Need a rain check


I've had a bad head ache since last night so I won't be doing a video today, but I have the day off on Sunday and Monday so one of those days I will post it up.  Here are some pictures if our dinner a few night ago to make up for it. It was my first attempt at potatoes fondant, and we had some sweet BBQ chicken meatballs with it and a simple salad. Then I made a sort of strawberry tart thing, using some almonds and cookies for the crust, sliced strawberries In the middle, and a topping of "whipped cream", which is actually whipped coconut cream with sugar and vanilla. After a few fails with the coconut, I found out I have to almost freeze the can of coconut milk to get the fatty cream to separate and thicken enough to use. It isn't as stable as traditional whipped cream and needs to be eaten cold, but it tastes fine and helps with dessert cravings. Unfortunately, my photography skills are still less than stellar. My Dad teaches photography in high school, but nothing has rubbed off on me as of yet.  Oh well.  
Have a good night!
Love, 
Emi
