True to the F. family way we celebrate special occasions whenever it's convenient. Since we plan to drive to Northern California on the 24th the 23rd has become Christmas Eve and the 24th will be Christmas morning. So much the better for Sage with one less day to wait.
We're having a special little dinner on Tuesday night: Cheese Fondue and Deep Dark Chocolate Tart (they'll be some greens somewhere in that meal too).
This pie is a favorite around here. No added sugar, whole wheat crust but still delicious and rich as can be.
Deep Dark Chocolate Tart
½ cup whole milk
7 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate (we use 77%)
1 large egg yolk
7.5 ounces crème fraîche (I buy it at Trader Joe's)
1 Whole Wheat Pastry Shell
Lightly whip egg yolk with the crème fraîche and set aside. Bring milk to a boil, stirring continuously. Turn off heat and add chocolate to milk. Stir mixture until chocolate is completely melted. Slowly add egg and crème fraîche mixture to chocolate mixture and stir until thoroughly mixed. Place chocolate mix in pastry shell and place in preheated oven at 325° oven for 25 minutes.
Remove tart from oven and cool to room temperature. Chill in refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.

Lisa, how fun to hear from you! I remember you and Blaine from the reunion way back when. Every now and again Shelly shares one of your crazy/amazing stories with us. Last I heard you were slipping around on the ice in your car :)
