Custard's a bastard...

A lot of things can go wrong when you make custards. The two types we made today were creme caramel and pots au creme.
They were served with cigarettes russes - those rolled up thin cookies.
Like I said, a lot can go wrong - but thank god it didn't.
The stuff came out quite good and my love for pastry was somewhat rekindled.

More important than anything else though was the fact that the "family feud" has somewhat subsided and everybody was feeling the love again.
We also had another wine tasting tonight, chef introduced us to a 2003 Peuilly Fuisse (don't know if I spelled it correctly). It was a beautiful burgundy white, very fruity, medium bodied with a high acidity.
At least that's what he told us. It did taste good.

All in all a good class...Makes all the difference in the world!
