packing and pie

i have been reluctant to tell people we bought a house and are moving at the end of the month!
we had put offers on two other houses that fell through. so this time we thought we'd be a little more reserved, as to not get our hopes up and those of loved ones excited for us. but the time has come near and we believe we have our ducks in a row for this house. so in a mere 18 days we will move into our first home. (more details to come about the house)

chocolate raspberry mousse pie! yum! its my favorite dessert we make at the restaurant i work at. i finally asked the baker what was in it. she told me, and so with only a knowledge of what was in it, and not exactly how much, i successfully recreated this dessert! it turned out great. i haven't written it down yet, so i will try to do so here, so i can remember and you can make this yummy treat too!
