Isn't It a Shame?

Since coming back from New York, I've been quite a busy man in the kitchen!

This week's experimental delights included:

French Onion Soup: Laura has 2 french onion soup bowls, so I figured it was due time. Caramelize some onions(butter, sugar, onion in frying pan for 10 mins). Add a touch of flour to absorb the extra juices/butter. Buy/make chicken or beef broth. Add broth to onions, simmer. Pour into soup bowl, add a layer of baguette. Add a layer of cheese. Cook in over until cheese is melted.

Bundt Cake!: Laura's Nana gave us a bundt cake pan as a house warming gift. Frankly, I don't really see the advantage of a bundt cake over another other form of cake...except it has BY FAR the coolest name. All of the recipes I found were not from scratch, but rather all started with "1 package of chocolate cake mix", to which we added 1 package of jello chocolate pudding mix, 4 eggs, some oil, some milk, sour cream, chocolate chips and pecans. I tried my hands at making a glaze( icing sugar + water ), but it was a disaster...I added too much water, and it was really runny(note for people like Simon - we're talking like I had a ratio of icing sugar to water of atleast 5:1 and it was still too watery).

I'm making butter chicken this afternoon, but using my fallback PC Financial sauce...hmmmmMmMmMM!
