Just like the TV show on Food Network. I had the garden tour committee meeting here this week and decided to serve food from my garden. I had white bean spread with sage pesto, lemon balm bars, fruit and veggies and a chocolate pound cake with rosemary. Everything turned out great except the chocolate pound cake. My DH took one look at it and said “Throw it away! You are so chopped!”
Here is a picture:
When I picked it up from the cooling rack the middle literally fell out. I told my DH that there was no way I was going to throw this away – too many expensive ingredients.
So here is what I did – the edges were done so I cut them and drizzled them with a chocolate ganache – still wasn’t the tastiest pound cake I have ever had but at least it didn’t end up in the garbage…
Here are my lemon balm bars. The lemon balm is just barely peeking through but I was able to gather just enough to bake this great treat. I have made this many times and it is always good!
Speaking of gardens, here are some things that are in bloom right now – yellow columbine, blue verbena, peach tree and my knockout rose. I LOVE 
spring!
