Spicy

 


I put enough curry paste in this Thai inspired dish that it was too spicy for three of the six hungry participants last Wednesday evening.

Point aux Barques Lighthouse

 

We took a whole crew to Point aux Barques last week. After traipsing around the lighthouse park, we made our way to the Big Boy in Bad Axe and then followed up with a visit to Country View Bulk Food store, which has been described as Mennonite Costco.

Raspberry Mousse

 I made raspberry mousse for Christmas Eve. 

According to the recipe, it's easy and only takes 10 minutes prep and 5 minutes of cooking for a total of 1 hour and fifteen minutes. 

The recipe fails to mention that it will take half a dishwasher load of dishes and two small appliances. Nevertheless, for a special occasion, it is worth the effort (though it did take me considerably longer than the recipe claimed).  


I started by cooking the frozen raspberries, sugar and water.

  • sauce pan
  • wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
Then I blended the raspberries until they were smooth and removed the seeds.
  • blender
  • sieve
  • large bowl

Meanwhile I softened the gelatin.
  • cereal bowl
  • teaspoon


I combine the raspberry mixture with the gelatin and cooked it.
  • wisk
  • the same saucepan (rinsed to remove any lingering seeds)

Once the raspberry gelatin mixture was cooled, I whipped the cream.
  • stand mixer with bowl and beater
  • measuring cup



I gently folded the raspberry gelatin mixture in the whipped cream.
  • the same large bowl (rinsed)
  • spatula

The raspberry mousse is ready!
  • individual serving bowls
  • spoon
