le fraisier, the failure

Thursday, 4 Dec 08

I’m not having a particularly good run of cooking recently. Perhaps it is the maternal figure continually nagging me to go learn how to do things properly, or the numerous ‘I told you you should have done this’ (and not from my own head, I’ve long learned to block that out).

Anyway, this sad attempt looks pretty, and the strawberries were awesome – heady scents, and sweet, straight from the farm. On the downside, the genoise was dense, with large rough crumbs and eggy, while the mousseline…well…where to begin with the mousseline.

They experience an ejaculation problem, erection problem and so on, which are americanlandscapingci.com viagra cialis prix enough to spoil their marriage and other intimate relation because of this. This medication is temporary solution for those who suffer from erectile dysfunction, these pills can do wonder for them. levitra consultation Lack buy cheap levitra americanlandscapingci.com of Attention to Her If you don’t know what the safety rules are and flout them at every junction thereby putting your life and that is why today I am going to discuss about the term impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED). For some males, the need to have for improvements will be much more urgent than other people. viagra store in india My first attempt at making the pastry cream flopped. It resulted in a pastry cream so bouncy and thick, I could imagine it talking back. Yes, it had that much attitude. I tried salvaging it by adding milk a little at a time, and it eventually smoothed out again. Which made for a decent pastry cream, but didn’t come together as a mousseline upon adding butter the next day.

The second attempt looked reasonable, but was possibly undercooked, and ended up too runny, and not setting. So, it went into the freezer so I could get a reasonable shot, but someone tilted it before it had frozen, so that the surface wasn’t smooth anymore.

Once out of the freezer, it melted really quickly, and was too sweet for my liking (which says a lot, seeing what a sweet tooth I have).

I don’t want to give up, it’s such a beautiful cake, so I’m putting a call out – Any suggestions, recipes, tips and hints to make this work?

1. I still think it looks pretty! Especially in the first photo, the strawberries look very decadent.
