Cognac and Crostinis~

I LOVE how the web makes this world..A small small world after all~

Monday...

I spoke to a friend:) From Afar~ From the web:)
It was so nice to put voices to emails~It made all the correspondence.. tangibly sweet:)
And I made a delicacy from again AFAR~


I said " Jacques.. these are from Little Teochew.."

Need I say more?:)

I saved the rest of the badigeonnage :) For Sat~Mine are not as deep and amber as LTC's.. my oven crisped the rims.. the middle was perfect.. but not as golden..I will try deeper..but then again..These were just right!!!!!It depends on the browning qualities of your oven:)





The added soupçon of Cognac..makes all the difference..so much so..I added another soupçon:)

Thank you Little One~

  2. It is a small world - I believe in the Six Degrees of Seperation theory. That, and having a bit of this Cognac and Crostini later on today - after my work is done - when I can put my feet up, catch up on Le Husband's day and reflect on all that is good in our lives.
    Cheers!
