Alcoholic whipped cream is just a damn great thing!

:9 :bounce:

and how is your Friday going?

Where should I look for some?
My Friday is going great. I just woke up from a nap. Damn telemarketers!

:hi:

(well- the portion that I didn't eat, anyway!) I've been tempted to take a nap, but I have to get my house tidied up for company.

I'm sure your company will enjoy the treat!
Maybe you have time for a very short nap, 30 minutes of sleep is a big help sometimes.

Tons of carbon waiting to be released from the permafrost is a little easier to process now.

I need some.

It's yummy stuff! I'd give you a spoonful, if I could!

when I read the rest of the thread, to see if you've posted the instructions how to make it!

:7

Endless possibilities!

I like to splash a little Cassis into the whipped cream I use to top my berry shortcakes. :thumbsup:

I like to find fun, indulgent dessert recipes for when I have company this time of year.

This is incredible whether you wedge it into a profiterole and slather it in Tupelo Honey, layer it with tropical fruits in a parfait, or scoop it on a slice of warm peach pie.


Creme Fraiche Ice Cream

1/2 vanilla bean
2 cups creme fraiche
1 cup half-and-half
2/3 cup sugar
6 egg yolks

Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the fine black seeds into a medium saucepan. Add the vanilla bean pod, creme fraiche, half-and-half and sugar, and warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks just until blended, then whisk in about one-quarter of the warm half-and-half mixture. Return the yolk mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard coats the spoon, about 10 minutes. Strain the custard into a medium bowl to remove any lumps and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until fully chilled. When cold, pour the mixture into an ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until set, at least 2 hours.

We'll keep 911 on speed dial just in case !

12 hour shifts bite!

why couldn't we have been born rich instead of good-looking?

Is that a possibility? :P

I'm glad, in a very selfish kind of way, that i'm not the only one with such horrible hours. I'm sorry.
:hi:

:hi::hug:

then it has to put itself in the hands of the higher power.
(Just winging it; I'm rather rusty on the precepts of AA as the alcoholics have kindly moved out of my life.)

And running out of time :cry:
