ORGASMIC CHOC MOUSSE...no eggs

I love chocolate mousse, dark chocolate mousse.


Have friends coming for dinner tomorrow but one of them has an utter aversion to eggs. 
So did a bit of research and amongst the really scary recipes suggesting corn or rice flour to 'thicken' I  discovered the most amazing one with just 3 ingredients. 


I have just tested and eaten the whole batch myself so jeans are probably going to explode any minute now!


Egg Free Chocolate Mousse


200g dark chocolate, melted
200ml pouring cream, whipped into soft peaks
½ cup olive oil


Melt chocolate in a bain marie.
When choc is melted whip in olive oil.
Pour choc/olive oil mixture into whipped cream, stirring well to incorporate evenly.
Serve.


ps this can not be made ahead of time as olive oil will congeal in fridge.  
Impress your guests and make just before eating...serve with fresh berries.

    Jemma, glad you tried the choc mousse recipe. It was sourced off a website called Readysteadycook, an excellent site.

PULLING OUT MY HAIR, again!

What makes this Desperate Anglo Housewife rant, rave, stomp, pull out her hair...? You guessed it, more bad customer service. Just how hard is it to train shop staff in this country to be polite, respectful, to leave their condescending attitudes at home! End of sales, picture the left over stock, all marked right down to clear.  I walk into a shop in Bordeaux looking for summer trousers. Find a couple of quite ordinary ones, good for work, marked down by 70%...this was not haute couture. I'm talking BASIC pants! Roll up to checkout... Shopgirl ( herein, SG)," We have some lovely little summer tops that would go with these ." Moi, " No thanks" (smile politely) SG, " There's some great shirts that would match too " Moi, " No thanks " ( smile slightly) SG , "Do you need some blazers? Accessories...?" Moi, " No thanks " ( smile dissipates....) 10 second pause. SG, " You are just so

OLYMPIC SOB

As the Olympics draw to their end,  this DesperateAngloHousewife is wondering where her next wee buzz will be coming from.... I know I should be having a good old rant about sportsmanship, international cooperation and team spirit but instead I am going to be completely honest. ...All those bodies beautiful! Am I the only 40-something who has been blowing bubbles into her Chardonnay during the  men's diving?  Was I the only creature on the planet who was reaching for the smelling salts as the men swimmers came out announced and pranced across to their starting block whilst unzipping their sweatshirts to reveal not just the most heavenly of six packs but also shoulders to  weep over? Of course one can wax lyric over the grace of the pole vaulting, the panther speed of Mr Bolt, the incredible concentration of the archers, the tenacity of the walkers... Did anyone else notice the female athletes, their tone and all of that in their " undies?" I did have a momen

THE GRACIOUS ART OF MEDITATION

How relaxed are you..? My year has started off with a couple of explosions.  The kind of explosions which create major stress and inner anguish. I won't bore you with the details...suffice to say that I have turned to my iPad for support. I love my iPad. Not usually a gadget oriented gal, this wee beauty and I have become inseparable.  The iPhone has NOTHING on it..to start, now that I am 40-something I need to get out my glasses everytime I use my iPhone or stretch my arms as long as possible and squint to read those all-important texts from girlfriends.. meet you at wine bar at 6pm...anyone for a gin and tonic...Spanks on sale at underwear lady down Cour Clemenceau. .. Even though the iPhone has all the "apps," the "style-plus" ingredient etc etc it just doesn't measure up. I love the way the iPad gets called " a tablet"...so ROMAN! Imagine myself in floaty toga with elaborate hair, down at the local forum..although I would pro
