bounty from the kitchen

i tried playing 'so close' on the piano today. it's so hard =( dessert for dinner is fudge brownies with strawberries, topped with white chocolate bailey's custard!
yay i played with the recipe from the american book and cooked the custard (used in the banana cream pie) so that it had white chocolate and bailey's in it!

just imagine cutting into a slice of sludgy brownie and tasting the dark chocolate in it, contrasted by the sweetness (and coldness) of the white chocolate custard (with a hint of bailey's), and the juiciness of the pretty strawberries!

come to think of it, maybe i know more than just how to use an oven now. and now i understand what nigella means by making comfort food, eating comfort food, and feeling like a domestic goddess.
