Thank you.

Dx January 2006GuestDecember 15, 2007 at 3:39 amWhat kind of torture is this Warren? I haven’t a cookie in the house!
PatFinally finished making the cookies and the trays. Here’s the process:
Here’s a finished tray before it’s wrapped.
And here’s the final Christmas gift. Wish I could send one to each of you!
But I can still post more recipes if you see something you like :D

PediatricianRosemary,

I want everyone to know, that I have finally given in and made the co-workers the jalapeno cornbread today. I am catching the wafts coming from the kitchen and it smells really good.
This cornbread was a big topic of conversation yesterday. The coworkers feel that they are being punished because I’m not bringing this to them for our monthly birthday’s get together…
I’m so mean… :P

I live in the Berkshires of Western Ma. in Great Barrington there is a place called the Barrington Brewery they have this cake. When I found the chiefs recipe online I was estatic. My niece now serves it at her two resturants in the Nashville area. It is a job to creat but will get you raves. So my gift to you all is the visually most impressive,best tasting chocolate cake I have ever ran across.

IngredientsCake
2 cups stout (such as Guinness)
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
4 cups all purpose flour
4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 large eggs
1 1/3 cups sour creamIcing
2 cups whipping cream
1 pound bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, choppedPreparation for cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter three 8-inch round cake pans with 2-inch-high sides. Line with parchment paper. Butter paper. Bring 2 cups stout and 2 cups butter to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add cocoa powder and whisk until mixture is smooth. Cool slightly.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in large bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sour cream in another large bowl to blend. Add stout-chocolate mixture to egg mixture and beat just to combine. Add flour mixture and beat briefly on slow speed. Using rubber spatula, fold batter until completely combined. Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Bake cakes until tester inserted into center of cakes comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer cakes to rack; cool 10 minutes. Turn cakes out onto rack and cool completely.For icing:
Bring cream to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add chopped chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Refrigerate until icing is spreadable, stirring frequently, about 2 hours.Place 1 cake layer on plate. Spread 2/3 cup icing over. Top with second cake layer. Spread 2/3 cup icing over. Top with third cake layer. Spread remaining icing over top and sides of cake.

President American Bladder Cancer SocietyWarren! Wow…I am very impressed….
My address is:
LOL
I do so enjoy being in the kitchen don’t you? There is something so relaxing about being up to you elbows in flour….And the results are so satisfying (and wonderfully fattening)! I exercise all year to be able to enjoy the holidays! I always gain 5-10 lbs but it is worth every mile I run in Jan.! I eat straight through from Halloween Candy to Mimosa’s on New Years Day. Its great because I never take off my apron during the Holidays either (I LOVE Aprons) , so no one can tell when I have to loosen a button…LOL
Enjoy your evening!

For you Rosemary
Rum Balls
Ingredients:
2½ cups vanilla wafer crumbs (½ lb.)
¼ cup light corn syrup
¼ cup rum
2 tbsp. cocoa
1 cup pecans
Confectioner’s sugarDirections:
Blender crumb wafers
Blender chop nuts
Mix in cocoa, corn syrup, and rum
Roll into balls
Refrigerate
Roll in confectioner’s sugarThis recipe came from my first blender’s instruction book. I’m more inclined to use a food processor for turning the cookies into crumbs and chopping the nuts. I use a small melon scoop to grab a piece of dough for each cookie, roll it between my palms to make a round ball, and refrigerate on wax paper in a jelly roll pan (a cookie sheet with sides will do. I just don’t want them rolling off the tray on the way to the refrigerator ;)).

Dx January 2006I loved the cookie shots. My 94 year old father-in-law is a retired baker (also a three time bladder cancer survivor)…to this day, he makes masses of cookies every Christmas. I feel exhausted just watching.
