Kevin's Watch

With pleasure Infelice. (I was wrong though, it's one egg and 50g dark chocolate per person.) (Had it yesterday for dessert.)

I'll find it when I get home, and post it for you tomorrow. Bit of effort, but awesome!

(I hate rhubarb.)

i love rhubarb. when in grade school we would pass a house that had it growing in the yard. we would grub pieces of it. got sick on strawberry rhubarb when i was on my teens. twenty years later while at the House of Pie in Houston my wife convinced me to try it again. i loved it!

Sorry Infelice, I forgot the damned thing at home. (I'm terrible with stuff like that.) (No Dennis, I haven't forgotten, I promise, just haven't done it yet.)

Anyway, will make serious effort to remember it tomorrow for you.

sort of dessert related. when we were kids my grandparents had a float on their property. it was in the form of a tiered cake. 3 or 4 layers, can't remember. you could climb up inside it. it was painted pink, had been made for the town of Weare's anniversery. we played in it a lot. in fact I'm going to track down the history of the cake. my uncle used a backhoe and buried the thing.

The wife just made some rhubarb pie this weekend, form own own backyard supply..MAN it was good.

Nothing like fresh home grown food.
Soon it's will be time for Blackberry/blueberry desserts, then the apples trees should be ripe for the picking...in the fall, the cranberries come out...

i miss seasons! and apple orchards. we have a cold month here in Texas, it just takes two or three months to get that months worth of cold days. i miss fresh apple cider. roasted apples in the autumn air.

I'll send you a bushell this autumn...I have about ten apples trees in my yard, and woods.

Apple cheesecake or Sopapilla's. And now I have this horrible urge to go to El Poblano's!

/me sits patiently and waits

And to my shame, you're going to have to wait again, as I forgot it once more. However, I'm writing it down right now, so you've got a 75% chance that I'll remember it tomorrow.

Sorry again.

Right, here you go:

You need 1 egg, and 50 grams of dark chocolate per person.

(Don't use cooking chocolate, or chocolate with too high a cocoa content, or it won't melt properly. But it has to be dark chocolate. If you use milk chocolate, it's blasphemy against the culinary gods.)

Break chocolate into chunks in a glass dish or double boiler. (Optional: mix a teaspoon of instant coffee and 2 tablespoons of water and add to chocolate)

Melt on a low heat, while stirring frequently with a steel or silver spoon.

Once melted, break eggs, seperating yolk and white. Mix one yolk at a time into chocolate, stirring until mixed in before adding the next.

Put all egg whites into a seperate dish, and beat till the whites are stiff. (The more air you get into this mixture, the better.)

Fold the beaten egg white into the chocolate mixture slowly until mixed in smoothly.

Refrigerate until firm.

(Once you've tasted this, you'll snicker behind your hand when you see people order chocolate mousse in a resturant, and you'll spit on anybody who dares to serve you chocolate mousse made with milk chocolate.)

It's incredibly rich and filling, and makes a fantastic breakfast as well.

Hope you enjoy it.
