What exactly is tiramisu?

Jackie

lady fingers with kahlua and marscipone cheese, mmmmmmmmm

ETA: In Italian, it literally means "pick me up". Just a little trivia there....I don't think it's much of a pick me up, but it is darn good.

The Trader Joe kind doesn't have kahlua, just coffee. I think. Oh gawd now I have to go check the box!

I had one of those moments this morning.... I hate it when that happens.

I seriously hope the Trader Joe kind doesn't have the alchohol.

Friday--I had this long "I am leaving VJ today' post all typed out and then I said to myself, 'Self--screw him. If you leave VJ you can't be around to help others that might need support in the future' (small shameless plug for 'Jackies Corner')

So, I'm not going anywhere! I am sure my ex would love me to go away. But I am not. I love and respect Laura too much to cause her to reprimand me publically. I will behave and try not to say negative things about the one that tore out my heart and stomped on it on his way out the door. (one last jab---you said you came to America only for me----well, be gone then)

On a brighter note--------- it's payday! it's Friday and..........I have the day off Going to pick up Alexis and play in the park while her mother rests. Poor Jessica has something, either a bad cold or brohchitis. I take her to the dr in the afternoon. I would love to post current pics of Alexis (with her ears pierced!) but I can't. grrrrrrr

Have a good day.

Jackie

Yes Jackie stick around please! I may need you in the future as well as some others.

Good morning everybody-

I woke up feeing pretty good...but omg, that other thread is making my head spin. I can't believe some people!

Anyways, have a good day

What other thread?

Morning everyone!!!

Stomach bug day 2.....thought I was good to go to work but left after an hour. And most of that hour was spent in the bathroom So I'm back to working from home.

That other topic blows my mind.

Now I'm really curious what topic people are talking about.

I was once introduced to tiramisu with a small taste of warmed up grande marnia. But I'm put off alcohol and smoking for life now.

Sowee.

I think actually Marsala wine is the standard ingredient along with espresso.

I prefer kahlua though, mmmmmmm

OMG it's sooo good too! I should have known that it had something in it 'cause it had a little bite to it but I thought stores couldn't sell things with alcholol in them here. gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Now I'll have to find another dessert for tonight. My daughter even loved it!! lol no wonder!

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

You all are great! I found the thread cuz I saw it got locked so that answers my curious cat.

Hmmm... In other news....

I finished one of my 6 page essays for midterms next week so that is relief! One less thing to worry about. I'm talking full advantage of the computer lab this weekend to do my investigative reports and write my other essays and study for my midterms! I will be checking in for breaks from time to time! Whoot! Don't be strangers this weekend!

When I make it I just use espresso. I'll have to dig out that recipe and post it. It's so simple.

i have a fantastic EASY recipe for tiramisu without the alcohol.

Easy Tiramisu

Ingredients:

3/4 cup brewed coffee, room temperature

1 (8 ounce) package marscarpone, softened

3/4 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons vanilla extract

2-3 tablespoons sugar

20 ladyfingers

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions:

In a medium bowl, stir coffee and half of the marscarpone together until well blended and all of the chunks are gone. In a different bowl beat the heavy cream and vanilla until it stiff peaks form (until it becomes whipped cream). Beat remaining marscarpone cheese into the whipped cream until well blended. Add sugar to taste (you want it to be sweet, but not too sweet it will ruin the tiramisu). Place 10 lady's fingers at the bottom of a bread baking pan. Pour half of the coffee mixture over lady's fingers. Smooth half of the whipped cream mixture over those. Repeat layer with the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle with cocoa powder.

YUM... now, FYI, it's not really tiramisu cause its not made with espresso and there are no eggs in it... but its soooo easy and good.

ETA... sometimes i brew espresso, but when im really lazy i just brew the coffee extra strong and it tastes fine

Light cramping is normal and even spotting is normal too so don't freak if you see that. I think it's called implantation bleeding or something like that. If you've had problems in the past i would definitely just take it easy the next couple of months and also get on some good prenatal vitamins. I hated them and had to take them at night 'cause they made me sick but they definitely help the baby.

Coffee on top of cookies,,,now that sounds yummy.

Just got back from taking Jessica to the doctor. She has bronchitis and sinuites, 4 prescriptions and a note to stay home from work.

Anything good on tv tonight?

Friday night is Ghost Whisperer. Also that new vampire one is supposed to be on Fridays too. Gotta check that out.

Anyone see any of the new shows and if so how do you like them.

I find it hard to sit and watch t.v. these days, too anxious.

Have a great weekend!

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

I kinda wish I had TV at home tonight. The local theater is playing a play instead of a movie tonight, and my local video rental place is moving locations this weekend. Waaaah!

All the more reasons to focus on midterms.

I got another piece of homework done so sweet...

I told Waleed to give me space for midterms because I would turn into a crazy lady and I know he gets busy and quiet during Ramadan anyways. At the same time I miss him. hmmm.... oh well.... that's how the next few months...years... may go with this visa process.
