3 AM Mess

Wow I did not cook anything interesting this week, someone is stealing my precious blogging time ;-) Today is Easter  Sunday, generally at home we have a massive lunch, with lots and lots of food and then again on Monday! But I haven’t been home in 5 years for Easter and today I am working so no massive lunch for me! But I woke up to a nice surprise, my flat mate just left on the table two Lindt bunnies and few eggs, ok I have already had 3 and I only woke up 5 minutes ago! They all be gone before the portable whiskey distillery that is in my room will get up! Sure he does not need to find out ;-) He does not eat before 5 o’clock anyway ;-) so yesterday I wanted to replicate the chocolate tart that we sell in the pub, since the chef told me the recipe! But was 3 AM when I started and then suddenly realized that I had no butter for the base, my Easter week-end sous-chef, Magda is in the Sunny East costs, precisely in the beautiful city of Wexford, Wexford Town, decided to add yogurt instead of butter, now it did work out a bit but was not that solid so we decided to mix everything together and this is what came out :-)
