Tired
Wow, I am so exhausted. Saturday night, we cooked for about 2 hours, doing prep for Sunday dinner. Seppo cooked the créme anglaise and chocolate mousse for my dish (ÃŽle Flottante), while I worked on the meringue. Wait, is that all I did for two hours? Hmm. Oh wait, I also made the chive oil for Colin and Jess’s dish, and Seppo made the mint oil for my dish.
On Sunday, I made the chocolate wafers for the dessert, which was a relatively quick affair, and did some last minute shopping for missing ingredients. All I needed to do after that was make the cheese puffs (which is purposely a last-minute deal, as they should be served straight out of the oven) and assemble my dessert.
It doesn’t sound like a lot of work, but I was exhauted then and I am exhausted now. The details of the party are at the foodblog. It was a great time with great friends. I love that we have more pictures this time around! 🙂
I slept like a log last night.
