Plated and Elated

Do you know what I had for breakfast this morning?


Why that would be raspberry mousse with creme anglais, raspberry coulis, and tuile cookies.

It was technically my first plating (and it seemed like such a shame to waste it, so it ended up in my belly).


It's not amazing, but it's not entirely terrible.  And, though I knew it was coming, when faced with the blank plate, I froze.  Completely and totally.  Deer trapped in headlights had nothing on me at that moment.  I'm not even sure what I was going for, because I panicked and tossed it on the plate.  (You should have seen what I scrubbed off.)


I'm sure in a few weeks I will be mortified by this amateur effort.  As for now, I can attest it was delicious.
