"two layers of a flourless chocolate cake with a rum-chocolate italian butter cream filling, glazed with a silky dark chocolate ganache"

i hope you're quoting a cookbook, because that description sounds kind of pompous

6/10/2007 10:36:29 PM

I homemade pizza with pesto, tomatoes and feta cheese. MMMMM yum.

6/10/2007 10:37:28 PM

^^how the hell is it pompous?

6/10/2007 10:47:57 PM

you're going a little overboard on the adjectives and sounding like a pompous french cookbook

6/10/2007 10:51:38 PM

im going to disagree with you here,

and say that he only used the appropriate adjectives to properly and adequately describe what he was talking about

6/10/2007 10:52:47 PM

im going to go ahead and disregard your comment

6/10/2007 10:53:42 PM

fair enough

6/10/2007 10:54:33 PM

^^Sorry...would "chocolate cake" be good enough for you?

Cause it sounds fucking boring to me. The adjectives i used were to describe the particular components, and are the actual fucking names of said components.

"flourless chocolate cake" - A cake with a very small percentage of flour giving it a much more dense, heavy and rich taste and texture than a typical chocolate cake.

"rum-chocolate italian butter cream" - Italian buttercream is a specific type of buttercream made with italian meringue. Chocolate and rum were used to flavor it.

"silky dark chocolate ganache" I used a darker, higher percentage cacao chocolate than typical and added butter and cornsyrup to give it the "silky" sheen and texture. The actual name of the recipe i used was silky ganache deluxe....i left off the deluxe because that would be pompous .

In fact, my original description is probably pretty damn close, if not exactly, how it would be worded if seen on a menu.

6/30/2007 3:31:28 AM

We'll see how this turns out. I have no idea, but even if it's not up to my standards, my bf will eat it.

I've marinated chicken in lemon juice with pepper, and laid the breasts on top of a sprig of rosemary each, with basil, sage, and a couple mint leaves (all those plants needed cutting back, hence the combination) to finish marinating. turned them once, and put a few splashes of worchestshire sauce on each breast.

We'll grill corn, and I've got some carrot and onion packets with salt, pepper, EVOO, and some rosemary and basil to throw on the grill too.

I've sugared up strawberries to put on angel food cake with fresh whipped cream <3 for dessert. For him. The raspberries are all mine
