Last week Owner instigated a new set of challenges for me to complete. i do all the cooking at home but Owner expects to see me extend my repertoire. Accordingly, She has created a set of cards, each of which contains a dish She would like me to prepare. After i have made the item stated on the card to Her satisfaction i am to pick another card, then when i have prepared that, pick another card...and so on.
The first card draw was last week and the card i picked stated that i was to make creme brulée. i have never actually attempted these (we didn't even own any ramekins to make them in). Anyway, this morning i made the custard and cooked it in a bain-marie, then after a day spent chilling in the fridge this evening i added the caramelised sugar glaze and served. Et voila (incidentally, if you want the recipe it is here)
Owner declared Herself to be very happy with the result. Accordingly, i have taken a new card, which says that i am to make home made, gluten free gnocchi. Again, this is something i have never tried to make before. Meanwhile, tomorrow i will be serving Owner prawns and asparagus in a white wine sauce - i hope She likes!
Oh, and the other thing that happened was Owner tried out Her new wooden paddle. It was a comparatively restrained first outing but one that still left my bottom pink and glowing.

Gluten free recipes can be challenging. Hope it goes/went well. :)
It did thanks Vanessa. Owner went gluten-free a good few years ago so i had to adjust all my recipes, especially baking cakes/breads. Got there in the end though :)
