divine angst

Tonight’s culinary experiment was raspberry shortcake. I had some really pretty raspberries I bought earlier this week, thinking I’d do cup o’ cobbler with them, but never really got around to it. (Cup o’ cobbler is served hot, too, and it’s been warm enough that the dessert didn’t sound all that appealing.)

So while we were in line at the grocery store this afternoon, I saw the cover of this month’s Saveur, with a strawberry shortcake on it, and was struck with a brilliant idea. I’d make strawberry shortcake–with raspberries!

I used a Cook’s Illustrated recipe–it’s a web exclusive–and it turned out really good. Here’s a picture. Sorry about the quality; it’s hard to take good pictures of anything white, like whipped cream, with a flash.

It was TOTALLY YUM.
