Well, no one told me this when I took over this thread, so go ahead, Pelle, until you have a good reason to stop me.:-)
By the way, I saw a post from Linnea this morning, but I can't find it now.
17790. Linnea - 12/9/2005 9:47:35 PM Kiitos, Pelle. 17791. Macnas - 12/12/2005 10:46:29 AM Nice cards from Unicef.
We support the Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind, and were at the Christmas party yesterday.
Nice choir, some mulled wine and mince pies, santa and gifts for the small man, and a walk around to see the fantastic dogs they rear and train.
Mostly labradors, with the odd golden retriever and alsatian. A very worthwhile cause.
17792. SnowOwl - 12/13/2005 7:50:34 AM I'm off to Australia on Thursday, to spend Christmas with #3 son, his wife and our new granddaughter, so I'm wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, well in advance.
17793. Macnas - 12/13/2005 10:46:03 AM Happy Christmas Snow! 17794. wonkers2 - 12/13/2005 2:39:01 PM Feliz viaje, SnowOwl. 17795. Magoseph - 12/13/2005 3:33:57 PM Joyeux Noël et bonne année, Snow!.
Hi, Mac and Wonks--is your Chrismas shopping done? 17796. Magoseph - 12/13/2005 4:03:56 PM Hello, thoughtful. 17797. thoughtful - 12/13/2005 4:22:24 PM Hi Mags, wassup? 17798. thoughtful - 12/13/2005 4:23:36 PM I've got 2 parties to go to this weekend. One I'm asked to bring something sweet...besides my husband that is, so I thought I'd make up a batch of toll house cookies which are always such hot sellers, but make half the batch with white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts..the other half with the trad'l semisweet choc chips. Whaddya think? 17799. Magoseph - 12/13/2005 6:08:19 PM I think it's a wonderful idea for you to make these cookies. I just wish I could come over and sample them. 17800. Ms. No - 12/13/2005 6:41:40 PM Ooh! Those sound delicious, Thoughtful!
I've only got one party to cook for this weekend but I'm doing double duty with an appetizer and a dessert. Appetizer is a Spinach Artichoke dip and dessert is either Sweet Potato or Key Lime Pie. The deciding factor will be how much time I've got to do it. Key Lime is ridiculously fast and easy.
17801. Macnas - 12/13/2005 6:43:08 PM Hello No.
I like banoffi me. 17802. thoughtful - 12/13/2005 6:43:26 PM Oh I LOVE key lime pie. When I make it, I melt semi sweet choc bits and brush a coating of the melted choc over the baked pie crust before I fill it. It adds an extra je ne c'est qua! 17803. Macnas - 12/13/2005 6:45:54 PM I see chocolate chip figures large in your cooking thoughtful...
17804. Macnas - 12/13/2005 6:46:40 PM Or apple tart, with a nice sour kick to it, that's good too. 17805. wonkers2 - 12/13/2005 6:50:24 PM How about some New Orleans pecan pie with lots of pecans and not much filling. 17806. Macnas - 12/13/2005 6:56:18 PM I've never had pecan pie.
Or pecan anything for that matter, are they tasty? 17807. Ms. No - 12/13/2005 6:58:13 PM What a great idea, T'ful! I'm going to have to try that.
Mac,
Mmmm, banoffi! That's another one to try. It sounds delicious. Last year I did a green apple and cheddar pie that was pretty good, but I've never been much of a dessert maker so it's all kind of new to me.
Wonk,
Ah, my grandmother used to make the best Pecan Pie! And yes, it's better with more nuts and less..."goo"...whatever that tannish-jellish stuff is. 17808. Macnas - 12/13/2005 7:02:58 PM Well, my missus says its the best dessert you can make without having to cook anything.
Although, I do find the part where you boil the tin of condensed milk to be a bit nervewracking.
