We went to the French equivalent of a Crate and Barrel today, and it was divine. I bought a Christmas ornament shaped like a cupcake and some other things to be distributed as gifts during the holiday season. I'm probably the most annoying customer ever in places like this. A collection of mostly impractical things ends up in the basket, among which are items like fragile glass mushrooms and a giant ceramic teapot, neither of which travel well. Before getting to the checkout, I inevitably have second thoughts, forget where I got the things from, and leave them scattered haphazardly throughout the store. Oh well. I figure I've still got karma left over from putting away merchandise abandoned at the Menards checkouts.
Anyway, I now wish to share with you the French idea of a chocolate chip cookie:
That is not a cookie. That is a scone.
But whatever. This evening for dinner, I decided to make dessert. Mini donuts again! The last ones turned out a little odd-- salty for no discernible reason and rather porous. The ones tonight turned out delightfully. Dense, moist, and beautiful.
For these I made a honey infused sugar glaze.
And these I topped with chocolate and cinnamon, to make them a little more autumn appropriate. Though there were only five of us at table, all the donuts were devoured during tea time, but for a single sugar glaze one which everyone was too polite to take.
Tomorrow I will make one last American dinner for Edith and Nico. I'm thinking meatloaf or deep dish pizza, but it depends on what I can fricking find at the grocery store.
