I never even had those and miss them! 18071. judithathome - 1/3/2006 8:00:42 PM We had a local bakery that used to make these things called Boston Cream Pies...they were really one layer of sponge cake covered in a film of vanilla pudding and the top was divided into four sections, each of which were covered with fruit topping: strawberry, pineapple, blueberry, and apple. Then, the edge of the top was piped with white buttercream frosting and the sides of the cake were frosted in chocolate.
I loved those things, they were so garish and yummy! One New Year's Day, I was craving one and made my (then) husband drive to every store on our side of town looking for one...to no avail.
Of course, NOW if I wanted one, Keoni would make it for me. ;-) 18072. Ms. No - 1/3/2006 8:05:18 PM T'ful,
I don't generally run into that with food but it almost never fails that I run into it with scents. I find something I adore and I will only wear that scent and then somebody goes and discontinues it on me. Or they change the formula. Bleh!
18073. Ms. No - 1/3/2006 8:05:52 PM Juditha,
That alone would show he's a keeper! 18074. judithathome - 1/3/2006 8:48:26 PM I know what you meant about scents...same thing here. But nothing is as bad as how I find a lipstick shade and BAM! it's discontinued.
One of the scents that changed was Chanel #5...it's nothing like it used to be. 18075. thoughtful - 1/3/2006 8:54:04 PM My mother always talked about her favorite perfume by richard hudnut ... to give you an idea of how long ago we're talking. She said nothing else had that wonderfully soft fragrance and she misses it to this day. Scents are very powerful things.
That boston cream pie sounds sinful.
But this is all very bad.
See, I weighed myself this a.m. and i have a LOT of work to do. I really let myself go over the holidays, not to mention having allowed myself some weight creep in the few months before the holiday.
And I still have a fair amount of that 72% chocolate hubby bought me for xmas.
This ain't going to be easy!
Waiter, pour me another glass of water, straight up! 18076. Ms. No - 1/3/2006 8:57:34 PM I've still got two Key Lime pies in my fridge that I'm trying to offload somewhere. I know my next door neighbor would take one but he's still out of town for the holiday.
I may just bring them to the office and ruin my co-workers' diets. 18077. thoughtful - 1/3/2006 9:02:44 PM Yum I love key lime pies! 18078. Ms. No - 1/3/2006 9:05:49 PM Well, I'd send you one if I thought it would make the trip. In consolation I'll put the recipe in Good Life and you can indulge at some later date.;-> 18079. Magoseph - 1/3/2006 9:10:46 PM I suppose the cabbage pastries refer to “Choux à la Crème”—When I was a kid, we had every Christmas a “Pièce montée” made with them and also a “ Bûche de Noël”, which is a kind of cake made to look like a log, rolled with some delicious stuffing and decorated with chocolate and green icing. 18080. thoughtful - 1/3/2006 9:45:48 PM Choux a la Creme...is that what we call a cream puff? 18081. thoughtful - 1/3/2006 9:46:05 PM recipe looks yummy msno...thanks! 18082. thoughtful - 1/3/2006 9:47:45 PM Cream puff
 18083. thoughtful - 1/3/2006 9:48:37 PM I will get cravings for a cream puff....but has to be made with real whipped heavy cream to satisfy and MUST be dusted with powdered sugar. One of my faves! 18084. Ms. No - 1/3/2006 10:23:06 PM I'm a sucker for biegnets. They make a variation at the Grand Lux Cafe served with chocolate, raspberry and Jack Daniels sauces on the side. I just skip the chocolate and mix and match the other two.
Sinfully delicious as they are, they don't even come close to real NO biegnets, but one makes do as one must. sob!
18085. Jenerator - 1/3/2006 10:28:16 PM Gimlets are back in style.
 18086. Jenerator - 1/3/2006 10:32:18 PM As are Pavlovas
 18087. Ms. No - 1/3/2006 10:32:18 PM mmmm! Gimlet!! 18088. thoughtful - 1/3/2006 10:32:41 PM My last day of work before the holidays was 12/16 and today is my first day back. Man is this tough...this is the longest day ever.
Those 2+ weeks went by so quickly and I find myself hankering for more.
Is it time to go home yet? 18089. thoughtful - 1/3/2006 10:33:43 PM One of the xmas parties we went to had a trifle made with whipped cream and choc cake...it was so yummy. Gotta get that recipe!
