I made some really good food this weekend. I keep saying I'm a really good cook, as long as I have a really good recipe to follow.
Made the chocolate mousse cake. C says I have to post a picture so you guys can check it out. Hopefully I'll remember to do that before it's all gone. There were a couple of hiccups along the way...I don't have an heat proof bowls to do the whole double boiler thing. I know, I was shocked too. I improvised (I almost sent the husband out to buy one) and used my stand mixer bowl. Which sucked because then I had to wash it out to do the mixing part. So let's see, I washed it out 6 times for the entire recipe. But man was it worth it. The other thing that went wrong was that for some reason the first "cake" layer pulled away from the sides of the spring form pan so the second layer settled around the first. Not a huge deal. Especially when it tastes so good.
The second thing I made was baked ziti. I've never loved baked ziti more in my life. I've made it before & it always comes out kind of dry & hard. This version was...well, heaven on a plate. C ate his in about 2 minutes.
The other thing I made was a 'frappuchino' of sorts. Milk, sugar, coffee, ice = yum.
I definitely think I'm 10 pounds heavier after this weekend, but I really don't care.
As for what we did on our Labor Day weekend, we mostly watched movies & tv shows, but we did drive down & watch the Clemson game with my aunt and cous. Nothing fancy, but it was definitely good to get out of town.
Back to the grind. Excited for the weekend!
