smoked fish, fresh broccoli, mashed potato and a tomato, mozzarella and basil salad...
followed by swirly swirly chocolate and cream that turns into...
perfectly creamy (but not quite so swirly) mocha fudge;
followed by the knowledge that tomorrow is a public holiday. (And the repression of all thoughts to do with the talk I have to give on Tuesday.)
Fudge recipe below the fold.
1 cup cream
2 cups sugar
2 Tb corn syrup
150 g chocolate (we used milk, but next time I think I'll go for dark)
coffee essence, or 2 tsp of instant coffee powder, dissolved in a little hot water
Stick it all in a pan, melt it all slowly, then bring to the boil until it reaches that soft ball stage.
Add 25 g butter (just in case the above ingredients don't contain enough fat already) and 1 tsp vanilla essence. Beat the crap out of it while standing the saucepan in a sink of cold water.
Pour into tin and leave to set.

wow, a nice recipe that contains corn syrup? I may have to try it to use up the whole bottle I mistakenly bought soon after arriving in the US.
Do you have fun plans for the public holiday, or can you join the blogger IM party (10am-12pm)?
Oops. I was asleep. (10 am my time?)
Let's go check.
IM me, anyway, I'm still online (alwayslistentoyourpig_puppet)
I'll try! I have to work out what to do first (I'm an IM virgin). I have to download something, right?
Oh, that is some good looking food. I'm suddenly hungry. And i really, really want fudge.
oh, and good to see you at the IM party! :)
Yeah, it was lots of fun!
I want to go back there.
Mostly I want to go crack some more linguistics jokes with Wolfa.
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
