<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thank you to Emily for all of the time and energy you have put into keeping this blog up-to-date and organizing this group of ladies! It's a unique opportunity to get a bunch of middle-aged (can I say that?) women together to get their creative juices flowing and host beautifully themed dinners with amazing foods. I think I can speak for everyone when saying we love you and all that you do for others. We will miss having you sit across the table chatting and taking pictures. Feel free to come crash a few future dinners!</b></span></span><br />

Emily and Mandy are no longer with our Gourmet Club group due to a surprising move across states by Emily. We will miss both of them a ton!! The baton has been passed to Alyssa to keep up the blog since the dinners will keep going back in Oregon/Washington. We must keep the legacy going!!</div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: center;">
(So prepare yourself for a post written entirely in 3rd person by me, Alyssa)</div>

This was Alyssa's first dinner with her new partner Tania! Alyssa and Tania handed out their invitations at the dinner before summer began. It was the perfect enticing invitation to keep us excited through the summer! </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">All courses were served at Alyssa's bar-height table to make it feel classically bistro. The table was decorated in a rustic feminine French decor with floral and pink china, pearls, lace, and some burlap. The place cards were little canvases Tania painted herself with the autograph as our name! So creative!</span></div>

Place the pie dough on one half of a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the bottom of the crust with the beaten egg white. Spread 1 tablespoon of the Dijon mustard on the crust, leaving a 1-inch border of plain pie crust all the way around the edge. Scatter half of the caramelized onions on the mustard then layer 2 rows of zucchini slices down the middle of the crust. Top with slices of tomato and sprinkle with thyme leaves and half of the feta cheese then drizzle with a little additional olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the long edges of the pie crust over and then the short edges over the zucchini slices. Repeat the process with the other crust.</span></div>

Lower the heat (or use a heat diffuser), add the pears and poach gently for up to an hour, basting the pears gently every so often. The idea is to very gently poach the fruit in the syrup, and not allow it to boil. The pears will remain intact and the flesh will be perfectly delicious. Allow to cool, refrigerate overnight if you wish. Serves 2, but simply add more pears for more serves.</span></div>

Stir over a low heat without boiling until the sugar dissolves. Bring the sauce to the boil, then simmer, uncovered and without stirring, for two to three minutes. Remove the pan from the stove and wait for the bubbles to die down before stirring in the cream and sea salt. This amount makes about 11/2 cups of caramel sauce. The sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for two or three days. Serve the sauce over the vanilla poached pears, gently reheated, or serve chilled.</span></div>

Whisk the milk, 1 cup of cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar and salt in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the spatula and almost boiling, 5 to 6 minutes. Immediately pour the milk mixture over the chocolate in the blender. Cover and hold the lid with a thick kitchen towel; blend until combined and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Divide the chocolate mixture among ramekins or small cups and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Whip the remaining ½ cup cream and the confectioner’ sugar with ta mixer or in the blender until soft peaks form. Top the chilled pots de crème with whipped cream. Topped with curled chocolate.</span></div>

Unroll the pastry and flatten it on the plastic wrapper.

Take the pastry from the fridge and cut in to 1/4 inch thick slices. Place flat on a parchment lined baking sheet, a couple of inches apart so they can grow in the oven! Brush the tops lightly with the melted butter and another light sprinkling of sugar. Bake for approximately 12 – 15 minutes or until the cookies puff up and turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them because they will burn very easily!</span></div>

<u class="">Yorkshire Pudding</u></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
3 eggs</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
3/4 cup whole milk</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
3/4 cup water</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
1 1/2 cup water</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
3/4 tsp salt</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
6 tbs butter (or beef fat)</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Mix eggs, milk, and water with a mixer. Sift the flour and salt and add to wet ingredients. Mix with mixer until bubbly. Cover and refrigerate 1 hr. </div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Heat oven to 450. Add 2 tbs melted butter to batter. Divide the remaining 4 tbs butter between 12 muffin tins and and place in oven for 3 min. Remove pan and quickly add batter to tins and return to oven. Cook for 15 minutes at 450. Reduce oven tempurature to 350 and cook for another 20 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN! They will look done about 10 minutes in but do NOT pull them out early. After 35 minutes of cooking time, pull them out and poke them with a fork or knife to release the steam so they don’t collapse. Serve immediately. (We served ours 10-15 minutes later and they were miraculously still good).</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">1 egg</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">1 1/4 Tbs. sugar</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">1/4 tsp. salt</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">1/4 tsp. vanilla extract</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">1 cup milk</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">1/2 cup flour</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">1 1/4 tsp. baking powder</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">6 slices Texas style toast, cut in half diagonally</span><br />
<br style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">In a large skillet, heat about 1/4” of vegetable oil over medium heat. In a shallow bowl or pie dish, whisk together all ingredients. Test oil heat by flicking some water into the frying pan. If it pops, reduce the heat. If it sizzles, it’s just right. Working quickly, take each 1/2 slice of bread and soak both sides in the egg mixture. If you leave it too long, it will get soggy, but you want to make sure enough of the egg mixture has soaked into the bread. Gently shake to remove excess batter and place in hot oil. Cook until puffed, golden brown, and a nice crispy crust has formed on each side (probably 3 – 5 minutes per side). Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel. While cooking remaining French toast, keep cooked pieces warm in a 200 degree oven.</span><br />
<br style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">When ready to serve, roll each piece in:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">1/3 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">2 tsp. cinnamon</span><br />
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px;">
Another Option:<br />
Slice the bread into strips for great French toast dippers. Serve with fresh raspberry jam and powdered sugar.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Coconut Syrup </span><br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1 cup light Karo Syrup<br />
1/4 cup water<br />
1/2 cup canned milk<br />
1 tsp. coconut extract<br />
1 tsp. butter extract<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Stir sugar, Karo and water together in saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer 2 minutes. Take off heat and let sit a minute. Add milk, coconut extract and butter extract.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px;">
Edited to add: For my family of 5 eaters I doubled the french toast part and made the syrup just like the recipe said, but we had plenty of syrup left over, so next time I think I'll half or 3/4 the syrup.</div>

You can use a spoon to pour the batter into the donut pan, or you can use the following technique. Fold down the top of a gallon-size zipper bag. Stand the bag up in a bowl or measuring cup. Pour the batter into the zipper bag. Get the air out of the bag and seal it up. Carefully cut just about 1/8″ of a corner of the bag. Pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each well up about 2/3 full. </div>

Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup, filling 2 ∕ 3 –3 ∕ 4 of the way full.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 5px;">Bake for 9–10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the pan and bake the remaining donut batter. Allow the donuts to slightly cool before glazing.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 5px;"><strong style="font-family: Solomon, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;">Make the chocolate glaze:</strong> Place the chocolate chips, butter, corn syrup, and water in a medium bowl. Melt in 20 second increments in the microwave, stirring after each time, until completely melted and smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze and then cover with sprinkles. I simply poured the sprinkles into a deep bowl and dipped the tops of the donuts into it. You'll likely have leftover ganache. It's great on ice cream!</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 5px;">Donuts taste best eaten the same day, though they may be covered tightly and stored at room temperature for 2 days.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 5px;"><strong style="font-family: Solomon, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;">Make ahead tip:</strong> You can freeze the unfrosted donuts for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, warm up to your liking in the microwave, and top with glaze.</li>

<b>SALAD – ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD WITH WARM CIDER VINAIGRETTE</b><br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>INGREDIENTS<br />
1 ½ pound butternut squash, peeled and ¾ inch diced<br />
Good olive oil<br />
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup<br />
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />
3 tablespoons dried cranberries<br />
¾ cup apple cider or apple juice<br />
2 tablespoons cider vinegar<br />
2 tablespoons minced shallots<br />
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard<br />
4 oz baby arugula, washed and spun dry<br />
½ cup walnuts halves, toasted<br />
¾ cup freshly grated parmesan<br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>
DIRECTIONS<br />
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. <br />
<br />
Place the butternut squash on a sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the maple syrup, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Roast the squash for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until tender. Add the cranberries to the pan for the last 5 minutes. <br />
<br />
While the squash is roasting, combine the apple cider, vinegar, and shallots in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cider is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Off the heat, whisk in the mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. <br />
<br />
Place the arugula in a large salad bowl and add the roasted squash mixture, the walnuts, and the grated Parmesan. Spoon just enough vinaigrette over the salad to moisten and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.</div>

<b>Cilantro-Lime Cucumber Salad</b><br />
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
Yield: 5-6 side serving</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
Ingredients</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
2 cloves garlic, finely minced</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
black pepper to taste</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
3 tablespoons olive oil (I recommend Tantillo )</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
2 cucumbers, very finely sliced (see photos)</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
4 tablespoons minced cilantro, to taste</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
Instructions</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
1.Dice the jalapeno and garlic and add to a medium-sized bowl.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
2.Add 3 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk to incorporate the 3 tablespoons olive oil. Set aside.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
3.Finely slice the cucumbers. Use a mandolin if you have it, but a very sharp knife will do the trick. (See photos below.) Add the cucumbers to the dressing and stir together.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
4.Finely mince the cilantro and add it to the bowl. Stir to combine. You can either let it sit in the fridge to marinate for a couple hours, or serve immediately.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
Make sure that you let the salad sit on the counter for a little while before serving if it's been in the fridge; the olive oil solidifies slightly when it's cold.</div>

<div style="color: #797979; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; margin-bottom: 3.8px;">
<b>For the Filling:</b></div>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px;">Cut all your ingredients into thin strips. Add some oil to a stir fry pan and bring to a medium heat. Once the oil glistens you can toss in the veggies. You only want to cook them for about 3 or 4 minutes. You don't want them too soft they are hard to work with. Remove and transfer to a plate or container till needed. It helps to let them cool so feel free to pop them in the fridge while the meat is marinating.</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; margin-bottom: 3.8px;">
<b>For the Pan Sauce:</b></div>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px;">In a frying pan over medium heat melt the butter. Add your favourite barbecue sauce, water, salt, pepper and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes or so. The sauce should reduce to about half. If you want it sweeter you can hit it with a touch of sugar. If you want it thicker you can hit it with a touch of tomato paste.</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #797979; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; margin-bottom: 3.8px;">
<b>Putting it all Together:</b></div>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px;">Remove your ingredients from the fridge about 20 minutes before you need them. Discard any excess marinade.</li>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px;">Now lay your steak strips on a cutting board. Take a handful of the veggies and pop them on the steak so they stick out the side. You're basically making a T shape with your steak and veggies. Now tightly roll the steak around the veggies and secure with a toothpick. Repeat until all your pieces are bundle up beautifully.</li>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px;">In a large flat bottomed pan add over medium heat add about a tablespoon of butter. If you're afraid of butter (seriously people, a little butter is awesome for pan frying) use oil.</li>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px;">Once the butter (or oil) glistens you can add the steak rolls, seam side down. Allow them to sear on one side, then turn over. Add ½ the pan sauce and cover the pan, cook for about 2 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness of your steak. Remove carefully from pan. Remove toothpicks. Plate the steak rolls. Pop the extra pan sauce in a small bowl.</li>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px;">Serve with a big old western style smile!</li>

DIRECTIONS: Heat a large grill pan or skillet to medium heat.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
Divide the hamburger meat into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval patty. Sprinkle each hamburger patty with salt and pepper. Add 2 Tablespoons of butter to heated skillet and let melt.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
Once butter is melted, add only 4-6 hamburger patties at a time, to ensure even cooking. Spread 1/2 a tablespoon of barbecue sauce over the tops of patties in the skillet.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
Grill patties on each side for 4-6 minutes. Once you flip to other side, add another 1/2 tablespoon of barbecue sauce and spread. Continue cooking until no longer pink and cooked through. Place cooked patties on a baking sheet, and keep in a warm oven until all they are all finished cooking.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
Place one cooked hamburger patty onto the bottom of dinner roll. (I buttered and toasted our dinner rolls first). On top of patty, add one half slice of cheese and more barbecue sauce. Top with crispy onion straws and the top half of dinner roll. Repeat with all others, and serve immediatley. Enjoy!</div>

<b>Preparation Instructions</b></div>
<div style="color: #727474; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
In a bowl mix peeled apples, lemon juice, sugar, flour and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside. For crumb topping, cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter, then add in brown sugar, oats, and ¼ teaspoon salt.</div>
<div style="color: #727474; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
Add apples to prepared pie shell and top with crumb topping. Cover crust edges with aluminum foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil from crust and place back into the oven for another 30 minutes. Chop pecans, and when five minutes remain, sprinkle them over the pie. Finish baking. Quiver with anticipation.</div>
<div style="color: #727474; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
Remove the pie from the oven and pour ½ jar (or more, if you’re feeling dangerous and naughty) of caramel topping over the top. Allow to cool slightly before serving, or don’t if you can’t wait. Eat. Enjoy. Smile. Cry. Then smile again.</div>

Pinch and twist the pleats to ensure the absolute closure of the stuffed dumpling. This holds the key to good tasting, juicy dumplings.

Close the lid, and allow steaming until the dumplings are cooked through, about 10-15 min. Take the dumplings off the steamer, and immediately serve. </span></div>

While sticky rice is steaming, mix together 1.5 cups coconut milk, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Set aside to cool (for a more fancy preparation, you can strain the coconut milk in a cheesecloth before setting to cool, but this is not necessary).

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">First, work on the pie crust. Combine the flour, sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut the shortening in until it’s nice and crumbly.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mix together one beaten egg, vinegar, and 4 tbsp water. Whisk together in a large bowl and gradually add the flour mixture. Mix with a fork, adding the last tbsp water. Do not knead the dough as you want the little pieces of shortening to be in the dough, which helps the flakiness.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Form the dough into a ball and wrap tight in plastic wrap.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Next, do the apple filling. Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pinch salt. Put 1 1/2 cups water in a pot and add the dry ingredients, using your (very clean) hand to break up the cornstarch in the water.</span></div>
</li>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Add the apples and heat on high and boil for two minutes, stirring constantly. Mixture will thicken. Lower heat and simmer covered for 8-10 minutes. If it’s too thick, add more water.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Next, make the goat cheese filling. Using a whisk, combine the goat cheese, sour cream, 3 tbsp sugar, and honey until smooth.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Fill the center of the tarts with the apple filling, leaving some of the goat cheese visible on the sides. It should be firm enough to support the filling. Bake for 20 minutes.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Eat while still warm. If you use a muffin pan, baking time may change and you’ll be able to make more with the amount of dough. Start with 10 minutes and check the goat cheese filling’s firmness, adding 5 minutes at a time until done. For the second bake, check your crust color at 10 minutes, adding 5 or 10 minutes as needed.</span></div>

With a 4-inch fluted cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible from the dough. If the dough becomes too soft to work with, return to the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Gather scraps into a ball, and roll out dough as before. Again, cut out as many rounds as possible.</span></div>

In a deep-fryer, heat oil to 350F (or in a large, heavy skillet, heat 1 in of oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350F). Cook the pies in batches, turning them occasionally with tongs or a slotted spoon, until crisp and golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer pies to a paper towl-lined baking sheet to drain; keep warm in the over. Return oil to 350F between batches. Serve warm dusted with confectioners’ sugar.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;"><b><i>Peanut Butter
Chocolate Pot de Creme</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"><br />
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter<br />
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips<br />
1 egg<br />
4 egg yolks<br />
1 1/2 cups heavy cream<br />
1 cup milk<br />
1/3 cup granulated sugar<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Preheat oven to 325
degrees, place an oven rack in the center of the oven.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Place the peanut butter and
chocolate in a large bowl and set aside.<br />
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and egg yolks; set aside.<br />
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. <br />
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, whisking to dissolve all of the sugar. <br />
Remove from heat.<br />
In a very slow, steady stream, whisk half of the cream mixture into the eggs.
Be sure to whisk constantly and pour slowly to prevent the eggs from
scrambling. Once combined, whisk in the remaining cream mixture. <br />
Pour the mixture over the peanut butter and chocolate. <br />
Let sit for 3 to 4 minutes, then gently whisk until smooth and thoroughly combined,
about 1 minute. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Divide the custard
between 12 (3-ounce) ramekins. Place the ramekins in a roasting pan. Pull out
the oven rack and place the pan in the center of the rack. Carefully fill the
pan with enough water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins, being
cautious not to splash or spill water on top of the custard. Place a piece
of foil over the tops of the custard cups. You may need to cut it to fit inside
the pan to lay on top of the ramekins.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Bake for <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>50-55 minutes, or until only a small
circle in the center is still liquid.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Carefully remove the
ramekins from the roasting pan and place on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for
about 45 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 4 hours.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Once cooled, you can
garnish with ganache, whipped cream, and/or mini peanut butter cookies.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Form into a somewhat flattened ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill. (this is a good one to make the night before, or if it’s summer time make dough during day and cook at night)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<span style="color: black;">by Corinne</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
Melt together over low heat -</div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<b>2 sticks of butter or margarine</b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<b>16 oz. of crunchy peanut butter</b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
In a 2 qt. bowl stir together -</div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<b>3 1/2 cups of Rice Krispies</b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<b>1 lb. of powdered sugar</b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
Pour the melted peanut butter mix over the Rice Krispies mix and gently mix it with a large wooden spoon.<b> </b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
This is the part that the kids love to help with. They will happily wash their hands if they know they get to help with this fun job! Using your hands, form the Peanut Butter mix into 1 inch balls. (I like them to be small enough to eat in one bite if so desired. Also, you get a better peanut butter/chocolate ratio that way.) </div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
Melt, carefully stirring over low heat - </div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<b>1 package of semi-sweet chocolate chips</b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<b>1/2 bar of **parafin wax </b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<b> </b>**Parafin wax is found by the home canning supplies. It is perfectly edible, and in this recipe is used to give the chocolate a shiny, glossy appearance. It could be left out, if you prefer. I have always used it.</div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
Using a slotted, metal spoon, dip and roll the balls in the chocolate. Place and cool on wax paper or a Silpat.</div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
Store in a tightly covered container. I would think that they would keep for a week or two, but they never last more than a few days around here, so I couldn't tell you for sure.</div>

Mandy and Emily--our hostesses for the evening! <br />
<br />
Tiny bit of trivia--Mandy recently opened her own Shine Hair Studio, and she cuts hair for lots of us in the group. She found out about the spot for her shop at our last Gourmet Club dinner, the Death by Chocolate dinner. Carrie mentioned that they had an opening in their dental office building. See, good things really do come of these dinners. It's a good thing for women to put their heads together and solve the worlds' problems, one bite at a time. For Mandy, November was a busy month for sure . . . opening her shop and hosting a gourmet dinner. She did both with great style!<br />
<br />
Emily's home was the perfect, beautiful, fun place for a dinner party, as always. <br />
<br />
These two are charming gracious hosts who make it look so easy.<br />

These little cactus plants were part of the table décor, and we got to take them home. Mandy borrowed some of the other Cacti from her neighbor, who was very skeptical about letting his cactus babies out of his sight. Luckily no harm was done. :) Emily found the perfect Fiesta fabric in Boise Idaho. Nothing like a little road-trip to get what's hard to find in our neck of the woods.<br />

The take home gifts were so fun! A box full of the most amazing, delicious chocolate cookies--several different types, some almond roca chocolates (YUM!), the cute chocolate sign, and our chocolate name place holders. (My little kids keep trying to eat the candle, thinking it's candy.) I loved all of the chocolate wisdom they shared on the walls, the signs, and the take home containers. Yes indeed, chocolate is the answer to every question.<br />
<br />
This was such a beautiful, fun, decadent, delicious evening! Thank you Brenda and Carrie!<br />

<strong><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Pork Tenderloins</span></u></strong><br />
photo and recipe from the Foodie Sisters<br />
<br />
1 package of pork tenderloins (2 tenderloins total about 2-2.5lbs)<br />
4 garlic cloves, quartered/sliced/slivered<br />
1/4 cup soy sauce<br />
2 tablespoon country dijon mustard (whole grain mustard)<br />
4 tablespoon honey<br />
2 tablespoon fresh orange juice<br />
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or Herbs de Provence<br />
freshly ground pepper, to taste<br />
3 tablespoon olive oil<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<br />
Take tenderloins out of package. Rinse and pat dry. Spray a 9x13 baking dish and place tenderloins inside.<br />
Use a paring knife and poke holes on the top side of the tenderloins, about an inch deep. Place a garlic piece into each hole.<br />
(Sorry I forgot to get a picture, but you can see <a href="http://lickthebowlgood.blogspot.com/2009/06/oink-oink.html" target="_blank">Monica's</a>.)<br />
Make the marinade next. In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together
everything except for olive oil. Then slowly drizzle in the oil while
whisking. Pour marindade over pork and b<br />
ake, uncovered, for 45 minutes, basting once halfway through cooking process.<br />
Once removed from the oven, let pork rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before cutting in.<br />
Don't forget to pour the sauce over it. The sauce is heavenly!<br />

In a bowl combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, coconut milk and eggs together and mix well.

Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with spray grease. Cut the French bread in to 1/2" cubes and put them into the pumpkin mix very gently toss to help the bread absorb all the liquid. Pour into the baking dish. If you are doing the chips and raisins, sprinkle them over the top and gently press them into the bread.</div>

Bake for 45-50 minutes. If you stick a butter knife into the center of the pudding and it pulls out mostly clean, then it is done. It is recommended to let it sit for about 45 minutes to cool. It falls apart completely if you dish it up right away. It is delicious warm with a fair amount of carmel sauce drizzled over each serving, and then topped with freshly, sweetened Whipping Cream.</div>

In mid-May, Brittany delivered to each of us Gourmet Gals these darling pear invitations. The brown tags went well with the chocolate/nuts on the pear. Nicely done, Brittany! Looks great, tastes great, too.<br />

Brittany and GG were our "pear"-fect hosts for a lovely early summer gourmet dinner! <br />
<br />
When we arrived they escorted us all out to the back deck.<br />
<br />
They hosted their dinner last year outdoors, too, at GG's parents' house. This year we were outdoors at Brittany's fun new house. Her backyard is beautiful, intimate, and perfect. We all loved the atmosphere. GG and Brittany added just the right touches for simple yet lovely décor. Mother Nature does good work, too, especially that time of year in Oregon. Everything was green!<br />

Fresh flowers and candles with an occasional pear made for a fun fancy yet casual centerpiece. The lime green table runners added a nice touch and brought it all together, too. Brown, burlap, twine, and green. These colors tied right in with their pear theme. I love how they spray-painted the pears with gold food spray! The three bigger pears in the middle they borrowed from Alisha. She bought them a couple of years ago from the Red Store on the corner of 282nd and Powell, which we all hope will re-open someday!!<br />

The menu was printed on kraft paper holding the silverware and napkin altogether. It looked like something right off of Pinterest! Beautifully done. The little white flower tucked by the knife was typical of their many sweet, pretty touches throughout the evening.<br />

I think this is our best group picture yet! Mother Nature was doing her good work again, helping us out with great natural lighting and a pretty backdrop. And it's almost like people planned to "coordinate their outfits" with lots of stripes, shades of grey/black, and pops of bright pink and blue. I love it when that happens! <br />

These were a bit soft, an overnight marinade is probably too much. 1 hour would have been better.</div>

<h3>
Directions:</h3>
<div class="ecxinstructions">
Cut pears horizontally into 3 or 4 slices depending on the size of your pears. Use a paring knife to cut out the cores. The pieces should look like O's. Leave the stem on the pop piece. Brush slices of pear with lemon juice to keep it from browning.<br />Toss watercress, pecans, and blue cheese with dressing until coated.<br />Reassemble the pear, vertically, with the watercress salad in between each slice. Once assembled, drizzle with honey, and serve!<br /><div>

Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Place the sugar on a plate and press the pear slices into it. Place the slices on baking trays lined with baking paper and bake for 15 minutes, turn and cook for a further 15 minutes. Cool on wire racks until crisp. I did this and then dehydrated them. I wonder if it would not have been better to just bake them and let them cool for several days on the racks. </div>

When we arrived we entered through the "First Class Entrance" into the first class dining room.</div>

They had curtains draped all around the dining room to create more intimacy, and to separate it from the staging area. Believe me, they had a lot of "staging" to do for this dinner. (That is Kevin behind the black curtain, Alyssa's husband, who was also dressed as a waiter. He did an excellent job of serving us!) </div>

On the Titanic there was a different wine or champagne served with each course. Since our group does not drink alcohol they served "mock cocktails" and sparkling cider types of beverages. In order to accommodate all those drinks, each place setting had several beautiful goblets. Corinne bought the silver ones from the antique shop owned by Tori and Holly's brother. (They had borrowed them from him for the <a href="http://thegourmetescape.blogspot.com/2013/02/in-december-we-gathered-for-christmas.html" target="_blank">Downton Abbey Christmas Party</a>.) They were perfect, and added a lot of beauty to the table.<br />

On the mantel they had framed photographs of the Titanic, the musician's who played till the end, and bowls of fruit. The guests on board described "large cut glass bowls of fruit placed all around the dining room."</div>

A couple of things they learned from the book they used were that "American Red Roses" were all over the dining room, and that the candles were covered with little lamp shades. Corinne and Alyssa made these adorable little candle shades out of vellum.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Each place setting had a picture and bio of one of the first class female passengers placed in a cork. Luckily we all survived the sinking. The napkins were folded like little boats, and the place cards were simple and formal. (The cut glass formal goblets came from the Dollar Store - so if you are in need of some nice goblets check out your local Dollar Store!)</div>

The original menu from the last night on the titanic was much longer than this, but we are not as glutinous in our modern culture. Dinner is not the same event that it used to be. They were kind to our belt lines and condensed the down to eight courses from ten. </div>

For example they combined the "wine and cheese" course with the hor d'oeuvres course and did a cranberry mocktail with a Brie Crostini Trio. Strawberry basil crostini, roasted grape & brie crostini with honey and sea salt, grilled pear, honey and brie crostini. These were so delicious with the perfect balance of sweet and savory. </div>

They even made labels to put on the bottles for the sparkling cider. They are a mimic of what the pictures they found of the personal label that the Titanic had for its wine. They also had a photograph of our Captain.<br />

In order to match the custom and culture of the time, they had every course come out on huge silver platters, and let each diner serve themselves the portion they desired. Their platters with the garnish and artistry was amazing! We were excited to see how each course was going to come out.</div>

For the poultry course they served the exact recipe from the Titanic. It is described as the most famous and delicious dish served on the first class menu. The chefs on the Titanic were all French, and this dish, Chicken Lyonnaise, derives from the south of France. The vegetable marrow farci is basically a stuffed zucchini. It is also the exact recipe from the Titanic. The flavors of this course were so perfectly blended.</div>

For the salad course they deserted the actual Titanic menu, and went for this Nectarine Caprese. The real menu served a cold asparagus salad at this point.

I am so glad they did this! These not only looked so amazing, but were truly delicious and satisfying.

Dessert was fancy and exciting! Creme Brulee, French Painted Eclairs and Waldorf Pudding with candied walnuts.

Add the onions, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are translucent. Reduce the heat just a touch, add the barley, garlic, and thyme, and sauté for another 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, followed by the broth, tomato paste, vinegar, bay leaf, and I would start with ¼ teaspoon of salt and the miso if using. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and allow the soup to simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the barley is nice and tender. Season to taste with additional salt (see my notes in the post above) and black pepper to taste.</span></div>

Remove from heat and pour through a stainless steel sieve into a bowl. Cover the surface with plastic wrap, poke a few small slits in the plastic with the tip of a paring blade allowing steam to escape while cooling. Refrigerate (curd will thicken).</span></div>

Place over low heat to dissolve the sugar, then increase the heat to medium high and boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 235 degrees. (Wash down any sugar crystals slinging to the sides of the pan with a brush dipped in cold water.) Near the end of the boiling time, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add the 2 tablespoons sugar, and continue to whip until the whites are stiff but not dry. With the mixer running, pour the syrup onto the whipped whites. Continue to whip on medium speed, about 3 minutes more. Mixture will thicken, cool and form glossy, stiff peaks. Add the vanilla. Cool to room temperature, about 8 to 10 minutes, then frost cake right away.</span></div>

<u>Directions<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
To make the meatballs: Stir the first 6 ingredients in a
large bowl to blend. Stir in the cheese, beef and pork. Using 1 1/2 teaspoons
for each, shape the meat mixture into 1-inch-diameter meatballs. Place on a
baking sheet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
To make the soup: Bring the broth to a boil in a large pot
over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and curly endive and simmer until the
meatballs are cooked through and the curly endive is tender, about 8 minutes.
Whisk the eggs and cheese in a medium bowl to blend. Stir the soup in a
circular motion. Gradually drizzle the egg mixture into the moving broth,
stirring gently with a fork to form thin stands of egg, about 1 minute. Season
the soup to taste with salt and pepper.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve. Sprinkle soup with
parmesan cheese if desired.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Note: I added about a ½ cup of Acini di pepe pasta with
the meatballs.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Sprinkle chicken with salt
and pepper. In a shallow bowl or plate combine the flour and Essence and stir
to combine thoroughly. Quickly dredge the chicken breast halves in the seasoned
flour mixture, shaking any excess flour. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Melt 1 tablespoon of butter
and 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add
chicken halves (You can cook all six at one time if they fit, or you can do
three and three, adding an additional tablespoon of butter and oil for the
second batch if necessary) and cook until golden brown, about 1 ½ minutes per
side. Set the chicken aside on a plate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Add 1 tablespoon of oil to
the skillet. Add the shallot and garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30
seconds. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Add a tablespoon of the olive
oil, if necessary. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Add the mushrooms and sauté
until tender and the juices evaporate, about 3 minutes. Se<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=713060854236571822" name="_GoBack"></a>ason
with salt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Add the Marsala. Simmer until
the Marsala reduces by half, about 2 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Add the broth and the
rosemary leaves. Simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Wisk the ½ cup of heavy cream
with the 1 ½ tablespoon of cornstarch. About half way through the above
mentioned 4 minutes simmering; mix the cream into the sauce mixture until
thickened. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Return the chicken to the
skillet. Cook until just heated through, turning to coat, about 1 minute. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Stir in remaining 1
tablespoon of butter into the sauce. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626;">-Season with salt and pepper
to taste.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

cocoa according to the instructions above – using water instead of milk and
using 1 ½ the amount of hot chocolate powder you would normally use to make a
cup for drinking. Allow the hot cocoa to cool while you are preparing the rest of
the recipe. Once it is lukewarm, add the vanilla and imitation rum extract. Due
to the high cocoa to water ratio, whisk the cocoa mixture frequently to keep

water. Let it come to a simmer while you proceed with the recipe. In a medium
bowl (an appropriate size to be placed on the pan that is heating), beat the
egg yolks at low speed with a mixer (hand or electric) until just combined. Add
the ½ cup sugar and salt and beat at medium-high speed until pale yellow, 1 1/2
to 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula once or twice. Add ¼
cup cream to the yolks and beat at medium speed until just combined, 20 to 30

water that has come to a simmer. Cook the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly
and scraping along the bottom and sides of the bowl with a heatproof rubber
spatula, until the egg yolk mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 4 to 7
minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir vigorously to cool slightly,

</span>-Add the mascarpone cheese to the cooled mixture and beat at medium
speed until no lumps remain, about a minute. Transfer the mixture to a large
bowl and set aside. In the now-empty bowl (no need to clean the bowl), beat the
½ cup heavy whipping cream at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Using a
rubber spatula, fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Then
gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. Set
the mixture aside.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span>-Give the hot cocoa mixture a good whisk to combine. Pour it into a
shallow baking dish like a pie plate. Dip 1 ladyfinger into the hot cocoa at a
time, allowing it to soak up the hot cocoa for about 1-2 seconds per side.
Transfer each ladyfinger immediately to an 8-inch square baking dish. Lay the
cookies side-by-side to create one even layer. You may have to trim/break the
soaked cookies to fit the pan. After finishing the first layer of ladyfinger
cookies, spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the
ladyfingers, spreading to the edges of the pan. Using a small fine-mesh strainer,
sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of the natural cocoa powder over the mascarpone layer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

process with the ladyfingers, creating one more layer of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ladyfinger cookies over the
mascarpone/cocoa layer. Spread evenly with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Dust with the final 1/2 tablespoon of natural cocoa powder. Refrigerate for at
least 4 hours, best overnight, to chill and set. This can be made up to 1 day
in advance. Cut into squares and serve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<u>Directions<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
-Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to
350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment
paper.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
-Pulse the almonds in a food processor until finely
chopped, but not pasty. Stir together the nuts, flour, zest and salt in a large
bowl.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
-Put the sugar, cream, corn syrup and butter in a small
saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to
a rolling boil and sugar is completely dissolved. Continue to boil for 1
minute. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, then pour mixture into almond
mixture and stir just to combine. Set aside until cool enough to handle, 30
minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
-Scoop rounded teaspoons (for 3-inch cookies) or rounded
tablespoons (for 6-inch cookies) of batter and roll into balls.<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;"> </span>Place on prepared baking
sheet, leaving about 3 to 4 inches between each cookie since they spread.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
-Bake 1 pan at a time, until the cookies are thin and an
even golden brown color throughout, rotating pans halfway through baking time,
about 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to
racks to cool. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<u>Optional chocolate topping</u><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
-Put the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring a
saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very low simmer; set the bowl
over, but not touching, the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until melted
and smooth. (Alternatively, put the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
Melt at 50 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 1 minute.<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;"> </span>Stir, and continue heat
until completely melted, about 1 to 2 minutes more.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> -For sandwiches: Drop about 1/2 teaspoon (we used at least
1 teaspoon) chocolate onto on the flat side of half of the cookies and press
together with remaining halves. Return to rack and let chocolate set.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
-For chocolate decor: Drizzle melted chocolate over
Florentines as desired. Set aside at room temperature until chocolate is set.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Busy baker's tips: Store baked cookies carefully,
separated by parchment or waxed paper, in an air-tight container for up to 3
days. Florentines are best stored separated from moist cookies and cakes.<o:p></o:p></div>

Lightly
butter two pieces of bread. Flip the bread over as the buttered side will
become the outside of the sandwich. Place slices of brie on one piece of bread,
top with a sprinkle of raspberries (and chopped nuts if you are using
them) and a drizzle of honey. Place the sandwich on a preheated panini
press and cook for just a few minutes or until crispy and golden brown on the
outside. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving.<o:p></o:p></div>

each interval until melted and smooth, set aside to cool slightly. In a mixing
bowl, using an electric hand mixer set on medium speed, whip cream cheese until
fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in raspberry jam, powdered sugar and raspberry
extract. Pour melted chocolate chips into mixture then using a rubber spatula,
fold until well combine. Spread mixture over cooled brownies. Cover baking dish
tightly with plastic wrap then place in freezer for 15 - 20 minutes to allow
truffle filling to set slightly (truffle filling won't ever set fully, mine was
still soft and slightly runny but set enough to cut into squares after 15
minutes of freezing. Chill longer to further set if desired).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In December we gathered for a Christmas "Dinner at Downton". Alisha and Emily planned out the evening and then everyone helped with different parts so that it wasn't too much work for any one person during the already hectic holiday season. Tori decorated the table and chandelier for us and it looked perfect. She also borrowed some awesome silver goblets from her mom that added the perfect touch to the table. It was simple and elegant, very Downton-ish.</div>

Prepare the basic mixture by stirring one generous tablespoon of flour into 1oz of butter melted in a heavy saucepan. Gradually add just under ½pt of warmed milk, stirring until your mixture is quite smooth. Let this sauce cook very gently and slowly, stirring frequently, for close on 10 minutes. Now stir in 2oz of finely grated parmesan cheese (or if you prefer, 1oz each of parmesan and gruyère) and then the very thoroughly beaten yolks of 4 large eggs. Remove the mixture from the fire, and continue stirring for a few seconds. Now add a seasoning of salt (always to be added after the cheese) and quite a generous amount of freshly-ground pepper, plus if you like, a scrap of cayenne. This basic mixture can be made well in advance.</div>

When the time comes to make the souffle, preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas6. Have the shelf placed fairly low in the oven, and a baking sheet on the shelf. Butter 1½pt souffle dish (the size is important).</div>

Whisk the whites of the eggs, in a large scrupulously dry and clean bowl, until they stand in peaks on the whisk and look very creamy. Tip half the whites on top of the basic mixture. With a palette knife cut them into it again, slowly rotating the bowl with your left hand, lifting rather than stirring the whole mass. Add the remainder of the whites in the same way. All this should take only a few seconds and as you pour the whole mixture, without delay, into the dish, it should look very bubbly and spongy, but if the whites have been over-beaten or rammed into the main mixture with a heavy hand, it will already begin to look flat. With a palette knife, mark a deep circle an inch or so from the edge, so that the souffle will come out with a cottage-loaf look to the top. Put it instantly into the oven.</div>

As to timing, it depends so much upon the size and type of both the oven and the dish that it is misleading to give precise details. I can only say, as a general guide, that in the oven of a representative domestic gas cooker, this souffle is perfectly cooked at 200C/400F/Gas 6 in 23 to 35 minutes.</div>

*Makes 36 or more bites, depending on size</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
INGREDIENTS:<br />
36 Oreo Cookies, divided<br />
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter<br />
4 packages (8-ounces each) cream cheese, softened<br />
1 cup granulated sugar<br />
1 cup sour cream<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
4 large eggs<br />
4 ounces semisweet chocolate<br />
4 ounces white chocolate</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
DIRECTIONS:</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br />
Preheat the oven to 325°F.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil, with ends extending over sides. Finely crush 24 Oreo cookies. Melt 1/4 cup butter; mix with crumbs. Press onto bottom of prepared pan.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar with mixer until blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each just until blended. Chop remaining cookies. Gently stir into batter; pour over crust.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Bake the cheesecake for about 35-40 minutes or until the sides are set and the center is almost set. Cool completely on a wire rack in the pan.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
When the cheesecake is completely cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. When chilled, remove the cheesecake using the foil overhang and cut the cheesecake into bite-sized pieces. Place the cheesecake bites on a wax or parchment paper-lined baking tray. Melt the semisweet chocolate and white chocolate in separate bowls (I use the microwave on 50% power, stirring frequently). Pour the melted chocolate into a ziploc bag, one for the semisweet chocolate, one for the white chocolate. Snip a small corner off the corner of the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the cheesecake bars. Chill the bars until ready to serve. Alternately, the drizzled bites can be frozen in an airtight container for up to a month. Let them defrost in the refrigerator and serve chilled.</div>

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
Lemon Curd</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
5 large eggs<br />
1/2 c. sugar</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
1/2 c. fresh lemon juice</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
4t. lemon zest</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
Pinch of salt</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
To make the lemon curd combine all the lemon curd ingredients in a medium sauce pan over medium heat whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and registers 170 degrees, do not boil. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap so that the plastic wrap is touching the top of the curd to keep a film from forming. Cool in refrigerator until at least room temperature.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
For the crust combine the nuts, sugar and flour in a blender or food processor and process until blended. Add butter; blend until mixture forms coarse crumbs.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
Press into the bottom and up the sides of two greased 4-in. tartlet pans with removable bottoms. Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown (11 minutes was perfect for mine). Cool completely.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
For the filling beat cream cheese until fluffy in a mixing bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar, citrus juices and peels; beat until blended. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
The lemon curd isn't part of the original recipe, I added it myself. So I just spooned in as much lemon curd as I wanted in the bottom of the crust and then filled the rest of the crust with the citrus/cream cheese filling. Refrigerate for at least and hour. Garnish with whipped cream and a small slice of citrus fruit.</div>

Our final Gourmet Club dinner of 2012 was on November 15th. It was amazing. Our hosts were Brenda, Alyssa and Corinne. They did the perfect job of transporting us to a far away land with the food, decor, lighting and music. We received these scroll invites wrapped up in a box a few weeks before the big event "A Night in Delhi".</div>

The ambiance was serious amazing. The dining area had a gorgeous canopy over it with lights, there was Indian music playing and they had even moved out a bunch of furniture and made a little lounge area for appetizers. I loved the decor over the light made with ribbons!</div>

First we had appetizers in the lounge. There were samosas which are fried chickpea and sweet potato dumplings with three difference types of chutney; ginger pear, sweet tomato, and coconut mint. All three were delish! We also had Rotis which is unleavened flatbread and a refreshing raspberry mint spritzer.</div>

Then it was onto the main course which included Chicken Tikka Masala (chicken pieces in a spiced yogurt sauce), Lamb Kofta Curry (lamb meatballs in a tomato curry), Gobhi Alu (curried cauliflower and potato medley), Cucumber Raita (spiced cucumber yogurt), Naan (leavened flatbread) and Coconut Basmati Rice. They also served a Mango Lassi (smoothie/drink) with our meal. Everything was so good. The Tikka Masala was a favorite for sure. </div>

The top picture isn't as lovely because I had already taken a bite but I wanted to include the flatbread in the picture when it arrived. The second pic shows their beautiful presentation but is missing the Naan.</div>

Last but most certainly not least was dessert. Three of them and all were amazing. Coconut Kheer (coconut vanilla bean rice pudding), Figgy Bread Pudding with Coconut Ice Cream, and Mango Cheesecake. Really all three were out of this world, we were all so sad that we couldn't eat it all and wished we had to go boxes (next year for sure!).</div>

In August Alisha sent an email to all of us in Gourmet Club asking for help. She had been asked by our Stake Relief Society Presidency (Women's Organization in our church) asking her to be in charge of a dinner for 200 women. It was a huge task to feed all the women from 7 congregations in our area, before a General Broadcast to all the women in our church. Alisha told them she would only do it if we helped her. GG and Brittany were off the hook because we wanted them to focus on the Gourmet Club dinner that they were preparing for us in September. After most of us agreed that we could help her, she said yes.<br />

On September 25th we had the great pleasure of attending a Southern dinner party hosted by GG and Brittany.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We received postcard style invites explaining that we would be enjoying "A Night in the South", and to dress appropriately. We had fun pretending to be Southern Belle's.<br />

We were then guided to the back patio for the salad and entree courses. Along the walkway and around the patio there were candles hanging in Mason jars with purple ribbon. It added so much ambiance. My favorite part was that they had rented an outdoor patio heater to keep us warm while we ate. On a September evening in Oregon it's hard to keep warm.</div>

And now for something very special! The entree is served!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lobster Tail (YES! Lobster Tail!), Cole Slaw and a cheese and herb roll. Brittany was out on the patio with us while we ate our watermelon salads she was grilling the lobster tails. She did a fabulous job. Her pregnant brain did forget to put her apron on, but no matter because she did a great job of cooking our lobster to perfection! It was a special treat, and I can't wait to use this recipe at home.</div>
