Showoff Sunday!
Hello - Come on in and visit!
Today, I am pressed for time, so I only have two wonderful items to share with you! Enjoy!
"Cookies are made of butter and love."
-Norwegian Proverb
Hamentaschen Gift Box from Zingermans!
Hamentaschen are wonderful triangle-shaped pastries filled with slightly sweet fillings. They are traditionally eaten as part of the Jewish celebration of Purim, which runs 2/28/10 - 3/1/10.
For those of you that have visited before, you will know that I LOVE Zingermans! The only problem I have: they are not located in my town!! They are my go to for gifts of all kinds. After all, you can never go wrong with food!
"Once in a young lifetime one should be allowed to have as much sweetness as one can possibly want and hold."
-Judith Olney
Assorted Easter Candy from Williams-Sonoma are Easter basket staples in our home.
I usually have to purchase each of these delicious treats individually, but Williams-Sonoma made it easy for me this year and is selling a set of all three! The jelly beans are awesome and with flavors like tangerine, key lime, lemon and pink grapefruit - you can't go wrong! The malted eggs are the best I have ever had and my kids LOVE the sour bunnies!
Williams-Sonoma is another of my favorite shops and I am very lucky to have a Grand Cuisine located in my local mall! (They know me by name!)
Joke of the Day:
How do you get a kleenex to dance? … Put a little boogey in it.

Tasty Tuesday!
Hello!
I do not have much time today, so a recipe is not feasible. Instead I leave you with some of my favorite, tasty foods! Enjoy!
Turkey Joints
This delectable treat has been a staple in my home since birth. My mother even worked in the candy shop that creates these when she was a teenager!
Yes, the name is misleading, but don't be fooled. The only thing the feathered version and the candy version have in common is the name and perhaps a slight resemblance to each other.
This unique candy was created by, Nora's candy shop, located in my birth city, Rome, NY. They use an old time process and a secret formula to achieve the end result: A decadent chocolate and brazil nut "bone marrow" center that is coated with a delicate, shiny and crunchy sugar "bone" outer shell.
Turkey Joints come in several varieties: Original, Chocolate Covered, and Coco-Monds. They are only available from October through May, get yours while they last!
Stone Crabs
For those of you who like seafood - if you have never tried a stone crab, then you are missing out!!! I love crab to begin with and stone crabs are my favorite!!
For those of you unfamiliar with this tasty food, here is some information about stone crabs:
Name: Stone Crab (Menippe Mercenaria)
Meaning:
Menippe - Greek - meaning force or courage
Mercinaria - Latin - something of value
1.) To assure the survival of the species: Only one claw may be removed so the crab can defend itself.
2.) Egg bearing females are not allowed to be declawed.
3.) The crabs are captured in baited traps. No spears or hooks are allowed.
4.) 4 inches from the first joint to the tip is the minimum legal size, about two oz.
5.) A colossal can weigh 25 ounces or more.
6.) The large crusher claw can exert extreme pressure. As much as 19000 lbs. psi.
7.) Although their massive claws serve as deterrents, it has been reported that the stone crab falls prey to the octopus.
8.) Stone crab season in Florida runs from October 15th to May 15th.
9.) Stone crabs exhibit carnivorous feeding behavior. They have been known to resort to cannibalism while trapped.
10.) The claws make up half the weight of the whole crab, they are removed by carefully grabbing from the rear and twisting.
11.) The crab is returned to water and the claw regenerates.
12.) It takes between 12 to 24 months to reach legal size again.
Since I do not live in Florida anymore I have to have my stone crabs shipped to me. I always order from Billy's Stone Crab Restaurant in Hollywood Florida.
Have a great day and until tomorrow: Go Ahead & Indulge!

Friday Food Facts!
Hello!
Welcome to another edition of Friday Food Facts. I aim to stimulate not only your brain cells, but your taste buds as well!
Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate.
-Sandra Boynton
The Four Classes of Vegetarians:
1.) True Vegetarians: Does not eat anything from animals, cooked or processed.
2.) Lacto-Vegetarians: Eats dairy products.
3.) Ovo-Vegetarians: The only animal product eaten is eggs.
4.) Pesco-Vegetarians: Do not eat red meat, but will eat fish, chicken, eggs and dairy products
Stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Coincidence? I think not!
-Author Unknown
Coffee Facts:
1.) The world's rarest coffee, Kopi Luwak costs $300 a pound. It is grown in Indonesia.
2.) It takes almost 2,000 coffee cherries to provide enough beans for one pound of
roasted coffee.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who love chocolate, and communists.
-Leslie Moak Murray
Rice Facts:
1.) There are thousands, perhaps as many as 40,000, varieties of rice grown on every continent except Antarctica.
2.) In the USA, the average person consumes around twenty-five pounds of rice per year, with about four pounds of that attributed to the rice used for brewing beer.
Look, there's no metaphysics on earth like chocolates.
-Fernando Pessoa
Candy Facts:
1.) The Baby Ruth candy bar was named after the daughter of U.S. President Grover Cleveland in 1921.
2.) The Dutch consume the most candy, 65 pounds per person a year; Americans eat about 21 pounds a year.
I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts.
-Graham Kerr

Hello!
Welcome to Tasty Tuesday!!!
It is going to be short and sweet today! (no pun intended!)
I have a busy day ahead of me and I overslept!
So, now I have to rush!
Don't you just hate days like that?
Please Note: This recipe is not for the faint of heart. Please read through ENTIRE recipe and become familiar with it before attempting. If you do so, you will end up with a great finished product!
Enjoy!
Pistachio Torrone
Serving Size: Makes about 3 dozen candies
Active Time: 45 min
Total Time: 1 day (includes setting time)
Ingredients:
*1 1/2 cups clover honey
*1 1/2 cups sugar
*1/2 cup water
*3 large egg whites
*1/4 teaspoon salt
*1 1/2 teaspoons orange-flower water
*3/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
*2 1/2 cups salted, roasted unshelled pistachios

2.) Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, without stirring, washing any sugar crystals down side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water.
3.) Put thermometer into syrup and continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until it registers 310 to 315°F (upper end of hard-crack stage).
4.) When thermometer reaches 300°F, start beating egg whites with salt in mixer, beating until they hold soft peaks.
5.) Remove syrup from heat and let stand until bubbles dissipate.
6.) With mixer at low speed, slowly pour hot syrup into whites in a thin stream down side of bowl.
7.) Increase speed to high and beat until mixture has cooled to warm (mixture will rise, then fall), about 20 minutes.
8.) Add flower water and almond extract and beat 1 minute more.
9.) Stir in pistachios.
10.) Sprinkle a work surface with cornstarch (1 tablespoon).
11.) Spoon torrone mixture onto cornstarch and gently knead a few times with hands dipped in cornstarch.
12.) Pat torrone mixture into baking pan and top with a square of edible wafer paper, trimming to fit.
13.) Let stand at room temperature at least 8 hours.
14.) Run a sharp thin knife around edges of pan.

Torrone keeps in an airtight container in a dry place at cool room temperature 2 weeks.
I hope you have a great day!

Dear Kid Saturdays!
Dear My Little Men,
I love you!
It has been almost 2 weeks since Daddy left and I know you miss him. He misses you too!
Thank you for being such wonderful little men - it helps mommy more than you know.
I hope you had a good time on spring break! Going to Atlanta together was an adventure!
I feel badly that you guys became sick - but that is what happens when you don't eat well
and stay up too late!!
Our Easter egg hunt was so much fun - you guys took all the eggs!!!! I am hiding the candy,
you don't need to get tummy aches.
Have a great week! it will be nice to get back to a "Normal" routine now that spring break is over.
All my love,
Mom

Fabulous Finds for Friday!
Hello!
I want to wish you all a happy Friday!
There are so many things to be happy about - don't you agree?
I am happy for many things: my family, my health, and my life in general!
Another thing that makes me happy is food!
In moderation, food can be a wonderful source of happiness.
Today I would like to share some fabulous (food) finds or Friday!
Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity. ~Voltaire
Enjoy!

I want to wish you all a happy Friday!
There are so many things to be happy about - don't you agree?
I am happy for many things: my family, my health, and my life in general!
Another thing that makes me happy is food!
In moderation, food can be a wonderful source of happiness.
Today I would like to share some fabulous (food) finds or Friday!
Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity. ~Voltaire
Enjoy!
