Finally, after a bit of a lull in my cooking, tonight's dinner was actually pretty good!

I tried CL Deviled Eggs with salmon and this was not particularly to my liking. However, I did use SallyBRs way of cooking hard boiled eggs and it worked like a charm! Thank you Sally!

From Saveur was Chilled Carrot Soup with Fines Herbes Mousse. I had this the home of dear SIL as a very good friend of hers is a superior cook. My soup wasn't quite up to his as his was EXTREMELY velvety smooth. I could not get my texture as smooth as his. But the flavor was wonderful and we enjoyed it a lot.

From CL was a Spinach Salad with Gorgonzola, Pistachios and Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette. Since I have a plethora of pepper jelly I gave this a try. I had some bleu cheese in the fridge so I used it instead of gorgonzola. I also added some fresh strawberries and minced young red onion. Delicious!

From CI, May 2014 I tried their Garlic Lime Grilled Pork Tenderloin. WOW! I highly recommend this. They have you cut the tenderloin in half crosswise then pound until 3/4" thick. Then marinate the pork, grill it, to some saved out marinade add a bit of mayo and cilantro and drizzle this over the pork when serving. Holy Cow! That stuff was really good.

Dessert was a Coconut Custard Pie from Foster's Market.

We are happy and very full now. I hope everyone here got to celebrate their holiday with dear ones this weekend. Happy Passover and Happy Easter to all!!!

 
Thank you so much Deb!! I started in new job in Dec and

had to reorganize my entire life! I am FINALLY settling into a sorta new routine. I have lurked occasionally but have had very little time to cook and I miss it tremendously. I really missed chatting with you and everyone here....

 
Yes, Karen is correct. It is Cooking Light! If you make the carrot soup, let me know

if you get the texture as smooth as velvet please and how you did it! I would love to know.
