a worldwide “foodie”
It appears that, as I get older, all of my largely unadulterated joy is tinged with that bittersweet flavour of things-that-were-not-to-be.
(I’d best clarify that in saying this, I’m not claiming to be “old” by any means. I’ve still got a good ten or fifteen years in me before that happens!)
But still.
dbc: ice-cream cake
The July 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita’s world – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that’s then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe from Taste of Home.
(and let’s just say that it’s taken me a big kick in the you-know-where in order for me to rise to this particular challenge.)
db: choc mousse pavlova
The June 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Dawn of Doable and Delicious. Dawn challenged the Daring Bakers’ to make Chocolate Pavlovas and Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse. The challenge recipe is based on a recipe from the book Chocolate Epiphany by Francois Payard.
I’m disorganised.
I’d like to say it’s an inherited trait, but it just isn’t so.
Tell you what is an inherited trait, though: my family (all four of us) are completely incapable of sticking to a recipe.
