after a rather long old time of it at work and a brain full of annoying life decisions to be made, I felt I had rather been neglecting my quest for culinary excellence...and especially after going to
this scrumptious restaurant for my mum's birthday, and buying the below pot with special bonus money from work, I had to get out of my funk.
not that I have not been a'cookin..I've had cakes and pie coming out of my ears, but this has meant my dinners have been not so elaborate. This changed tonight. ok, that is a bit of a lie, I made chicken kievs on wednesday, but that doesn't count compared to this...
Slow cooked lamb shanks in red wine, served with sweet potato mash, roasted parsnips and flagolet beans...
this in itself, I do have to say, was YUM! though I do think this is in part due to my new shiny le creuset dish which is not allowed to be put away for at least a month.
but what this blog is really about is the sweet things, and this leads me to dessert...now my mum, for whom this dinner was cooked, is just a little bit fond of white chocolate so I went a little nuts on the white choc front...
