Grapefruit
I finally tried making a broiled grapefruit for brunch this morning. Just sprinkled some brown sugar mixed with minced candied ginger over the cut sides of a halved grapefruit, then put it under the broiler for 5 minutes. It gets sweet, warm and juicy - Todd even liked it.
We just had it with scrambled eggs and toast, but I think it'd be a nice addition to brunch. It's a little more labor-intensive than it looks, though: I cut along all the little membranes and along the outside edge to make it easier to eat (no grapefruit spoons here). We also had cafe au lait, although we need to get those big cafe au lait bowls to really enjoy that.
Checked to see if the pork chop recipe was on your blog. Did you end up making them?
My pies were a hit at our barbeque. Our neighbor was picking his sour cherries today-I hope he brings us some.
I LOVE sour cherries. I'm very jealous that you can buy them fresh. I've never seen them fresh, but I do go through a large jar of bottled ones every few weeks. I eat them with vanilla yogurt for breakfast. What a great idea to have them with ricotta though. I'll have to make some ricotta just to try it!
