Birthday...
Sep. 24th, 2008 02:33 pmI love birthdays.
E-mails and phone calls and messages from friends. I turned my back on my desk for a few minutes, and a chocolate bar magically appeared on my chair. I like that kind of apportation. It's a beautiful day, too: I went for a walk at lunch. A walk! Not moving quickly, but ... moving.
Does anyone know of a restaurant in Ottawa where one can order créme brulèe? Besides Carmello's?
My cold is fading. I wish I could say it was all gone. Well, soon. Those obnoxious coughing fits are fewer all the time.

Date: 2008-09-24 10:46 pm (UTC)I asked a friend of mine -- a restaurant cook, working on his professional chef accreditation -- about the créme brulèe. (He prepared it for folks he invited to a dinner party, about a year ago.) He told me that most good restaurants should have it on the menu, and suggested that since many restaurants now have their menus on line, you might be able to find restaurants just by searching the net.

Date: 2008-09-24 11:38 pm (UTC)I think I like it both ways. (Hmm, funny how often that is my answer to numerous questions.) I would have to sample many examples of both to be sure. I think I like it best when the custard part is really soft and smooth and creamy and not to sweet.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.
