On Lunch: A Stroke of Brilliance

Today Emily had a stroke of brilliance. After a week of very sad food (except for Thursday's tasty asparagus-leek soup) she had plenty of food mojo saved up and it resulted in this meal of perfection:

Baked Apples with Brie and Honey

Indeed. It was fantastic. We used the honey Emily brought back from Pickford, Michigan after spending a week with her family in the UP. It is particularly floral and we reserve it for occasions such as these since it has no business being eaten on our cheerios. (Side note--we might have a bit of a problem with honey...we have three different types currently each of which is reserved for specific purposes.)

Emily also baked some crispy biscuits to eat this delicious spread on. They ended up a little flatter than expected, but it actually turned out for the better in my opinion. They stood up to the sweetness of the apples which in turn offset the richness of the brie. The texture was perfect. Each of the layers melded into the next--soft with crisp, salty with sweet.

It was an excellent lunch.

And we ate it all.
