And still no pictures? Has someone got kitchen-phobia?

Been far to busy sorry

 

[the Nefyn cat]

Too busy for cake? Damn, that's busy. Just off out to the kitchen in a minute, feel the urge to knock-up some pastry and fill it with a subtle combination of eggs, sugar and lemons. Should come out like


Small edit. Nearly forgot the cream.

 

[the Nefyn cat]

Didn't take that long, and looks round about right. Just waiting for it to cool down a bit.

Is that a lemon turd tart?

 

[the Nefyn cat]

Turd? Must be a Dutch thing Lemons, sugar, cream, eggs. NO artificial colours or preservatives. Which unfortunately means it'll have to be eaten quite quickly.

Now if that was chocolate I would be putting in an order

So you've not encountered the 4 chocolate tart, then? Starts with chocolate pastry, then a smear of marmalade, followed by a layer of white chocolate, followed by a later of milk chocolate, finished off with a layer of plain chocolate with a splash of Grand Marnier just to stop it getting boring. Looks great when it's sliced, but doesn't last very long. I'm too good to myself.

Now, that sounds the biz ....

@the Nefyn cat, can you bake truffles? I have not eaten a decent one in years ....

 

[BMBabe]

You are making me hungry

 

[the Nefyn cat]

Only one cure for hunger, and it lives in the kitchen. Maybe next week I'll try the 4 chocolate tart again, may start a bit of drooling here and there.

 

[the Nefyn cat]

And no, I've never tried truffles. Might be something to delve around the interweb about. Mostly stick to variations on the stuff I was taught at Rick Steins' place. Best way to learn is from experts, get the basics right and then experiment.

I am useless at this kind of stuff, make a good beer soup though ....

Found something similar, may give it a try soon. Nowt wrong with excessive amounts of chocolate.

With excessive amounts of rum ....

 

[the Nefyn cat]

Whisky and Grand Marnier spring to mind, too. Each to their own.

 

[hard top]

Ooh, Ooh, yes, or scotch and Drambuie aka Rusty Nail ....

 

[the Nefyn cat]

No doubt made with all the new Z3/BMW cookie cutter things. Don't know about anyone else reading this but I feel a certain amount of kitchen-based experimentation coming on.

No way am I cutting my truffle with one of them ....
