Eternal Cloudiness of the Cook's Mind

"In life, all you need is good friends, good food and good wine." I may have a few things to add to that list, but I agree with the sentiment. What follows is my experience with food. There will be a lot of thoughts, ideas and suggestions with a few recipes thrown in for good measure. Hopefully all of my stories are relavent to the food that is presented, but I can't make any promises.

Tropical Fruit Platter

With the weather turning warm, fresh fruits will be at the peak soon. Here is a great way to make a tremendous impression with a tropical fruit platter enhanced with a simple Mint & Lemon Infused Honey. Just take 2 cups of honey and bring it to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove the honey from the heat and add 1/2 cup of fresh mint leaves. Let the leaves brew for about 5 minutes, then strain them and discard. Next, add the juice from 1 lemon and stir well. Let the honey sauce cool to room temperature and serve alongside the fresh fruit. Another great alternative would be to add fresh vanilla instead of the mint. Try both !
