Hello everyone. It’s been a while. Hope you’re all well, getting ready for the holidays.
I’ve been busy cooking, welcoming someone new into the family (brother-in-law got engaged Finally!) and … cooking. :)
In between all that I’ve Been drinking old favourites and up until this Black Friday I haven’t bought much “new” tea. This was one of the teas I picked up from Della Terra. Can’t beat their Black Friday prices, really. Assuming you like their teas, of course.
The taste of this to me is identical to DAVIDs “love tea #7” which I quite enjoy. I get the berries and the chocolate all together with black base when the tea is hot. As it cools, not so much base anymore.
Those of you not on my Instagram (which is all of you, really, save for mrmopar and one other), here’s what I’ve been up to.

So great you see you around! And those are incredibly lovely looking desserts. I haven’t tried creme brûlée before but you make me want to. :)
Yum! :D (Now I’m following you!)
Yay, @OMGsrsly! You have some seriously awesome photos, btw.
@fjellrev, thanks! As for brûlée, I make them because people love them. I used to stint as a pastry chef, had to make them by the hundreds. Not my fave dessert to eat by far. When you first try, make sure it’s good. You could end up hating it forever if not made right.
Sadly there is a LOT of bad brûlée out there :(
Thanks! :D
That is exactly why I haven’t touched the stuff yet. I’m sure the same would apply to those other custardy desserts like creme caramel and panna cotta.
Panacotta is more forgiving because you set it with gelatin instead of baking. So you don’t end up with scrambled eggs like you would with an overcooked brûlée. Anyway. Enough from me on the subject. Good luck!
What would you say is the hardest dessert to make?
Gluten free pastry. ;)
Any kind of puff pastry is tricky. Soufflé is another one that can bite you.
i think nxtdoor should just have us all over for a dinner…consisting solely of desserts. giggling
All you can eat creme brûlée? 12 days of … Creme brûlée? (Banana liqueur brûlée, coffee brûlée, sour apple brûlée…)
Mmm… Sounds delicious!
Funny, I was going to ask you about soufflé! I made it once and probably royally screwed it up because it was awful haha.
