I had a successful morning. I managed to make a non-dairy, gluten-free chocolate mousse to bribe the children with. It was absolutely scrumptious.
The recipe came from the book 'French Women Don't Get Fat' which is making me realise how much standing up snacking I do. A good eating principle the author suggests is to only ever eat sitting down.
Here's how you do it.
Melt 125 grams of really good quality dark chocolate. Mix in 3 egg yolks and 1 tbsp of sugar. Beat 5 egg whites to form stiff shiny peaks and fold in the chocolate mix. Refrigerate overnight.
It's impossible to eat too much because it's just so rich!
Oh, and if you're wondering about the health kick - yes, I'm still on it. Turns out dark chocolate is very nutritious (in reasonable amounts obviously), eggs are a great source of protein and I use pure fructose in place of sugar. It works the same but it's easier to digest.

thanks for the recipe! my mum is a coeliac, so I might use this for her!
I'm in a commenting mood tonight - or I am procrastinating.
First of all, yum!
Second of all, thanks for asking us those questions last Wednesday night, I've been thinking about them ever since. And everytime I do, I contradict my previous thoughts and conclusions - its annoying but mind-expanding at the same time.
Third of all, thanks for having us over - and I'm glad you guys came in the day too, kids are great fun!
Fourth and finally, the Chaser is on tomorrow night, don't forget!
Have a good one! :)
Thanks for the comments. No worries with the questions Jess. I usually end up asking unanswerable questions (if y'all want to know - what is friendship? how do you know someone is a friend? how do you make friends?) It's all fun fun fun.
Go the chaser. I have not forgotten!
I can't believe it, i have been reading these comments and thought, ahh i have to watch the Chaser this week on actuall TV instead of just downloading the podcasts which sometimes have been missing bits (not always) but i forgot tonight!!!!!!!!!! Again!!!!!!! It is a great show !!!!!!!
