A beautiful chocolate mousse cake with strawberries. Tastes great and looks beautiful.
I love the things that can be done with fondant, but although nobody seems to acknowledge it, the stuff doesn’t really taste very good. Years ago I saw the recipe for white chocolate (which I adore) plastic but had forgotten about it until I saw it again recently and thought …
No news here, I still love pizza and having recently spent some time with my brother and sister-in-law who have a real outside wood fired pizza oven I just had to do one more pizza post (not the last I’m sure).

I’ve been testing ideas for Daughter’s college graduation which of course we want to celebrate with the proper decorum (in other words parental glee). She wants cake balls of course, but I did not want to spend the next week making hundreds of them after realizing that my original plan of …
Of course we had ham for Easter and with everyone gone home and just the two of us, there was a lot of leftover ham! There is always freezing, but first I pretty much use it until we can’t stand anymore. This week I’ve made ham and eggs of course, …
