oakenguyThe mousse, whipped cream, and icebox cake are chilling in the fridge beside the Flemish stew I made a couple days ago. Once I'm done here it'll be time to go make the molasses cookies and maybe a couple bonbons...nothing fancy, just something to decorate the cake with.
I think I'm getting a little out of control with the cooking/baking thing. It's winter...nothing makes me want to hover around a hot stove like having it be dark and cold outside.
So, last night there was a little summit over dinner as we discussed possibly selling high-quality sweets at certain faires. There's this gourmet dark chocolate = profits notion that's totally wacky, but hey, it just might work.
Mind you, after one drink there was also talk about having chocolate theme packets based around the performers at a given faire. Like, a 'Good, Bad and Ugly' truffle assortment.
After two drinks we decided the Autumn Tree Fighter truffles would come in nine layers of foil and have a gooey red center.
After three drinks we got inspired by Outback Steakhouse and thought that the business should be 'Ye Olde Englishe Trufflehouse', and we'd name all the different varieties after different historical figures ("The Richard III truffle: small, misshapen, and totally nuts")
After *four* drinks we were talking about photoshopping pictures of cast members onto gingerbread cookies. Voodoo doll possibilities were mentioned. Including a piece of metal inside the Sheriff of Nottingham cookie was toyed with, but...you know...health codes.
Did I mention that all but the first drink were caffeinated? I think there was a fifth drink, but I don't remember much about it.
