Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The "cream" in Boston Cream Pie is traditionally thickened with cornstarch rather than egg yolks, and so is not technically a custard, depending on how pedantic you want to be.
It is goop, and therefore gag-inducing. But then, I'm a dessert crank, what with the not much liking sugar.
Bread pudding souffle with bourbon sauce at Commander's Palace
With "Congratulations!" written in chocolate sauce, since we were on our honeymoon and I taught JZ the trick of mentioning this fact to the staff of any place in which we ate. New Orleans being lagniappe city, we got all kinds of extras.
Thanks, Betsy! I'm now cutting and pasting those and adding them to my Word folder of recipes. Yum.
Am now very hungry.
Best dessert? I can't choose. Too many.
I was going to work today, but my brain didn't wanna.
I don't know if there is more than one, but the Chicago Melting Pot I went to had really cool dark booths so you were sort of separated from other groups. I think it would be lots of fun with 6+ people.
There's one here in town. And it is fun. I even stole a bottle of their wine & garlic seasoning--it totally kicks ass on steaks on the grill.
I had a really great Bananas Foster in Austin, TX once. The pub down the street makes a stellar bread pudding.
Dessert tonight is an Entemann's donut which is also pretty fucking good.
New York Magazine had an article about a year ago which was basically "Why does every restaurant in the city serve essentially the same menu?" That chocolate cake with the gooey center was one of the "on every menu" dishes mentioned. Still yummy. The place where I first tried it served it over raspberry coulis with hazelnut ice cream.
Ohh, I could never discriminate. All of the other desserts would be upset.
CI, bourbon gelato sounds delightful, but it's not more caloric than ice cream. It contains less fat, so enjoy it with less guilt!
Congratulations to Burrell, her DH and Franny! Welcome to the world, Isaac!
Isn't the answer to that question simple when the food in common is delicious, trendy, and genre appropriate? Because you can...
Apparently it's beneath contempt to order creme brulee. I don't care. I LIKE creme brulee.
