Chocolate custard tart



HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Yup, today's my birthday (¡viva!) and following other bloggers' tradition of posting a cake I decided to post the tart I made a month ago ^^U I like to spend my birthday doing nothing so, instead of making myself a bithday cake, I went out to a restaurant with my parents and my boyfriend (poor him! XD).

I made the cake just because I wanted to try the recipe I saw at dailydelicious and well, it's obvious that my tart shell its kinda messy, but the chocolate custard was even worse. It's not that it tasted wrong (it didn't, the tart was delicious), it's only that I should had cooked a bit longer the custard in order to allow it to be thicker because it was too liquid. Anyways it still tasted superb with the strawberries ^^

Ham and cheese ring bread



I made this bread for Friday's dinner, for my parents and me. Even though you may think that it's too much for only 3 people, the truth is that we ate it all. Yes, not a single bit was left as we were VERY hungry (indeed, I was whishing that my mother couldn't eat all of her share, but I wasn't lucky T_T). I used a very thinly sliced ham and, instead of using grated cheddar cheese for the inside and grated gruyère cheese for the outside of the bread, I used Hochland's cheese slices for the filling and the grated emmental that I use for pasta for the topping.

The bread was really delicious, with all that creamy cheese going into my mouth in every bite (yes, I love cheese so I used a lot of slices for the filling ^^). The making of it was not as tiring as of the chorizo rolls, so I'll be going for this one more often than the other (you're allowed to call me lazyass ^^U).

I got the recipe and the kneading intructions from dailydelicious.
