For not having much of an appetite, we’re still eating. The colds from hell linger on. And on. And on. And on.
Tonight was the pork chops from yesterday, a sweet potato and a red potato, roasted with garlic and rosemary and sage from the garden. And frozen peas because they were there.
The chop was perfectly charred. It was about all I could taste – until Victor’s dessert.
I could actually smell this baking.

I made a chocolate ganache for the top and then covered it with unsweetened coconut.
Yum.
