Oh boy, oh boy a few days off

Well I made it passed thursday. I don't have to go back to physio. Just exercise my heal. M's teacher got changed, too bad I wanted her to have Maureen but the other one should be just as good. M and I went out for Wings at Earl's. I like the new location in the Bay Mall, except that parking is a bitch. I like wings though, then we had chocolate mouse. I decided that I should make some, so this weekend I am going to make some.

Here is the recipe:
Decadent Chocolate Mousse recipe.
(it has to be decadent, anything around here using chocolate is called decadent)
For a decent quantity, you need:

200-250g (1/2 lb.) of dark chocolate (Belgian of course)
4 eggs
4/10 litres of whipping cream (that's 400 ml, just shy of a pint)
4 teaspoons of sugar
and you don t absolutely need it, but it adds something to the taste:

2 coffeespoons of instant coffee
Mix the yolks and the sugar in the bowl you want your mousse to end in.

The order of the rest depends on whether you use a double boiler or not.
If you use a double boiler:

Melt the chocolate in the double boiler, making sure the water never gets to boil. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff. Beat the whipping cream in a separate bowl.

If you don t use a double boiler:

Start by raising the egg whites and the whipping cream (separately). Then, melt the chocolate directly in a pan, but make sure it never burns. To help you, use a bit of extra whipping cream.

Add the melted chocolate to the yolks-sugar mix. Try to get them to mix as much as you can. Before the chocolate cools down completely, pour some whipping cream into the mix and stir with a wooden spoon. Then fold some egg whites into your mix. And so on. It is very important that you alternate, and be really gentle all along that process.
Let stand in the fridge for at least 1 hour. That's it!

It was a busy but good day. AVS and I met with the marketing dept in the AM. It was a good meeting and kind of delightful to talk about marketing. Especially since they were leading to the points that I was trying to make last spring when we started the project. All the DP's are in and running except for a few. But we are still ahead of the game.
