Had some time off last night. What a nice surprise, since I don't get a weeknight off very often. So silly me decided I needed to get into the kitchen and have some fun with chocolate. Strawberries are hitting the stores with some great deals, and folks it’s a good deal at Farm Fresh buy one get one free, and of course the commissary always has a deal on a flat of them for me, when I want to whip out some preserves.
Fruit and chocolate you can’t go wrong, so a nice chocolaty sponge cake with some gorgeous dark chocolate melted into a lovely syrup, threw in some toasted hazelnuts coarsely chopped, ladled some over the cake, added the strawberries, practiced a Quenelle of vanilla whipped cream and some more sauce. I felt a little guilty about serving the kids dessert for dinner, so some fluffy omelets (Stay tuned for “JerzyPeach on Eggs episode”) were put together with slices of the leftover potato bread toasted up I made on Monday. I guess they will live. After all they are teenagers who are hungry every five minutes.
mj, I am SO PROUD OF YOU for keeping up with this blog. you are doing a fantastic job! I checked to see if you had added anything since the potato bread (which both jeff and I loved btw!) and was so excited to see you have written several more posts. wtg!!!
