ganache and more!

im so glad that today is friday. here's a collage of photos to recap the past couple of days from the chateau de perdue. last night i decided to go out on a limb and try an asian dish. soft summer rolls with shrimp and vegetables and a sesame oil dressing! it was quite delish but the process of gathering all of the ingredients was nothing short of annoying. ellie krieger didn't give specifics...

anyway, tonight my cousin and her kiddies came over and we had a little bit of everything. tilapia filets with a lemon butter sauce. thin pasta with sun dried tomatoe pesto and broccoli. wheat pita with goat cheese, tomatoes, arugula and balsamic vinegar. yum. then to end the meal, double chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache! kpi and i made them last weekend and i can't wait to share them tomorrow at a family gathering! there are so gourmet :)
