October is a lovely month

AGGIE'S  GARDEN  AND  CHOCOLATE  SAUCE

Today I had lunch with my friend Aggie, she is a wonderful gardener and also an artist.  Aggie's

garden is truly a haven of peace and tranquillity, birds, bees and butterflies are there and the most beautiful selection of geraniums.  I love her garden, here is a picture of a plant I gave her many years ago, so beautiful.

 

How I wish you could feel the beauty of her garden, here is another picture.

 

 

 

Today was really a beautiful day, delicious lunch and for dessert Aggie served ice-cream and chocolate sauce.  What impressed me was the chocolate sauce, easy, economical and delicious.  Here is the recipe.

 

AGGIE'S CHOCOLATE SAUCE

 

250ml (1 cup) sugar

125ml (1/2 cup) water

45ml (3 tbs) cocoa

pinch of cream of tartar

15ml (1 tbs) butter or margarine

 

Simple to make, place the sugar, water and cocoa in a heat resistant bowl and microwave on 100% (high) power, three to four minutes, stir frequently.  Add the pinch of cream of tartar and the butter beat until smooth and creamy.  Walla!  ready to serves.

 

Aggie said this chocolate sauce keeps very well in the refrigerator, for larger quantity just double up the ingredients.  Now what could be simplier?  I have not tested the recipe but I am thinking of adding a few variations, let's see what happens in my kitchen tomorrow.  Will show you the pics!
