There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Untested - Cretons (pork spread or pâté)

From a newspaper clipping in my mom's recipe box. Here's another one.

1 lb ground pork
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 onion, grated
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground clove
1 Tbsp dry parsley
Pinch or two of salt and pepper

  1. In a saucepan, cook the pork and onion together. Add the milk and spices, and simmer slowly, covered, for an hour, stirring frequently.
  2. Add the bread crumbs and stir vigorously until the liquid has been absorbed by the bread and it is evenly distributed.
  3. Adjust seasoning.
  4. Pour into a mold, weigh it, and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours before serving.
