Gratitude journal

[estaratshirai]

For yesterday I am grateful for OMG NAPOLEON (the insanely rich dessert, not the Frenchman) and friends making them and lending me stuff and helping and all.

For today I'm grateful for the chance to see friends I hadn't seen in a while in a happy context (bridal shower).

Wich kind of Napoleon?

[estaratshirai]

Uh, the only kind I've ever had. XD Nine million layers of alternating thin pastry and cheesy filling. With much sugar in, and vanilla.

there are apperntly ones with choclate or strawberries, according to google.
sounds super nummy

Is pretty awesome, yes. :D pupgrrl makes them from a family recipe, which is for vanilla, but now that she's made it several times she's thinking of working up a chocolate version.

If you want it I've got a Napoleon recipe that's MUCH less decadent but still fairly tasty. Low sugar and low fat version, with variations for TONS of flavors including mocha, vanilla, hawaiian, and bannan split. They're a bit of effort but not too bad for a desert you don't have to regret indulging in.

The same book has a recipe for a fruit Clafouti that I make frequently. Under 130 calories and my husband will eat it.

Recipe whore, much? *scoffs* Nah! *watches you try to not scramble for the recipe card, sotto voce* Uh huh, thought so, heh.
