[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 204027, member: 1991"] Lunch on Sunday went well. I had offered to make dessert - I baked a chocolate pudding and made some chocolate custard pots as well, in case one or the other was a failure. I took ingredients to help finish off bits - I made the pouring sauce for the pudding while I left it for the boys to slice up - I should have supervised, the slices were far too big! Then I served up the chocolate pots - yumm! I had a full helping of each, feeling very decadent. husband & I were both feeling as full as ticks afterwards, no room for much dinner. We had a wonderful, relaxed and happy afternoon, with friends. difficult child 3 played happily with the daughter of the house, a very bright 10 year old. They are very good friends who understand one another well. From a dietary point of view, although I broke my diet for the day I didn't do too badly. Apart from the slab of pudding, the chocolate pots were tiny. They're supposed to be served in coffee cups, so I found some small demi-tasse cups to set the puddings in. I put those onto their matching saucers, each with a strawberry fan on it. A gas-charged cream whipper made a swirl of whipped cream on top really easy, so the assembly looked like a small cappuccino for each of us. But the demi-tasse meant that each serve was small. A good thing, too - it was really rich. An easy recipe - I nicked it from an episode of Oprah but I've played with it a bit more to improve it. I've been watching the sales since, for signs of 'damage' - but no worries. No weight gain from it. So last night - I made chocolate pots again. They're still in the fridge, I did have a tiny serve tonight from the little bit left over after I filled six little cups last night. This one seemed to set even firmer (don't know why). So I'm thinking of inviting mother in law to dinner tomorrow night, even though it's not a special occasion or anything. As long as I get home early enough tomorrow to put a roast chook on, then we can have a lovely dinner which is still OK for my diet. A tiny amount of chocolate pot for dessert will be perfectly OK. No guilt, because I have planned for it. That makes it even more enjoyable! Anyone wanting the recipe - say the word! Marg [/QUOTE]
