Ok, so I am a day late in posting this since National Chocolate Chip day was actually Thursday. Oh well, it's been a busy week and it seems the pollen has been aggravating me more than usual lately. Somehow, I finally have a bit of energy back and I wanted to make sure everyone knew about National Chocolate Chip day!
Ok, if you don't know already, I am a bit of a ... um... chocoholic. There I said it. They say the first step iis admitting you have a problem, right? Although loving chocolate is not really a problem far as I see it. So, of course, when I heard about this national holiday I couldn't let it pass by without making something in honor of it. What kind of chocoholic would I be if I didn't pay tribute?
In honor of this great holiday (don't you love made up food holidays?), I revisited the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies and used a combination of white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chips. Of course, my family adores these cookies otherwise I wouldn't keep making them. They are the easiest cookies ever, so I don't even think twice when it's time to add to my cookie stash.
All you really need is a cold glass of milk and you've got the perfect chewy chocolate chip cookie. They stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 1 week (if they last that long), and the freeze really well.

Add to myYahoo!I am a fan of bananas, and this Banana-Rum Napoleon is a recipe to satisfy your dessert cravings, and it is low-fat to boot! I love napoleons, they work really well in a restaurant kitchen, because they are relatively easy to assemble, if you prep before hand, and the presentation looks very elegant, and your patrons or guests will think allot of time was spent
creating it.
Thanks to ian_ransley for use of his photo.

Sweet Nothings
Low Fat
Low Calorie Desserts
This recipe is adapted from Sweet Nothings by
Jill O'Connor. It makes 10 portions.
If you aren't feeling like bananas - You can
substitute peach, nectarine, or a favorite
berry puree - and flavor
with a liqueur of your choice.
It is better to prep the pastry in
advance(up to 24hrs ahead),
to speed up the production of this dessert.
The cream filling cannot be made more than
2 hrs ahead of time if using the original recipe.
If using real cream, you must make right before serving.
For The Pastry
VEGAN:
This dessert can easily be converted into a Vegan dessert: Use melted Earth's Balance in place of the cooking spray - or use soy milk to brush over the layers of phyllo (you might need to adjust baking times, so watch the pastry closely). Replace the "non-dairy topping" with silken tofu. Yum!

Add to myYahoo!So I already owe an update on what I'm about to post since this happened nearly three weeks ago, but I can't let it go unmentioned that Eric's backyard garden has officially been planted with the first of lots of delicious things, which promise to make this summer's barbecues all the better.
I took the day off on Friday a few weeks back and headed over to help do some planting, not realizing at all that the list of things a person can plant in one afternoon is actually quite long. After maybe 3 hours, during which Eric took on the unenviable task of digging out foot-long rhizomes of Japanese Knotweed from the end of his yard, I'd planted oregano, dill, three kinds of basil, Chioggia beets, Forellenschluss lettuce, Amish snap peas, black beauty and golden zucchini squash, and swiss chard.

The bonus was seeing all the sprouts from the seeds Eric had planted a couple weeks before that; they were springing up all over the place.

The trellis for the peas
Eric's built four raised beds this spring (one with the trellis), and I planted all the herbs in sunken containers and cinder blocks bordering his patio. Yep, this backyard is something to envy. And since I was last there, the garden's also acquired a three-stage composter and sawdust donated from a local hardware store.
The week after I planted all those seeds, we got torrential rain here in New York, which seems to have taken a toll on the zucchini seeds (it was either that or the stray cats). Luckily it's not too late to replant if need be... plus it builds character, right? If all the seeds I planted in my first attempt at vegetable gardening were successful, I'd probably just go getting big head about it.
Here's to spring and a hopeful harvest. Updates to come.

Add to myYahoo!UPDATE: 5/16/07


BurgerMeister looks to be drinking bacon infused vodka with an additional slice of bacon:
So burgermeister was hungry. She said to herself "SLIDERS!!!!!"
The Florida Room had these delectable beauties as an occasional special, until demand became so apparent that they put them on the menu.
$4, comes with fries, tots or salad (extra for the rings. mmmmm.) Meat, sauce, pickle, bun, all that you need, nothing that you don't. Plus, the best bloody marys in town.
ORIGINAL POST: 9/16/07

Continuing quest for sliders in Portland lands us at the Florida Room.
For a limited time they have a sliders special. $3.00 for two juicy sliders topped with pickles and mayo. Comes with fries, tots, or salad.
They have a couple odd menu items as well. Deep fried avacodos, deviled eggs, boozecakes (bourbon batter pancakes), and bloody marys made with wasabi infused vodka.
