The joke's not on me!!!

It is warm again and I am tired, I slept till after 9 am so there was no walk for the Labradors. I went to Karen’s and we watched 2 episodes of Babylon 5 and she made nachos. While we were picking up her holiday photos I rang her house so she could at least have someone leave a message on her new answering machine. It is all digital now, so there is no little tape for the CSI people to analyse. Answering machines are cheap now, only $35. I could have one, but I don’t think I will. Last night I caught up on 2 episodes of Enterprise. On the sci-fi blog they say it is being picked up by the Sci-Fi channel but I am taking everything with a pinch of salt as it was still yesterday there, and April Fool’s Day. As is the Googlegulp too : www.google.co.nz/googlegulp
I am making another ice-cream dessert today to take to Di and Mark’s for tea.
Choc Mousse Ice-cream with frosted topping
60 g unsalted butter
185 g good dark chocolate
3 eggs, separated
55 g caster sugar
125 ml cream stiffly whipped
Topping
125 ml cream stiffly whipped
55 g icing sugar
4 almond macaroons ( amaretti)
½ tspn vanilla extract
Line a 20 cm round tin or a small loaf tin.
Melt butter and chocolate gently, then stir in yolks one at a time. Beat whites till stiff peaks form then gradually add caster sugar. Beat till sugar is dissolved. Fold cream into egg whites and then this mixture into the chocolate one. Spoon into tin and freeze for 60 minutes.
To make topping, mix cream and icing sugar, crumbled amaretti and vanilla. Spoon over chocolate layer and cover and freeze overnight. Cut with a warm knife and serve with berries and chocolate shavings ( or a Flake!!!)
