The Cookie Trials
Trial number two of my chocolate-filled shortbread pillows, though not beautiful, was popular with my teenaged nephew. I admit that I managed to choke down most one or two of them myself.
I just made the ganache for trial number three. I think my cream-to-chocolate ratio was a little high--the stuff is cooling and not getting very firm. It's shiny and dark, though, and of course it tastes fantastic, because what's not to like in Valrhona dark chocolate + cream?
If it fails to set up, I shall be left with no choice but to use it as sauce on coffee ice cream. Damn.

I know, I know. I bought a single-purpose kitchen gadget, totally against Project Empty principles. *sighs* What can I say? "Throes of enthusiasm" is my only excuse.
