Morning, Robby, RIF, Bob and AW. AW how did you sleep? When I was pregos with DD, I had the most vivid nightmares and dreams. I usualy woke up more tired than when I went to bed. PLUS I had 9 months of morning sickness. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> THe last time was while I was in labour! I was able to clear a house faster than a fire alarm. I am not a quiet, how should I say this, uhhh "hurler" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> EEEWWWW!! Robby, I'll have a double strength cappucinno with non fat milk, please. And a cheese bagel with cream cheese if there is one around (not too old).

Ah, Yes, Robby. Toasted, please. Have you heard from AZ? Can you call them? My prayers include you today. Has anyone here ever taken tae kwon do or other self-defense courses. How rigorous are they? My NY goal is to do more active things. I am chained to my pc both at work and at home. By choice, of course. So, between the Dragon Boating <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> and the current gym stuff, I need something to round out the activities. Well, maybe Yoga for calmness would be better. BUt, I need to release that anger. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> Any suggestions?

Okay, now this is freaky. I signed up for the free tarot reading and now get my daily horrorscope sent to my email. THis is what I got this morning: </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">VIRGO: You have something going on that isn't easy to share with others -- and you might choose to just keep it entirely to yourself. Even if you don't reveal the nature of your deep thoughts now, give yourself permission to explore them. Muster up the courage to go wherever they take you, for there are surprises in the darkness that can lead you back into the light. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">And, my previous post was in line with my "deep" thoughts. Sheesh!

Morning all, no coffee for me. I enjoy the smell but not the taste. Never learned to like it. Jelly said: </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> RH, tongue sharp as a tack? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Yes, meaning your have a cutting wit that you apply with your words, the double entendre of ....blah, blah, blah.... Evening AW, BP, RIF. Morning Mayor, Jelly, FAA, etc. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="images/icons/blush.gif" /> (RH's attempt at a yawn, but not red faced or embarrassed)

I ate a whole box of chocolates since CHristmas. (gift from SS) I might never look at it again. HA! WHo am I kidding? I have chocolate in my coffee, I have chocolate in my milk and I even eat Nutella, a hazelnut and CHOCOLATE spread on my toast. I make the most awesome Belgian Chocolate Pecan Crust dessert, and my brownies are to die for. I have no room for any more. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> BUt, give me some Dutch licorice and I will go nuts. THat is my other weakness. Well one of many. Dutch licorice is salted and very strong. Yum. Definitely an acquired taste.

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> yummy </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I used that word like three times yesterday. NOW made me a pecan pie (since she was all that pleased with the chocolate pecan pie she made for Christmas. I liked them both, but the regular pecan pie was/is better. I'm sure it will be gone by today.

{{{Jelly}}}, Ditto:
From me to all of you:
Ganache Tart with Pecan Crust & Caramel Sauce
Caramel Sauce:
1/2 c unsalted butter
1 c sugar
1 c whip cream
Melt butter in heavy saucepan over med-low heat. Stir in sugar. Cook until spotted brown on surface and golden brown on bottom,swirling pan occasionally, 15-18 min, do not stir. Meanwhile, bring cream to simmer in saucepan. Remove caramel mixture from heat and gradually whisk in hot cream. Mixture will bubble vigorously. Return
caramel to heat and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Transfer to a bowl and Cool.
Crust:
7 oz. pecans, finely chopped
1/2 c + 2 T sugar
3 1/2 T butter, melted
Combine pecans and sugar in medium bowl. Drizzle butter over and stir to blend. Firmly press into bottom and up the sides of 10 inch tart pan. Place on sheet and bake in 325 degree oven until light brown, about 20 min.
Ganache:
1 lb bittersweet chocolate or semisweet, chopped
2 c whip cream
1 egg yolk
12 whole pecans
Melt chocolate. Stir until smooth. Bring cream to a simmer in heavy saucepan over med heat.
Whisk yolk into warm chocolate. Gradually whisk in cream just until smooth. Strain into pecan crust. Refrigerate until set, about 4 hr.
Re-warm sauce if desired. Remove sides and arrange pecan halves around the edge of tart.
It is VERY rich. So, after I make it, I slice very thin wedges and freeze them individually and take them out when I have a craving. THe caramel sauce is a MUST. So I freeze the sauce in ice cube trays to put out 1 or 1 to heat and drizzle.
