Sunday Morning

This recipe is right between savoury and sweet, and a nice complement to blue cheese. Contrary to most baking recipes, the salted butter is key to the right flavour, as my dear friend Harry Greenwood (who is the font of much wisdom about shortbread, among many other things) will attest.Watch Full Movie Online Streaming Online and Download

1 cup toasted hazelnuts, ground
3 cups flour
1 lb salted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup superfine sugar (berry sugar)

Preheat oven to 350 F
Combine hazelnuts and flour in food processor and process until fine
Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy and sugar is dissolved.
Add flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Pat into a sheet pan lined with parchment and chill thoroughly (at least 2 hours, preferably overnight)
Dock well and bake for 30 minutes, until golden
Score while still warm, and once cool, turn out onto another baking sheet

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

This is a recording I did for my son's 16th birthday as a surprise for him on my MySpace page. He also plays guitar and I though he'd get a kick out of a “shred” version of Happy Birthday, so I stayed up late the night before the big occasion and cranked this off.

Wind Chime Serenade

Wind Chime Serenade

I wrote this song with the feel of a Caribbean night, wind chimes tingling, and the breeze of the ocean blowing on the porch.

Dreamscape

Dreamscape

The idea for this piece came out of one of our regular weekly jams in November, 2006. I was playing this melody line and really liked the ethereal, dreamy feel of it, so went home and recorded a tune based on it.
