like to point out that the neighbor kitty, not her, is Queen Sarah, and is an evil usurper of garden benches.)

Owen, I would be disappointed in The Cat as well, but she is seventeen-years-old, and the fact that she can still climb up wisteria vines is enough of a feat that I can forgive her lack of food aggression. I should note though, that The Cat failed to mention that I too was unable to eat the dessert (due to its dairy content), and I am disappointed in her for that oversight.

Another stunning entry - it doesn’t seem right that at least 3 out of the four of you are all so good at writing up fantastic food entries in your blog!

I am disappointed in cat, though, our cat would have obtained some - even if it took knocking over something important to distract us and then pushing the dish itself onto the floor and then scaring off Platelicker. (Our cat has our Platelicker equivalent - a 75 pound husky-lab hybrid - completely cowed - although food is the one area where conflict could and would still arise. We don’t have a Platelicker so much as a ‘Nip-In-Behind-Your-Back-And-Steal-The-Leg-Of-Lamb-Off-The-Tabler”

Oh very nice! The berries and the dates combine so well!
