Wednesday, June 8, 2011

errand day.

I really liked my outfit yesterday. It looked like this.

I've been wearing jeans pretty much everyday because of trips to the job site. Shoes like these make it easy to change into my "construction flats" that I wear there. It was so hot today so the jacket dressed up the outfit but left unbuttoned so I could breath.

Nutella + Panna Cotta; Could it be?!

Found this recipe over on lululu at home and had to share.

Ingredients (serves 8):
1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
3 tablespoons cold water
1 cup Nutella
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup almond slices or chocolate chips to garnish

Directions:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gelatin and 3 tablespoons cold water.
Put the Nutella and salt in another medium bowl and set aside.
In a saucepan, bring the cream and vanilla to a boil. Pour 1/3 of the hot cream mixture over the gelatin and whisk it well.
Then pour the gelatin mixture back into the remaining cream.
Pour about 1/3 of the cream mixture over the Nutella. Whisk well to form a smooth paste. Add the remaining cream mixture and whisk well to combine.
Whisk in the milk.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a big measurement cup, then divide it among eight ramekins, glasses or cups. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.

Garnish with almond slices or chocolate chips.
