Weighing in at 8.5 lbs the chocolate cake is exactly that… chocolate. I haven’t tasted it yet but I imagine that it’s gonna be a super rich treat. I’m thinking I should buy some vanilla bean ice cream to balance out the intense bittersweet chocolate & chocolate ganache. AND, the recipe didn’t tell me to put the cake on a large plate because the ganache would ooze everywhere! Thankfully it didn’t spill off the plate but the cake is surrounded by a moat of chocolaty goodness.

November 9, 2009Back home in Reedley… I thought I’d start my day off right. After a walk around the park I made some oatmeal and added cinnamon and sliced apples to it. Having recently finished reading Julia Child’s biography, My Life in Paris, I made sure to go by her recommendations about recipes. To follow them exactly without cutting corners so that the food tastes as it should. Well, my oatmeal was a bit too watery. Eh. I tried the recipe for it once and now I won’t ever make it that way again. I’ll make it how I like it, not watery.
Anyhow, here’s my breakfast on this cold Fall morning in Reedley… oatmeal with a pipping hot cup of tea.
