What I learned this week; Ganache

What I learned this week; Ganache

It is possible to ruin a ganache, you stir it like crazy when it still hot! Since I was stuck with it, not having any more cream, I mixed it with a hand blender when it was just getting cool. It didn't have the glossy sheen it should, but made an acceptable covering for the cake.

Also, having had some IE7 problems when loading YUI3 at the bottom of the page I've gone and stuck one in the document head for older versions of IE.

<!--[if lte IE 7]>
    <script 
        type="text/javascript" 
        src="/lib/yui/${yuiVersion}/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

On a related point, it seems that in IE9 borer-radius is supported, but not in conjunction with a gradient filter, at least not on what I was doing, so decided that I'd rather have the rounded corners than the gradient.

<!--[if IE 9]>
  <style type="text/css">
    #divContainer div.topbar {
        border-radius:10px 10px 0 0;
        filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(enabled = false);
    }
  </style>
<![endif]-->
