PJ--Those look amazing! I'm not quite sure why I thought a foodblog crawl would be a good thing on a particularly slow morning in the office. Not to mention that I've completely lost interest in my bowl of kashi honey puffs. But now I think I've found a new way to spend my July 4th weekend. I have a bag of frozen mixed berries that I hope will work--and turnovers are a better fate than the smoothie doom they'll face if I don't bake them in something. And maybe since there's no chocolate and just fruit, I can get Nik to eat it! Double bonus!
As you know, Nik is SO not a dessert person, Claire. At the risk of revealing childhood secrets, the only sweet he'd eat as a kid were canned mandarin oranges and raspberry yogurt. I used to try to force cake and cookies on him - no go. Good luck with the turnovers - my guess is you'll get the scrunched-up lips, the suspicious eyes, and the "No thanks..." Come to think of it, you might take that bag of berries and go here: Berry Sorbet. You might have more luck, Nik-wise... :) PJ
