  1. You should be able to start braiding it right away, although you're welcome to let it sit and warm up a little if you want to or if you feel it would make it better.

    Next time, I am going to let it sit for a while so it is easy to roll out before braiding the dough. All in all, it turned out great. Thanks again for the recipe Nathan.

  2. "Cool Cats Challah":

    Thanks for the recipe Nathan. Baked the Cool Cats Challah this morning and its fantastic.

    Just a question: Once you take out the bread from the refrig, do you let it sit out til its room temperature? Just curious.

  3. It's good to see this thread pick back up. I have some more recipes coming up, so look for 'em!

    And PennyLany:

    Is this for Dark Chocolate fudge or regular fudge? If regular, how would I make it a dark chocolate fudge?

    I never tried it with Dark Chocolate. You could substitute the semi-sweet to dark chocolate, but not sure about the german chocolate taste with dark chocolate. You will need to use the 24 oz of chocolate. This recipe is rich and sweet when using the semi and german chocolate bars in the recipe. Next year, I will try it with Dark Chocolate. Normally, I eat bittersweet chocolate, but as you know with baking everything has to measure to the tee or it doesn't turn out. I use bittersweet chocolate bars when making mousse or truffles, since bittersweet is true to the chocolate taste.

    I am in the middle of baking lemon cookies. Let me know how it turns out with dark chocolate.

  4. For the Chocolate Lovers:

    Million Dollar Fudge

    4 1/2 cups sugar

    Pinch salt

    2 tablespoons butter - Not Oleo

    1 tall can evaporated milk

    Still the ingredients above in a large sauce pan, heat medium stirring constantly and boil rapidly for 6 minutes. Pour boiling syrup into large bowl, over the following ingredients:

    12 oz semi-sweet chocolate bits (I use Ghirardelli chocolate)

    12 oz German Sweet chocolate ( I normally cut the chocolate bars into pieces)

    1 pint Marshmallow Cream

    2 cups walnuts (optional)

    Beat until all chocolate is melted. (Looks like frosting)

    Pour into shallow pan (9x13) and let set several hours before cutting.

    Makes a lot of fudge but very good for the soul.

  5. Grand Marnier (gʀã maʀnje) is a liqueur created in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle. It is a kind of triple sec, made from a blend of true cognacs and distilled essence of bitter orange. Grand Marnier is 40% alcohol (80 proof). It is produced in several varieties, most of which can be consumed "neat" as a digestif and can be used in mixed drinks and desserts. Took off from Wikepedia. I use Grand Marnier when making chocolate mousse and chocolate truffles.

  6. A friend of mine sent me quotes from the Dalai Lama and here are two of the them:

    Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk - just live your dream.

    Live a good honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

  7. I am currently reading "The Oracle, Ancient Delphi and the Science Behind It's Lost Secrets" by Wm. Broad. Only in a few pages. Since reading the book "The Last Oracle" by Jas. Rollins, now I am intrigued by the Oracle of Delphi. One wonders when stories have been passed down through the generations if they truly existed and not a myth but actually happened.

  8. But in another life and time, he WILL read your post, and then . . . :wub:

    I should have written that I did blush when I was writing this, even at my age. Nothing should surprise me. I am still young and young at heart.

  9. Mr Thin-Lips there would have been in his forties when that was taken, yes. It's a gorgeous pic, isn't it?

    Very sexy! If only to meet him in my lifetime. Robert's a Leo and I am an Aries. A great match! Maybe in another life and time, our pasts will connect. I still believe Dreams do come true. I don't think that he reads the website, so he will never read this posting. I can still dream...

  10. But it does nothing to undo the mystery of the alleged bimbo comment.

    For Ledded 1:

    Dalliance is a good word, not one you would associate with bands the women and life on the road biggrin.gif

    So I had to look up the word which means an act of dallying: as a: play ; especially : amorous play b: frivolous action : trifling

    I don't understand Bimbo comment, if she was actually a bimbo or acting as one? Need clarification here.
