The Draughtsman's Contract

This past weekend I wished I was in Peter Greenaway's movie, The Draftsman's Contract(1982).

Mr. Thomas Neville, a cocksure young artist is contracted by Mrs. Herbert, the wife of a wealthy landowner, to produce a set of 12 drawings of her husband's estate.

Mrs. Herbert offers an unorthadox agreement:
'For which Thomas, I am willing to pay 8 pounds per drawing and to provide full board for Mr. Neville and his servant'.

Le Beurre d'Amande

We are back in la cuisine PBers, mais forget les macarons!
The adventure continues using up those pounds of Honeyville Almond flour...
As a daily eater of peanutbutter I asked myself why not?
Easy peasy too!
2 heaping cups almond blanched and toasted meal
1/2 tsp sea salt
about 1 tbsp olive oil or less
Regarde!
In just 3-5 minutes. And here's a nice video to help you DIY :)
Et voila!
This stuff does not taste bad at all and is rather pricey when storebought.
My new beurre d'amande will only sit next to le Grey Poupon in the fridge - rather snobby IMHO...

On to the next (almond meal) thing...

SESAME CRACKERS! These are from Elana's Pantry. I will need a proper rolling pin next time if there is a next time..ahem

Cutting up the 2" crackers before baking - ooops I said the 'B' word :(

BEAR likes the crackers which is a hole in one...sort of. Could one put the almond butter on the almond-sesame crackers? One could but should one? I'll be pondering that question this weekend...

Just by chance, ready for a little R&R last night, I turned on TV et voila - there was BIG BROTHER. And they were dipping contestants into a giant bowl of melted butter whist attached to a giant mix-master gizmo! The story of my life currently :O

Mon dieu PBers, should I head out to the nearest pastry shop?

Do Tell!!

BONJOUR LE WEEKEND!
