Frozen Vodka Gimlet Pie
This is as good as it sounds. Wow! I do like Vodka Gimlets but this is a whole different ball game. I made individual pies. Six in total. Next time I will make one large pie.
Frozen Vodka Gimlet Pie
6 Graham Cracker pre-made pie shells
1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. kosher salt. divided
3 1/2 tbsp chilled heavy cream
3 limes, zest removed and put aside
7-oz. sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 Tbsp. vodka
Whisk heavy cream in a medium bowl until cream begins to thicken to the point you see ripples and stiff peaks begin to form, 3–5 minutes.
Cut 3 limes in half and juice into a fine-mesh sieve set over a glass measuring cup (you should have about 1/4 cup juice). Pour lime juice into another medium bowl and whisk in 7 oz. condensed milk, 1 1/2 Tbsp. vodka, and 1/8 tsp. salt until smooth.
Fold half of the whipped cream into lime juice mixture, carefully folding under and over while turning the bowl. Add remaining whipped cream and continue to fold until no streaks remain.
Pour in filling. Gently spread filling to edge of crust.
Sprinkle the lime zest over the pie.
Freeze pie at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
This is a variation of a Frozen Margarita Pie found on Bon Appetit. I just prefer this one!

Beef Tenderloin "Dogs", Zucchini and Burrata Salad And Pie!
Love long weekends! I was able to do extra stuff knowing Monday I can sleep in. What did I do? Well, I made a pie but I will fill you in on that later in the post.
For dinner, I splurged. No, really this was a big splurge. I made Beef Tenderloin "Dogs" with Corn Relish. I had "pinned" this a while back. Being a holiday weekend and having gotten paid yesterday I went for it. The recipe is from Food & Wine. What an amazingly delicious dinner this was. The meat was so tender it actually worked eating it in a hot dog roll. And that corn relish was pretty good too!
The side dish a dish that will be probably be put on the best of list. Zucchini with Nicoise Olives and Burrata. Again from Food & Wine. I was sold on this when I saw the word Burrata. What an amazing thing Burrata is. The zucchini was cooked to just tender and then cooled, perfect for prepping ahead of time. Loved, loved, loved this!
Now on to dessert. A Mixed Fruit Pie. Peaches, White Peaches, Italian Plums and Blueberries. The crust was my usual Pate Brise. I sliced up the peaches and plums then mixed the fruit, including the blueberries, with 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch, 2 tbsp. Sugar, 1/2 tsp. Lemon juice. I rolled out the crust and put the filling in the crust. I used a smaller pie dish so I had the extra crust for the lattice top. This was so very good. The fruit was perfectly ripe, may be a little over ripe. Some Vanilla Greek Frozen Yogurt added to the dish and wow is the only word that comes to mind.

Green Bean Salad, A New Cheese, Steak and Pie
I harvested 2 green beans this week. Yes I was hoping for more. I have not made a green bean salad all year. I wanted to wait until the crop was ready. Today I was at Bishop's and they had fresh picked green beans. I bought some and added our 2 green beans to the mix. I used the recipe my mom use to make. Steam the beans and toss with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, parsley and oregano. I added a tomato, from our plant, and some olives.
I almost forgot about our appetizer. While I was shopping at Bishop's I was looking at the cheese selection. I saw a container of Burrata, Fresh Mozzarella Filled With Cultured Cream. Oh my God where has this stuff been all my life! I spread some on Italian bread and topped it with cherry tomato halves. This has to be healthy to eat... please....

Now about the steak. Porterhouse steaks were on sale and looked really nice.
Chris seasoned them with salt and pepper before putting then on the grill.
We had some Black Pepper Butter that we put on top of the steak, nice touch.
And yes there is leftover steak!
The wine, Ruffino Chianti Superiore 2011.
And even dessert!
From Food52 Rose Levy Beranbaum's Fresh Blueberry Pie. I had the pie crust in the freezer. It was a small portion of crust so I made a small pie, enough for 2 people. It was quite good. Was not sure if I had done the math correctly for reducing the ingredients but I got it right!
And did you ever turn around and see something like this staring at you?
Happy Caturday!
