oakenguyMy car has no air conditioning, so I drive with the windows down.
This means that, no matter how tightly I tie my hair back, some tendrils escape and start whipping around. And if, god forbid, I try to sing along with the radio, they go right into my mouth. It's like having a small octopus on the back of my neck who really REALLY doesn't want to hear me trying to hit that high note in the A-Ha song.
Weekend Baking Experiments, the results:
chocolate-covered strawberries: GOOD
chocolate mousse tartlets: I think I'd use a different sugar next time, and the crusts are, well...but the decorative streaks of white chocolate across the top & the mousse itself add up to Good
ice cream bonbons: Maybe it was the humidity, or the fact I was working with milk chocolate instead of dark, or maybe the double boiler was too hot, but trying to 'cap' these nasties without the ice cream melting everywhere was grueling and only, at best, half-successful. ENH.
4-layer white cake: it's good taste is almost equal to how ugly it looks. It looks like a deformed brain. Draw your own conclusions.
