David Lebovitz's fantastic Fresh Apricot Ice Cream (especially if you've got some lovely French apricots from the market). MattBites kindly provides the recipe. I had no almond extract at home, so used 2 tsp of Amaretto instead. Lovely..

Oh, and while you're at it - his Strawberry Sour Cream Ice Cream is pretty delicious as well (Dagmar has the recipe). I made it quite a few times this summer, and my Estonian friends say the recipe works with bilberries, too:

Elise's Tuscan Scrambled Eggs made a great light supper, and we'll be making it again soon:

I really enjoyed Patricia's Crash-Hot Potatoes (see also Wendy's version):

And while we're at it, here are couple of really-really-really tasty dishes Ximena made us when we were visiting her and her husband J. in Madrid in April. First off, Ferrán Adrià´s bag-of-chips tortilla was both genius and tasty:

Similarly, Ximena's salmorejo is so worth making with some ripe summer tomatoes:

And last, but by no means least, my friend Alanna in St Louis makes a great Classic Seven-Layer Salad:
