successful korova cookies!



whee =) pierre herme is a genius yet again! these turned out nice and crumbly and bitter (bitter with dark chocolate chips and cocoa... not burnt!) =) im very happy for this first attempt haha. although i was supposed to catch a hint of sea salt, but i cldnt taste that out. perhaps i put too little of my wonderful carmargue fleur de sel. but no matter, shall perfect it the next time. right now, it just tastes of decadent chocolatey goodness. and i shall be bringing a box of these out with me to town today, so lucky lawrence and lynn will get to try them =P my guinea pigs HAHA.

note: fleur de sel is, literally translated from french - salt flowers. these are sea salt, made from evaporating sea water. so you will get nice flower-like crystals unlike the usual salt we see that have a uniform crystal structure which are the result of a diff process. its "carmargue fleur de sel" because i bought these from the carmargue region of provence. aka the salt was obtained from evaporating sea water from carmargue. haha. some of these fleur de sels come coloured, because of either 1. algae growth which imparts a diff flavour to the salt, or 2. spice mixtures. yeps.

ok better go change to go out now, else my lunch companions will desert me. =P
