| | That's what you readers get. Nothing for a month, then two in one day. 
i am making a new creation for dinner tonight-- garlic rice. First i sauteed some garlic in oil, and then removed it. Then i added a bit more oil, and sauteed the rice. Then i added water and the sauteed garlic. We'll see how it works! i felt like trying something a little different.
Here is another something different: i wanted to make ganache, but had no whipping cream. i did, however, have just a tiny bit of vanilla bean ice cream left. YUP! i melted the ice cream and used it in the ganache. Surprisingly, it didn't turn out too sweet-- and i even used semi-sweet chocolate chips rather than the 60% dark chocolate. After mixing the chocolate into the melted ice cream, i licked the spoon. It was pretty tasty.
i also finally bought some Demerara sugar to taste-test. It was cheaper than plain evaporated cane juice (surprisingly), and i haven't ever tried it before. i do like turbinado quite a lot, for topping baked goods (and for eating straight-- it's nice and crunchy), but i haven't ever tried Demerara before. It's darker than turbinado, and has a definite molasses scent and flavour. i think it'd be a good substitute for brown sugar. i imagine it would be excellent on top of creme brulee...
i guess this post was mostly about feasting. |
