Here’s an update on how the meal went.

Overall — quite successful.

I totally messed up the Apricot-pistachio charoset. I thought I knew better than to experiment when using unfamiliar ingredients. Apparently, I don’t. I added more saffron than the recipe called for and that was a HUGE mistake. It was so bad, I couldn’t bring myself to serve it.

The rest of the meal was very good, and got good reviews from my guests.

I didn’t really like the Baklavah and I think the Tiramaztah needed to sit over night to be totally amazing, but the Tiramatzah was definitely tasty! I’ll see if the baklavah improves after an over-night sit.

Oh — and here’s more detail on the Lapsang eggs. Boiling them in the tea had little flavoring effect and just colored them, so we opted to hard boil the eggs and then I shelled them and soaked them in the tea for about 45 minutes to an hour. It turned them a nice brown and gave them a fabulous smokey flavor. The guests really liked them.

Apricot-pistachio charoset? Are you publishing a cookbook soon, I hope?

Ok…with mouth watering I say, “when’s supper?” You gotta admit, I’d make a really good Jew. I can totally do Pesach!

I love the Prophet’s Cup. Took a long look at Miriam last term.

It was great seeing you. Thanks for the restives, I am doing much better, though now my allergies are off the charts. Thanks to Drixoral, I’m really good and high.

Word!

Nice to meet you, Amy! I saw on twitter you are making the matzah baklavah too. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. The tiramatzah was such a find last year I have really high expectations.

I hadn’t thought of that, the tea permeates the shell?
I just finished eating the Brussels Sprouts Casserole from Joy of Our Seasons, it’s yummy.

Oh — we’re going to hard boil the eggs in the tea to give them a smokey flavor and serve them in slices on the salad. Adagio Tea got me into cooking with tea because of their TeaChef site.
