I'll stop the world and...fonds avec vous

Yes... I have dusted the cover of that old jacket and brought out my high school French to announce Jen's new dessert, Chocolate Fondant Cake. The dessert was unleashed unto the world two days ago on Wednesday. It's a chocolate fondant cake with pistachio ice cream and cherries on top. By the way, when you read fondant... don't think wedding cake... think more like the French word, fondre, meaning to melt. Mmmmm... The thought of the chocolaty, melty goodness makes my mouth salivate just writing this. Try it out today!

In another note, Google Street View was unveiled recently. Lo and behold, guess what it caught... my old BMW. Check it out here.

Culinary Word of the Day: Fondant
Fondant is a confection used as a filling or coating for cakes, pastries, and candies or sweets. In its simplest form, it is sugar and water cooked to a point, specifically soft-ball stage, cooled slightly, and stirred or beaten until it is an opaque mass of creamy consistency. The word fondant comes from the Old French fondre and Latin fundere, meaning "to melt." -Source Wikipedia
