Two words, put together a new way

gerisullivanPistachio buttercream.
It serves as the filling for the sandwich-cookie-style pistachio macaroons I made for the "Welcome the Homeless" party Joe & Edie are hosting for me tonight. It's also utterly yummy, as are the finished cookies themselves.
There are 18 hard boiled eggs in the fridge that I'll turn into deviled eggs shortly before party time. I'm thinking of adding crabmeat to the filling on some of them, just to see what it's like.
It should be a good end to a good week. Mortgage qualification is in great shape, and my Realtor is setting up appointments to show me several houses I'm interested in early next week. Fingers crossed....
More words, put together a new way: Curried coconut with chicken and rice soup. Found at Stew Leonard's, a marketing-concept grocery store in Yonkers. They've apparently got a couple of other locations, too, and I need to track them down. The farm fresh concept is more than a bit overdone, but I loved the food selection. Dozens of interesting soups, and if the others are even half as tasty as the one we had tonight, well, life will be fine indeed. Then there was the "Bone Suckin'" barbecue sauce, again, utterly yummy. Definitely on the sweet side, but with lots of flavor complexity and a mild but satisfying zing.
Orangina was on sale for a small fraction of what I've previously seen it at. I must remember to never go to Stew Leonard's when I'm sleep deprived. Until I win the lottery, anyway, and even then it would be dangerous as I'd probably try to buy the whole store and doing that is just not on my career path.
Pistachio buttercream. Life is good. Staying with friends who have this many cookbooks, and the kitchen tools to support their contents, is good.
IIRC,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redbird will be able to report back on the macaroons, and on the buffalo jerky Joe made. Ditto that for supergee, nellorat, and other friends, too. I'm looking forward to it!

The buffalo jerky was also excellent.
