'The Remains of the Day'
Such atmosphere you offer us Joey! 'The Remains of the Day" Perfect! Your photos are just gorgeous. A lovely way to end the day. ;>)
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous photos--and even more spectacular when put together in a montage. I'm really looking forward to perusing more of your blog.
ReplyDeleteAh, what wonderful photos. I kept waiting for something to be set afire int he recipe, but that would be flambais, not Framboise! Je m'excuse!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol. The 'Remains of the Day' is always different, always a joy (as are your delightful visits).
ReplyDeleteHow kind, Xavi, and thank you. I too have enjoyed perusing yours ...
Ah, dear Monica, you are a hoot! As you can see, though now home, my head is still at the lake. After catching up here (about to hit the garden), will return on Thurs/Fri ... hopefully at some point this summer, my head will catch up with my body! ((August hugs))
What a lovely place to sit and watch the sunset and listen to the birds settling in for the evening. LOL, it beats watching the sunset over a cornfield. Not much romance here:)

I just love your photography Joey.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos Joey, I want to lose myself in the view through that wine glass. As for the souffle, I need to squirrel away that recipe for when our new chickens start laying eggs in a few weeks. I'm always looking for recipes that can use up lots of eggs! It sounds delish too!
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel blessed, dear Marnie (life was not always this way and a dream come true for me). Trust me, growing up I saw lots of sunsets over corn/beet/pickle fields and why I fell in love with the 'remains of the day'!
ReplyDeleteHuge thanks, imac ... and I love your photography too!
You are a dear, Clare ... wish I could share this with you! It's fun to capture each month's setting sun while sipping and shooting. Mr. Ho-Hum wipes the rim although a clean glass is best with a sipping one beside :) Though they may look the same, each month is different as the sun dances across the sky. It's a tough challenge but someone's got to do it ... and that would be me :)
Joey, This morning I took a walk and saw the sun rising and it struck me once again that i want to see the sun rise and fall every day...It's a joy to watch and a true spirit lifter. Your photos are wonderful and gosh if I don't feel really good looking at them~Thank you, dear, xxgail
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe. It looks marvelous!
ReplyDeleteLove that Michigan sunset. So spectacular!
Joey, that Hubbard Lake looks magical. I can see why you want to spend time there. My mother was a great souffle maker, always talking about how you had to serve it right after it had risen. It has been a long time since I have made one but it sounds delicious.

Absolutely lovely sunset collage Joey.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots joey - even more so with the sunset on the glass. And that recipe sounds tantalizing. GM became my favourite liqueur during constant business travel in my previous life - when liqueurs were still served in business class.
ReplyDeleteDelightful images Joey! I love the one with the wine glass..very creative!I look forward to sipping wine as I watch the sunsets in my new home by the beach very soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Gail. I often think of you (especially in the garden) when I'm shooting ... how fun some day to do it together :) Home briefly then back again tomorrow or early Friday, hoping to see/capture the Northern Lights!
ReplyDeleteHi, Rosey, and thank you. Surrounded by The Great Lakes, we are blessed to see amazing sunsets. Happy August :)
Thank you, dear Eileen. Hubbard Lake is indeed magical. This cold soufflé doesn't flop like hot ones from the oven. When autumn nears, I will make/post my Mushroom Soufflé with White Cheddar Sauce that I haven't made in ages.
Thank you, dear Kala. Happy August shooting :)
Hi, Rick, and thank you. Sunsets and wine go hand in hand :) Always have some GM on hand but mostly for cooking and guests.
Hi Anna! We must have been commenting at the same time. I just visited your stunning new home and surrounding Paradise! I am so happy for you :)
Oh my Joey..fabulous recipe and the superb ambience of photos along with it..Wow!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Kiki. Can you tell, it's my favorite time of the day!
ReplyDeleteDearest Joey, Many apologies for my late appearance, but I have been on my travels.
ReplyDeleteNow, dearest Joey, there are so many problems for me with this delicious receipt which you give here today. First, I have no freezer. Secondly, just the word 'souffle' and I know that I am way out of my depth. Thirdly, my kitchen equipment that I have knowledge of does not,I believe, include pastry bags or thermometers.
What I do have is Grand Marnier which I have poured into a glass and drunk in a toast to your most wonderful pictures of the lake. Here's to you and the remains of the day!!
... and I will gladly join you, dear Edith! There is more to life than cooking! Here's to the 'remains of the day' ... Cheers!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love a gorgeous lakeside sunset! And add in a glass of white wine, and you have heaven.
ReplyDeleteCome join me, Robin! Thank you dear blogging friend.
ReplyDeleteThat glass of wine in front of the sunset...doesn't get better than that.
ReplyDeleteArre wah! (er, that's the Mumbai version of "ooh la la!") I love your blog, Joey. Gorgeous blooms, beautiful photos and droolworthy recipes ... it doesn't get any better than that!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michelle. It's a double treat!
ReplyDeleteYou are a dear, Sunita, and thank you.
