Again I’ve turned to cooking for my things of the day. For dinner, we made pepper crusted fillet minion with horseradish sauce (just horseradish mixed with sour cream), mashed potatoes, and asparagus with lemon and parmesan. It sounds so extravagant to say I ate fillet minion, but considering I only eat steak about twice a year, I don’t feel so bourgeois. For dessert, chocolate pudding from Smitten Kitchen! I seriously seriously love Deb and these recipes. Here’s how it looked:

As for how it tasted, you should really make it yourself, it’s delicious!

Also, the site went down for whatever while I was writing this.  I actually made this on Feb 14.  The site is so slow now I hardly ever want to look at it.  My computer freezes up when I do.  Oh but I should just keep my bad attitude to myself.

For day 9, I wrote a letter.

For day 10, I made chocolate pudding from scratch. I followed Mark Bittman’s recipe from his book How to Cook Everything. It was as easy as making the instant kind, like everyone says. And it turned out delicious, at least in its warm state. It’s chilling in the fridge now. The best part is “cleaning” the pot afterwards.

I doodled yesterday but didn’t like any of them enough to take pictures. Instead, I’m posting photos of the other thing I did: made pudding from scratch! I’ve been meaning to do that for a couple of years and finally got around to it.

And it came out great.
