OT Chocolate
I don't bother to cook much that requires a recipe anymore. Food
tends to be either fairly plain old standby's or prepped from mixes etc. But with Valentine's day on Sunday when I usually do what little cooking I manage, I wanted to do something different. I saw a menu that included chocolate mousse a few weeks ago and thought, you know I've always meant to try to make that from scratch and just never got around to it. I lost that recipe but I found this on on the net a couple of days ago. http://www.andreasrecipes.com/2009/0...e-mousse/print It looked do-able. Especially since it didn't go into the whole double boiler nonsense. (It still generated a sink full of dishes by itself) I made one change. I bought a bag of Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate chips and used those for the chocolate called for in the recipe. And I did go out this morning and bought a good brand of the freshest eggs I could find. Wasn't going to all that trouble with the two week old eggs in the fridge. Its all done and in pretty dishes chilling. I just licked the bowl and its wonderful. I could just skip the dinner (lamb chops, Brussels sprouts, new potatoes) I planned and serve this. Its that good. Happy Valentines day to you all. Jo |

I was holding my breath through the post, waiting for the -"and it failed it's awful and I've been crying all day" part. I've never even tasted chocolate mousse, let alone made it. Your whole menu sounds wonderful~ Karla |
