Sour Particles

First place brave enough to attempt to make one. They used rum instead of cachaca though, its a good drink, but sadly not as great as a real caiprinhia. The sugar cane garnish is a great touch to make up for the lack of authenticity in regards to the main ingredient. The rest of the U.S. should learn from Vegas.

Regularly priced at over two dollars, who could turn down cookies at a price like this!

While I wait for an hour for the creme brulee in the oven, I might as well pig out on this awesome little chocolate rabbit. Next up is sugar cookies. Maybe after the rabbit I will have a sandwich. I only wish this bunny thing was solid because at the moment its about 75% gone.

Cut a lime into 8 pieces. Pour some good sugar, I like Sugar in the Raw Brand (Turbinado) in the glass with the lime and crush. Add 1.5 ounces of cachaca (Distilled cane sugar from Brazil, not run of the mill Rum) and some crushed ice. Drink through a straw.

I was happy to to just have the souffle rise up in the oven. Even if it just made it that far along, I would have been proud of it. I made it with: butter, cream cheese, chocolate, cream, eggs, Grand Marnier, sugar and water. It didn't taste too bad to me, and people said it actually tasted good. But, you never know if they just bit the bullet and ate it even though it tasted atrocious. At any rate I don't think souffles are my thing, at least to eat, but they are fun to make. Oh, Christmas was fun, wet but fun.
