Breakfast on a Lazy Saturday


D worked last night, so I got up at 7 and picked him up from the fuels branch. I then came home and promptly went back to sleep. At some point, he came in and went to bed. He'll be out till 4 or 5 this afternoon. I got up around 10, took Diesel for a walk, and then came home and stared in my fridge for a while, trying to decide what to eat. I grabbed the dough with the spanish wrapper that I could only hope was puff pastry, a half empty tub of ricotta cheese, and some cherries. I unrolled the dough, cut it into squares, and let it start to come to room temp. I mixed the ricotta with some powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest and a dash of salt. I then sliced and pitted the cherries. Spooning the ricotta into the squares of pastry, and adding a couple of cherry halves, I pinched them up into little packets, and threw them in the oven at 400 for what eventually turned into something between 20 and 30 minutes. They were so much tastier than I could've hoped! I enjoyed them with a cup of coffee and some milk.

these look so divine - if I saw them on a menu for brunch somewhere, i don't think i'd be able to pass them up. it sounds like your ricotta concoction hit the mark too!

Marina,
I'm happy to see you've been shopping on the economy in Spain. Tried to talk Dad into flying to Rota Space-A in March, but he's a party pooper.
Speaking of economy, check out my new blog: econoquilt.blogspot.com.
Love, Mom
