T.O.P.!!

Y'all are talking wine talk and not paying attention!

 

[WDWLVR]

But I got Mary's cruise pics in the mail today...what a great pick me up! Thank you Mary!!!

Stacey

Glad you liked them!

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

That is a good price. What it a chain store that might have it in my area? My local suppliers are out. I think Kevin cleaned them out for the cruise.

Nah.. a little place around the corner from the Mr Food storefront .. called Wine Warehouse... but the place was no bigger than my kitchen! Lots of wine packed in there though. The guy was very impressed when I brought the Banfi up to the counter.....LOL Little does he know..... I am a screw cap aficianado
He also had a very sophisticated name for the screw top stuff.. can't remember it though... I laughed when he told me... I should have written it down. He said the aussie wines are mostly going screw cap (or whatever he called it) because of a cork shortage..........go figure

Karen... I don't know but the map on the wall in the Mr Food place had them all over the US. Maybe it was a wishful thinking map??

[tinksdad]

Stacey

It's Saturday morning and the sad part is that I am up at 5:30. Guess I will cook some more for tonight. Last night we (DD and I) started the cooking so we should be able to finish it pretty easily. Matt has science fair today and tomorrow Lisa as a gymnastics competition.....I drive....I cook.....I could be a stay at home mom.

 

[All_Ears]

I can tell this isn't working.




Never mind!!

You're right, this is a FRIENDLY board!!

Kevin,

I am sorry, it now seems like I insulted you

Leslie,

Chris and I both got our Stock reports a couple of weeks ago - Great book this year I agree - but neither one had a pin! What type of pin was it?​

Didn't do cookies this morning. Put the glazing on my chocolate expresso torte. There just happen to be a little glazing left over which went real well on the fresh strawberries we have. Chocolate covered strawberries....not cookies....but still pretty good.

Yum, sounds good to me!!

So did they restock the Banfi after "I" cleaned it out?

Uh, better late than never? Sorry, Jim, too late for tonight:


Flourless Chocolate and Hazelnut Cake

Serves 6



7 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted

1/3 cup butter

½ cup finely chopped hazelnuts

¼ cup sugar

5 eggs

¼ cup cocoa

<O

• Preheat the oven to 220 F and butter a 9 inch round cake pan.
• Melt the chocolate and butter together and stir in the hazelnuts.
• In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until fluffy. Fold chocolate and butter mixture into the eggs and blend just until all the ingredients are well blended.
• Pour into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the center is firm to the touch.
• Allow to cool at room temperature and then refrigerate overnight.
• To serve, unmold the cake and sprinkle the top with cocoa.

Absolutely best served with Banfi.

Thanks. I printed it for next time.

The chocolate expresso torte with chocolate glaze is already made. It is even richer than the recipe above so it should do just fine with the Banfi.

The crab and articoke cakes from Victoria and Alberts are made and in the refrig. Just waiting to be drop in some hot butter.

Now on to the Mozzarella and Tomato Salad from Palos.

Used strategy instead. Surprise and corner!!
