I then made the panna cotta, this is the easiest thing in the world. Heat up 250ml cream with 1/3 cup of sugar and a vanilla bean. Soak 1 gelatine leaf in cold water and add it to the cream and take it off the heat. Take out the vanilla bean. Once it's a little cooled and the wine jelly is set in the fridge, gently add the panna cotta layer and leave to set. To turn it out I put the bowl into some boiling water for a few seconds to soften it and then turn it out. If you feel it won't work try running a knife around the edge.
I was rumaging around trying to find something to decorate my plate and went out onto the balcony and there was my rocket seedlings sprouting up and guess what... I thought they looked nice... I am sure that Tobie Puttock once used purple basil sprouts to decorate a dessert and Jamie uses thyme in cakes so.... the peppery smell and taste was odd with the jelly and cream but beggars cannot be choosers....

Ohh,

And to your question,
You can find peanut butter chips usually in the baking area.
I used REESE'S peanut butter chips.

Kate/kajal, wish you were here and I would have given you some, I am the only one in this house that eats them and I have had enough... thanks for stopping by... Vida x
Tara, I learned to love it in France but this particular bottle did not please me so with lots of sugar it became something better... They were so soft and wobbly and really fabulous if I say so myself... Vida x
Tara, you could use just about any juice, or sweetened red wine or white, dessert wine would be great, and for the panna cotta try using some citrus zest instead of the vanilla bean or even bay leaf (do you call it laurel?)... the ideas are endless... Vida x x

Fruity
Fruit species, thanks for visiting... you got me confused, "siren from afar", what does that mean???? P.S. how did you find me??? Vida x x x
It looks like those round signal or warning lights, sometimes mount on top of those plain police car :) Came in from... actually, I can't remember but from one of your comments in someone's blog.
Fruity
Fruit species, NOW I see it... yes, I see it on top of a cop car... you know what confussed me, I was thinking like sirens, like mermaids, you know??? I have no idea why I thought sirens, instead of sirens... must be the blonde in me!!! I only asked how you found me because I just wonder how people do, unless I have commented on their site or seen the name in a comment or whatever... Vida x
Wow stunning.
