Mr Rabbit makes rhubarb chocolate chili tart

Start with beautiful fresh rhubarb, roasted in the oven with a sprinkle of sugar. (180°C for 10 mins) 
Prepare a pâte sucrée replacing 30g of the flour with cocoa. Backe blind at 180°C until the base is biscuity (depends on the thickness of the pastry). Mine was about 30 mins. Leave to cool.
Make a chili ganache with 200g dark choc (I used 72% Frey) & 50g chili chocolate. Or use 250g dark and add chili to taste. Or not...
Break choc into smallish pieces. Try not to eat it all.
Heat 2 dl 35% cream to almost boiling and pour over chocolate. Leave to sit for a few minutes before stirring gently to blend. Leave to cool.
Line tart with ganache, layer rhubarb over it, and cover with remaining ganache. 
Voilà

Mr Rabbit peering at newts and posing with the pond orb.
Earlier today I shared an orb photo taken with my Father's decanter stopper. Here I am sharing my mother's orb which is a fishing float. The day she was buried, I put the float in the pond, where it had remained. The newts don't seem to mind!

We have lost 97% of our wild #tigers in just over a century!

With so few remaining, action is needed to increase and strengthen their habitat and protect the species from major threats such as #poaching.

I took +Mr Rabbit's Big Adventure on a bike ride on Friday to discover some of my new terrain. He hopped on my mountain bike and we headed up the Toblerone Line . We met the Oulevey family who were intrigued to know what we were up to, and a sleepy "gros escargot de Bourgogne" . No chocolate was consumed, the Toblerones in question being huge concrete blocks installed during WWII, as defence against invading tanks. We didn't eat the snail either :D

"We are constantly encouraged to reject what is unpleasant, disappointing or difficult... But our suffering is not our enemy. It is only through a relationship with my pain, my sadness, that I can truly know and touch the opposite—my pleasure, my joy, and my happiness."

"The beginning of the universe, for beginners" is the premiere of a series of five collaborations between CERN and TED Ed that feature content on the origins of the universe, dark matter, antimatter, big data and the Higgs boson. These animations were specially developed by CERN scientists and animated by talented animators who work with TED-Ed. The other four animations will premiere at TEDxCERN on 3 May from 2pm - 8pm CEST, and the animated lessons will be available on ed.ted.com starting on 3 May. The webcast will be available to the public here http://tedxcern.web.cern.ch/.

One of the speakers at this event is Google Science Fair 2012 Grand Prize Winner Brittany Wenger!

"VII

Amer savoir, celui qu'on tire du voyage!
Le monde, monotone et petit, aujourd'hui,
Hier, demain, toujours, nous fait voir notre image:
Une oasis d'horreur dans un désert d'ennui!
Faut-il partir? rester? Si tu peux rester, reste;
Pars, s'il le faut. L'un court, et l'autre se tapit
Pour tromper l'ennemi vigilant et funeste,
Le Temps! Il est, hélas! des coureurs sans répit,
Comme le Juif errant et comme les apôtres,
À qui rien ne suffit, ni wagon ni vaisseau,
Pour fuir ce rétiaire infâme; il en est d'autres
Qui savent le tuer sans quitter leur berceau.
Lorsque enfin il mettra le pied sur notre échine,
Nous pourrons espérer et crier: En avant!
De même qu'autrefois nous partions pour la Chine,
Les yeux fixés au large et les cheveux au vent,
Nous nousembarquero... more »
