Hazelnut Cake – Rocky Road – Egg – Cheese – Cognac

Hazelnuts are also called filberts. They have such a rich nutty flavor and it is evident even when this nut is blended with other ingredients. It has a presence that enhances most coffees and cream desserts. Filberts can be used chopped to embellish other dishes. They are really good to eat toasted, too. Chocolate and hazelnuts are such a good marriage. This cake makes my mouth water, because I know how great it would taste were I somehow able to reach through the screen.

Rocky Road ice cream is a favorite of many frozen dessert lovers. Those nuts and marshmallows hidden inside the creamy chocolate make this dessert an adventure. If you have never tried this confection, I do believe you will soon come to like it very much. When you have finished it the three main flavors remain on your palate for a while, extending your frozen experience.

We cannot forget The Egg Man. In America eggs are a staple of our breakfasts. They are used in many dishes and combined and blended to help other ingredients become something new. Eggs are wholesome, tasty and offer us a variety of ways to enhance our cooking. Everything from the ordinary, to more challenging dishes. Eggs round out our diet, providing much needed proteins and nutrients.

I have never met anyone who did not like cheese. Cheese and crackers are a way to break the ice at a cocktail party, or any social occasion for that matter. Whether you have a business meeting or an informal gathering, bring out the cheeseboard and crackers. Everyone will be reaching for a few more and the room will soon feel relaxed and convivial.

June 1st Hazelnut Cake. June 2nd Rocky Road ice cream. June 3rd the Egg. June 4th Cheeses and Cognacs. Cognac is a heady way to cleanse you palate. It is a liquor meant to be sipped and it warms you right to your toes. Before long you will wonder why you felt so tense, and the air takes on a golden glow. Cognac is strong, memorable, and goes with many types of food. It is usually served at the end of the meal. June is going to be warm, summery and delicious!
