Need ideas please...

Thanks so much for your good wishes and help!

btw do you know of a good Itallian butcher for sausage? I'm not crazy about the sausage from Whole Foods.

 
Thank you again

I'm sure he knows about it, (probably where he gets his cheese) but it doesn't look like they have any fresh sausage. Oh well

 
Suz, sorry this is so late: REC: Chocolate Pots of Cream

This is the way to make 5 chocolate pots of cream. To make 30 you will have to multiply the ingredients by six and repeat the process six times. Luckily, it doesn't take long. (part of a buffet dinner for 30)

6 oz semisweet chocolate (bits or chopped well)
2 oz bittersweet chocolate (chopped well)
dash of salt
1 cup of light cream, plus 2 Tbl of whole milk
4 egg yolks (large eggs)

In an electric blender, place the chocolates and the dash of salt. Heat the cream and milk to almost boiling, then pour over the chocolate and run the blender until the racket has stopped and all is smooth and creamy. Finally, add the 4 egg yolks and run another 30 seconds.

Pour into the traditional pots for this dessert and place them in the icebox to set, but be sure to take them out for an hour before serving.

Suz, these are really easy and really rich and wonderful. When they say light cream, it means half and half. I tried making it with whole cream and it was like chocolate butter. might be interesting for another recipe though! We put them into 1/2 cup custard cups.

 
Printed saved! Much thanks

my bf will love these. Thanks for the warning on the cream as I would have used heavy cream! We keep half and half in the house for his coffee.
