How about 10,000 hits? Actually I’ve more practical matters in mind. There’s an event next weekend and I was thinking of bringing Trifle. Possibly lemon/blueberry, but orange/cranberry may win out. I’ll look up recipes this morning.
We went to a hardware/cooking store yesterday as Jim needed to find those removable “Command” hooks for several cubicles at work, as people have no place to hang their winter coats. Since this hardware store has many interesting cooking items, I looked for a trifle bowl, as mine broke, fell of the shelf while Maintenance was here and crashed. They sent me to a restaurant supply store, which was only open until 2:00 on Saturday, we missed it by 1/2 hour but I look forward to going again on Monday.
I thought of making mincemeat tarts but they won’t go over well in a Southern setting. If they’re not steeped in Sweet Tea, they certainly have a history with desserts, and this Yankee doesn’t do dessert. Too many women in my family are way to good at it for me to have a chance. Forget chocolate hazelnut panforte. Italian won’t cut it either. But a sweet pudding might. Question is, if I make orange/cranberry can I brush the slices with Grand Marnier or will that seal me and any taster’s fate in Satan’s lair?
If you know the answers, please advise. Thanks, Dee

I’m a big fan of lemon/blueberry anything, but if you go with orange/cranberry, I absolve you of any sin related to Grand Marnier. Let us know what you end up making!
I always get away with plenty of apricot brandy on fruitcake, and, believe it or not, it tastes great, not at all like the stuff we can buy in a tin can.
A cousin brought a rum cake once and Joe announced loudly how AWFUL it was, till he found out the maker was in the room. Thankfully it was HIS cousin, not mine and he just wasn’t expecting that flavor. He still didn’t like it.
We may be teetotalers but not when used as flavoring, who doesn’t use vanilla?
Your deserts sound much tastier than the icky purple wormer your mother in law makes me swallow.
Do you have any desert with oats in it?
I meant to say dessert rather than desert. These hooves make typing difficult.
Although I’m not a big fan of Zoe, I have to agree with her about computer keyboards not being engineered properly for non-humans. It is definitely a subtle form of repression negatively affecting our advancement in society.
Anonymous Goat once took a two-liter bottle of what he thought was and was labeled Dr. Pepper, back to college. A couple of miles down the road he took a swig. It was pure vanilla extract. Which to MC must mean vanilla beans in brandy or something. I only buy it, don’t make it. Dee
