April 14th

So sorry I forgot to blog 3 days in a row!
I'm making Petits Fours :)
For next week, I have to find a french dinner recipe for cooking class. I'll be the teacher, which is something I have been scared of and still am. Cooking teacher. I can barely get water to boil, haha. Baking is waay more fun, I think. But ya gotta feed 'em!
As I reasearched recipes, I found Petits Fours and though I know that we can't make them for desert on Monday, because they have to rest for 24hours, I still wanted to knock myself out on pralinés. So, I did. I grocery-shopped marzipan and marmelade and just finished the first round! They'll be 6 stories high and covered in white chocolate. Are you jealous yet, invisible non-existant reader of my blog? haha
I know I'd be.
Anyway, I think I started them off completely wrong. The recipe called for 10 minutes at 210°C in the oven... I pre-heated the oven to 210, but turned it down to 150 once I put the dough in... and after 10 minutes, it still looke raw... So, I ended up baking the dough for 20-25minutes and it turned crisp, like a cracker! Aaaaaaaaaargh! We'll see how they turn out tomorrow night when I finish them. I'M SOO EXCITED!!!

As for the last 3 days, I don't even know where they went. I didn't even get to watch prison break, that's how busy I was. Busy working, eating and sleeping. Sorry... not that anyone cares, haha.

Oh, and on Monday, we'll make 2 vegetable-Quichés and Crepés with Camembért-filling for desert. Yes, everything with an "é" hahahaha!!!
