Making mistakes in the kitchen, having main courses that don't turn out quite right, slaving away on desserts that flop... it can be super- duper frustrating. I have shed many a tear in the kitchen over my mess-ups. But the more time I spend cooking and baking, the more creative I get in trying to salvage my recipes-gone-wrong.
SO, as I looked at the mousse which looked more like a thick chocolate sauce, I thought that I could just use it as a sauce to put on top of the berries, instead of putting the berries on top of the mousse, as originally planned. This actually made it a little more healthy (not that healthy is what we're going for on Thanksgiving Day) since each serving contains more berries and less chocolate. I will have to go out and buy some more berries though since I will be using more than I planned for. I sprinkled chocolate shavings on top, and this will be now one of our dessert choices. The Chocolate Mousse Sauce is in the fridge, still as saucy as can be, and I will drizzle it over the berries before serving this dessert on Thanksgiving. I figure most people don't turn down chocolate, no matter what it's form! So for now, I guess I should go ahead and eat this bowl of raspberries and Chocolate Mousse Sauce-- just to make sure it tastes ok.
What a nice tangible picture (parable) for the verse "thou hast turned my mourning into dancing". =) Great job.
