Rissa - I'm looking for a good tiramisu recipe for a holiday meal. Would you mind sharing your recipe? Today was homemade pizza - Greek for DH and I (olive oil, roma tomatoes, mushrooms, yellow peppers, red onions, feta and greek olives with a dash of shredded asiago thrown in. Just a pepperoni (turkey), mushroom and onion one for DS.

NP Teach. It's fairly easy, the tricky part is figuring out your booze and coffee limits and the only way to do that is to make it with different amounts and keep notes. Personally I like a light touch with both. 1) Whisk together 1 lb of mascarpone, 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons of cognac (or amaretto if you prefer) until smooth. 2) In a chilled metal bowl whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form then fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture. 3) Quickly dip ladyfingers (will need 24 plus in total) in a cup of brewed/cooled expresso and arrange on bottom of 8' square pan. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over the top then sprinkle with shaved bittersweet chocolate (will need 1/2 cup total). 4) Repeat #3 then cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for the day (preferably overnight but at least 4-6 hours). Notes: I find layering the ladyfingers and then using a pastry brush to apply the expresso works better. Maybe I am just slow but my ladyfingers always fall apart in the coffee. LOL Also my kids prefer cocoa powder to the shaved chocolate but the shavings look nice as a finishing touch on the top. Lastly, I am a true cake-eater so I spread out the mixture and make 3 layers instead of just two.

Went with a Jamaican friend to a Carribean Bistro for supper. YUM! She had the oxtail dinner while I had the curried beef dinner. And the drink was a sparkling pear juice that was to die for.

I had a strange dinner. Two things were looking so good to me. I had a brand new tube of Braunschweiger and a bag of butter and garlic croutons. So I made a Braunschweiger and crouton sandwich...LOL It was very delicious, and very crunchy

Couple garlic bread sticks. Caleb had a concert tonight and had to be dropped off early, with me and Kota going back less than an hour later, right around the same time Darren had to get ready to leave for school. Darren went and got something for dinner on his way to class and I stopped by the pizza place after the concert to pick up pizza and breadsticks (I can't eat the pizza.)
