Recipe Testing!

Dennis and I did some recipe testing tonight, trying out our ideas for fish cakes, seafood stew and "pots de creme" (pronounced po du krem in French), or as I like to call them, chocolate pots of cream! :-) Maybe pots of chocolate cream would be more accurate... At any rate, I haven't tasted the dessert yet- they get baked in the oven for a while, then need to cool and be chilled since they're served cold, so I'm just banking on the fact that Dennis has saved me a pot or two. Cross your fingers!
