Today I reached a milestone...I now have under 100 recipes to make...I feel like I'm on a big countdown. It's like I'm half way up Mount Olymus and I can actually see the peak at the top. I'm pretty freakin' pumped about this. I still haven't made 100 recipes..but having over 100 to make felt like a weight on my chest...this feels so much more managable. The truth is I have many ideas what to do with this blog once I'm finished this first project but I have to finish this before I start that..and so I'm beginning to feel as though the end is in sight.
Now the clafoutis, I was 100% set to make this recipe and was pulling ingredients left right and centre when I pulled the milk I discovered we had a pitiful amount left. Immediately I regretted my bowl of cheerios for breakfast, shoulda had the yogurt...No what was I to do without enough milk??? I'd put my PJs on as soon as I got home and didn't really wanna get dressed again...was too lazy to go to the store. But I did have some rice milk. So I wondered..can you replace dairy milk with rice milk when making a custard type dessert???? I googled it, and found enough confidence on line to give it a whirl.
The custard turned out pretty good. I wasn't sure how much I liked it when I ate my piece. So I decided, strictly for research, I'd have to have a second. After my second piece I still didn't know what to think. This clafoutis is perfectly enjoyable..but I can't really think the perfect occasion to serve it. To me this isn't really a show stopping dessert. hmmm I guess this is just the kind of treat to make for yourself. Something to make your Sunday cuppa a little more special perhaps. Or maybe something to serve for a very casual type of afternoon entertaining.
This recipe isn't glorious except in the fact that I'm that much closer to reaching my goal. But perhaps it can make a Sunday afternoon a little more glorious for you.
