Today we had a Royal Brunch celebration with our friends, Janice and Albert, and their daughter, Jacqueline. Janice and I decided that we wanted to cook an entire meal from the cookbook written by Princess Diana's personal chef. We had a great time and the food was delicious except for one notable exception: my tomato and dill mousse. It was a gelantinous mess! I had trouble with the gelatin when I was making the dish and I thought the mousse might not set up. Boy, was I right! It was more like a cold tomato and dill soup with some random bits of gelatin in it. Oh well, I tried and I think it will be delicious if I can just get the gelatin down.
