Ha ha ha, I once thought I had a bat on my shoulder, but when I got into better light, it was only the flower print on my shirt. I had been watching bats, so it could have happened.

I can confidently say, that is the absolute cutest picture of a shallot I have ever seen.

And I’ve seen some cute shallots in my day. Oh yes.

Eeek…a mince! What a funny (but delicious) post!

By the way, I’ll be retweeting this tomorrow (@huggingthecoast on Twitter) as part of a special Labor Day Weekend Twitter Marathon.

Ha! I am late to the shallot party – took me two decades plus to meet my first but since then I’ll agree with Marion – never met one I didn’t like. Or raspberry either. Now you’ve introduced such a simpatico duet I can’t wait to try this out. I’ll be smiling all along keeping an eye out for other shallot mice to show.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Cooking without glasses might be a great title for a book on kitchen mishaps. Or life. I loved this, especially since the tale ends with the breathtaking combo of fruit and shallots. I have never met a shallot I didn’t like. In fact, I make a shallot pudding (yup, I do), and will rustle up the recipe, but first had to say how much I adore this post.

As delicious as your photos are…the last one if my absolute faaaavvvorite! I can not believe the mouse shallot. It’s so fabulous.

I can not WAIT to try this for our weekend guests! I’ll let you know how it goes.

Shannon: I’ll think about a few house updates. Because there is always house going on. Always.

sippitysup Greg: Welcome, and thanks. Strong and unusual flavors, just one more delivery system for fresh mozzarella!

This is an incredible concept. I have paired basil with berries plenty of times in my life. But I WISH I had thought of this! Fabulous…GREG

I truly enjoy reading your blog! I’m very inspired to cook/bake and I’ll be sure to send you photos when I do try some of your delicious recipes!

I know that you shifted from a house blog to a food blog, but have there been any updates to your home that you could share? I really loved reading about the building process. It’s great that you were so involved.
