The Cookie Trials

[darkemeralds]

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.

Oh yes absolutely!

Except I say why one or the other? Why not both?? Yours first, some night that works for all, ours next, some other night that works for all.

(Saturday nights are best for us, as S works weeknights. Sundays are doable, too.)

Well, all righty then! I'll email you and we'll plan. And ITA--why pick and choose when "both" is a perfectly viable option?
