Did anybody else get the latest test recipe from CI?

I have been getting a lot lately. I got some killer scallops, braised peas (also v. good). I got, but haven't tried, a triple chocolate mousse cake and cassoulet which I would love to make but doubt I will have the time before I leave. Feast or famine.

I noticed I just got one, but haven't had the time to open it up and really look at it. Looks like something I would make, however.

I had done the new chocolate chip cookies last fall and thought they were great. However, I just remade them last month, before the recipe came out and thought they were not so special. I must have done something wrong this time...I was in a real hurry. I haven't looked to see if there are any changes in the magazine from what I was originally sent.

I got all of those same ones. I have not been able to try any of them. I am the promotor of an RV show and it's this weekend so have not had a minute to even give them a good look over. I may try them, but not within the time frame indicated. I am interested in the pea recipes. I'd love to try the Mouse cake, but when I glanced at the recipe I see it takes 3 cups of cream and I don't think my waistline can handle that! If I was having a dinner party I would make it, but just for us, no way.

My cat, Sigrid, says that if you're having Mouse Cake, she'll come to your dinner party.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Tell Kitty, if I make it I'll let her know.

I thought the Cassoulet with the Duck Confit was an interesting dish. Much more so then the Basic Vinaigrette from a couple of months ago.

I hope you make it and then tell me how it is!
