Doug is in California for the next few days so I made some comfort food for dinner. It's one of my favorite recipes, Terbiyeli Tavuk Corbasi, aka Turkish style Avgolemono soup.
Then I attempted my first Tiramisu. So far so good. It looks like it's going to set but we won't know until tomorrow.

I think the key is the Kitchen Aid Mixer.. Thank you Mom!
Recipe
Ingredients
* 6 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature*
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup good dark rum, divided
* 1 1/2 cups brewed espresso, divided
* 16 to 17 ounces mascarpone cheese
* 30 Italian ladyfingers, or savoiardi
* Bittersweet chocolate, shaved or grated
* Confectioners' sugar (optional)
Directions
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until very thick and light yellow. Lower the speed to medium and add 1/4 cup rum, 1/4 cup espresso, and the mascarpone. Whisk until smooth.
Combine the remaining 1/4 cup rum and 1 1/4 cups espresso in a shallow bowl. Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger in the espresso/rum mixture and line the bottom of a 9 by 12 by 2-inch dish. Pour half the espresso cream mixture evenly on top. Dip 1 side of the remaining ladyfingers in the espresso/rum mixture and place them in a second layer in the dish. Pour the rest of the espresso cream over the top. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle the top with shaved chocolate and dust lightly with confectioners' sugar.
