Ganache Gone Wrong


I get credit for trying, right?

It consists of one part heavy cream, heated to almost boiling, and one part chocolate chips.

Pour the cream over the chips, stir till melted, pour over the cooled cake.

That's what I did.

And this is what I got:



It (the ganache, haven't eaten the cake yet) tastes great.  How could it not?

But it looks wrong.

I will not be a contestant on the Great American Baking Show should anyone here decide to make an American version of the British Show.

Yummmmm.....


Thanks to the Pioneer Woman's website, I have just made what I am sure will be a delicious rhubarb cobbler. When I was at the store yesterday I came across some rhubarb and thought---Aha! Time for cobbler. I love rhubarb; my husband does not. He is out of town and I've made it all for meeee. Not that I would have to fight him for it. I called older daughter to check and see if she thought that a fruit cobbler would be appropriate for a breakfast meal and she said yes. (I know how to stack the deck.) Really, it's fruit; it's carbs; it's sugar; it's protein (one egg); what more do I need but coffee?

My parents grew rhubarb and it just occurred to me that I could do the same, but why deprive farmers of their income, I say. So I'll buy it and cook it and eat it and do my part for the economy.

I'm a saint.
