Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)

~10 Things I Hate About You...Week-End

2011-08-13T09:22:00.000-07:00

Who else is ready for the week-end? This week-ends movie is...
"10 Things I Hate About You"
is a 1999 American teen romantic comedy film. It is directed by Gil Junger and stars Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Oleynik, David Krumholtz, and Larry Miller. The screenplay was written by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith.

The film, a modernization of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, is titled after a poem written by the film's female lead to describe her bittersweet romance with the male lead. The film was released March 31, 1999, and it was a breakout success for stars Stiles and Ledger.

"Ten Things I Love Layered Chocolate Cake"

2 cups Sugar
1 3/4 sticks margarine
3 cups self rising flour
1 cup milk
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla

Mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes in 3 eight inch pans. When the layers cool, cut each layer into half lengthwise.

Chocolate Sauce Icing:
2 cups sugar
1 stick margarine
3/4 of large can of evaporated milk
6 Tbsp. cocoa
2 tsp. vanilla

Mix sugar and cocoa. Add milk and vanilla. Add margarine. Boil 10 minutes. Cool icing completely and beat with spoon.

This sauce is also good on ice cream or pound cake.

I alternate between these two frosting below. I like them because I love an icing that is more like old fashion hard fudge. Which of these two I use, will most often depend on whether I have squares of chocolate in the pantry, or if I only have cocoa. Also the second recipe is sweeter but both are a boiled frosting that set up hard the way I like it:

Old Fashioned Hard Fudge Frosting:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 squares unsweetened chocolate

Add sugar and milk, butter. Stir until boils HARD! Boil HARD 6 minutes. Don't stir while boiling. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and chocolate. Stir until chocolate melted. Pour over cake. Will be a hard, shiny frosting. Tastes like fudge. Frosting sets up very quickly.

Old Fashioned Fudge Frosting:
2/3 cup Hershey's cocoa
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Thoroughly combine dry ingredients in heavy 4 quart saucepan. Stir in milk. Boil without stirring to soft boil stage. Add butter. Remove from heat. Beat until it has cool some; add vanilla. Frosting will set up hard.

2011-07-02T14:27:00.000-07:00

I find it interesting the two Royal Wedding have happen this year to two sons that tragically lost their amazing, lovely mothers.

First there was Grace Kelly the Princess of Monaco. She died on September 14, 1982, when she lost control of her automobile and crashed after suffering a stroke. Her daughter Princess Stéphanie, who was in the car with her, survived the accident.She would’ve been 82 today.

On 31 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, died as a result of injuries sustained in a car collision in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris, France. Her companion, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes-Benz W140, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. She would have been 50 now.

and not that anyone is asking ,but I'd take William over Albert any day! hahah :)

"Pretty in Pink Layered Cake"

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more, for coating pans
1 (18 1/4-ounce) box white cake mix
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons sweetened pink lemonade drink powder
1 pound confectioners' sugar
5 tablespoons frozen pink lemonade concentrate
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 2 (8-inch) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper or waxed paper.

Prepare the cake batter according to the package directions. To the batter, stir in the lemon zest, vanilla, and pink lemonade powder. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting by beating together the confectioners' sugar and remaining 1 cup butter until fluffy. Beat in the remaining frosting ingredients until combined.

Transfer one cake to a cake stand or large platter. Using an offset spatula, spread the top of the cake with a layer of frosting. Place the second cake on top of the first. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of both layers.

I'm sorry but the girl is right. Come on ladies...at the very least be smart enough to not show your face in these pics. Your putting all your trust in these guys not to share these with others.

"Don Juan DeMarco" From Wikipedia,
Don Juan DeMarco is a 1995 American romantic comedy-drama film starring Johnny Depp as John Arnold DeMarco, a man who believes himself to be Don Juan, the greatest lover in the world. Clad in a cape and domino mask, DeMarco undergoes psychiatric treatment with Marlon Brando's character, Dr. Jack Mickler, to cure him of his apparent delusion. But the psychiatric sessions have an unexpected effect on the psychiatric staff, some of whom find themselves inspired by DeMarco's delusion; the most profoundly affected is Dr. Mickler himself, who rekindles the romance in his complacent marriage.

How about some Johnny Depp deep dark chocolate Red Wine cupcakes?

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 ounces chocolate, broken into pieces
1/2 cup boiling water
2 sticks (8 ounces) butter, at room temperature
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1-1/4 cups flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup medium- to full-bodied red wine, such as cannonau
Two 8-ounce containers mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Red grapes, halved, for garnish
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°. Line 2 muffin pans with baking liners.
In a medium, heatproof bowl, combine the cocoa powder and chocolate pieces. Whisk in the boiling water until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is combined.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until blended. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until just combined. Alternating, add the chocolate mixture and wine in batches, mixing well between each addition, until the batter is smooth. Divide among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan.
Lightly beat the mascarpone, then add the confectioners' sugar and beat until creamy. Remove the cooled cupcakes from the pan, spread each with icing and top with a grape half.

Happy Mother's Day Week-end to all!
Bundle of Joy (1956)
Kitschy musical remake of "Bachelor Mother". Debbie Reynolds plays an over-eager clerk in a large department store and Eddie Fisher plays the boss' son. After getting fired from her job, she finds an adorable baby on the steps of the foundling home and the folks inside mistake her for the mother. Fisher, well-meaning, but obtuse, tries to help her out with the baby, and the buds of romance begin to appear. Meanwhile old Merlin, the owner of the store, thinks he just might be a grandfather...

"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."

This does not mean the strapless will go away for those of you that that love this look, but others will have something else to pick. Here are a few classics...Would you wear sleeves?

2011-04-30T09:41:00.000-07:00

Happy Royal Wedding Week-End to all! For our week-end movie I'm sticking with the Princess theme and bring you the most beautiful Princess that ever graced the silver screen...playing a Princess no less! Grace Kelly in "The Swan"
The film deals with the story of the daughter of a minor branch of a European royal house who is being considered as a wife for her cousin, the heir to the throne.

Princess Alexandra (Grace Kelly) is the princess, her cousin the crown prince, Albert, is played by Alec Guinness, and her brothers' tutor, a commoner for whom she thinks she may feel more affection than she does for the prince, is played by Louis Jourdan.

Posted by MyKidsEatSquid in Decadent DessertsInspired in part by a recipe, which appeared in Mexican Border Flavors: The Beautiful Cookbook (HarperCollins, 2003).

Dough for the puffs
2 cups water
1 cup butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
8 eggs

Chocolate cream
2 cups semi-sweet or white chocolate chips
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy or whipping cream
¼ cup raspberry jam (optional, but good)

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
To make the dough, place butter and water into a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Slowly, bring the water and butter to a boil.
As soon as the mixture begins to boil, remove it from the heat source and add the flour in all at once. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together to form a ball.
Let the ball cool for around four minutes, then add the eggs one at a time. Beat after each egg is added.
At this point, you could just drop the dough in heaping tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet, but if you’re up for a challenge, break out the pastry bag! I use what’s called a ‘Mechanical Pastry Bag’ I bought on sale at Michaels to create the swan shapes.
Assembling the swan: You’ll need four large, ungreased baking pans (I highly recommend using parchment paper to line the pan, even though the dough shouldn’t stick to an ungreased pan it may). One pan will contain the swan necks, one and a half will contain swan wings and the rest of the space can be used for the base and regular puffs.
First baking pan: Swan necks. Place 1/3 of the puff dough into your pastry bag fitted with a large, straight tip (you want a tip that is about the diameter of a pencil eraser top). Draw ‘2s’ in three rows on the pan–each one stretching to about two inches in height. The curved part of the ‘2’ is the swan’s neck and head while the bottom of the ‘2’ will tuck between the wings to support the weight of the head. Place this pan into the oven while you prepare the rest. The necks should cook for only about nine minutes or so—keep a close watch because these thinner puffs cook (and burn!) quickly.
Second baking pan: Swan wings. Change the pastry tip to either a large open star tip or even a large leaf tip (I’ve never purchased tips, I always just use what’s available in my kit). Working left to right, start with a thicker, rounded portion of dough and then draw the tip upwards and to the right—the winged shape should look like a sideways, slightly curved teardrop (these should be about one-and-a-half inches in length). Again, make three rows of wings. Keep in mind that the dough will grow to at least double what’s on the pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until slightly browned.
With the remaining pans and dough: Using open star tip create circular cream puffs (these should be about two inches in length). Some of these puffs you’ll use as the base for your swan; the others you can make into regular puffs. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until slightly browned.
Making the cream: Melt the chocolate and the heavy cream in the microwave at full power for about one to two minutes. Stir. If there are any lumps, microwave the mixture again at 10-second intervals or until the chocolate melts completely. (Stir in the raspberry jam if you’re using it.) Set aside and allow to cool.
Beat the cream cheese and the sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Once the mixture appears light and creamy, gradually add in the chocolate. (**Keep the chocolate pan handy with just a little chocolate inside to make swan eyes and beaks.) Whip the entire mixture again and place into a pastry bag fitted with a large open star tip.
Assembling your swan: Now for the fun part! Gently remove the swan necks from the pan (some may break, but that’s why you have several). Dip the swans ‘beak’ (the end of the ‘2’) into the chocolate mixture. (Obviously, if you’re using white chocolate you’ll have to melt some additional darker chocolate.) Allow the swan necks to harden on wax paper.
Carefully cut the base pieces in half. On the bottom portion, add a generous swirl of the chocolate cream. Gently cut a swan wing in half. Pushing in gingerly with your fingers, place the swan neck base (so the bottom of the ‘2’) into the cream swirl. Place a wing on either side of the neck base to cover it. Repeat with the remaining parts. Once you’ve assembled all of the swans, use a toothpick to dot each side of the swan head with a chocolate eye. Refrigerate until firm. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
At the end you’ll have mismatched cream puff tops (leftover from the bases), which you can use to create regular cream puffs.
For white swans, use white chocolate in the cream filling and omit the raspberry jam. For a stronger chocolate flavor, opt for semi-sweet.

~It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown...Week-End

2011-04-24T08:58:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter Week-End! I hope you all have a great day:)

It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown

While most of the Peanuts Gang is getting ready for Easter, Linus, certain it is all a waste of time, tries convincing everyone the Easter Beagle will take care of everything, but his pleas fall on deaf ears. Only Sally believes him, though she still has some suspicions after the Halloween fiasco.

Easter Beagle Cadbury Pancakes

Ingredients:

3 Cadbury Creme eggs
225ml milk, plus an extra 10ml (2tsp)
75g plain flour
1 egg, beaten
15ml (1tbsp) sunflower oil

Instructions:

1. Carefully cut the creme eggs in half down the seam and pull apart. Using a teaspoon scoop out the “goo” and place in a small saucepan. (Alternatively place the “goo” in a microwaveable bowl and microwave on high power for 10-20 seconds depending on microwave rating.)

2. Break the milk chocolate shells into pieces, then place in a small bowl with 125ml of the milk. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate and milk has melted together. Allow to cool slightly.

3. Place the flour in a bowl, with the egg and remaining milk and chocolate milk, whisk together to form a batter.

4. Dip a piece of rolled up kitchen paper into the oil and rub over an 18cm pancake or crêpe pan, then heat over a moderate heat. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the chocolate batter into the pan, tilting it so that the batter covers the base thinly and evenly.

5. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the pancake is set and coloured underneath. Loosen the edges with a palette knife then either turn the pancake over or toss. Cook the second side for about 30 seconds, or until just set.

6. Slide the pancake onto a plate, cover with baking parchment or foil and keep warm. Use the oil to cook the remaining batter in the same way, to make another 7 pancakes. Add each one to the warm plate, layering with baking parchment.

7. Place the pan with the “goo” over a moderate heat with the 10ml of milk, until melted. Try not to stir the mixture, just gently shake the pan. To serve, fold the pancakes into triangles and drizzle the “goo” sauce over the top.

~The American President...Week-End

2011-04-09T12:11:00.000-07:00

Happy week-end everyone! For your week-end viewing I give The American President. Comedy-drama about a widowed US president and a lobbyist who fall in love. It's all aboveboard, but "politics is perception" and sparks fly anyway. Enjoy with..."As American as Apple Pie Cookies"For the cookie base: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup salted butter, cubed and kept cold 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 cup milk For the apple filling: 2 Granny Smith, or other firm, apples, peeled, cored and chopped into small pieces 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon all spice 1/8 teaspoon cloves 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 2 tablespoons bourbon 2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon cornstarch For the caramel sauce: 1/4 cup water 1 cup sugar 4 tablespoons butter 1 cup cream 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 cup bourbon Heat the oven to 350F and have a mini-muffin pan ready. Begin by preparing the apple pie filling. In a medium skillet over medium heat combine the apples, sugar, butter, and spices. Once the butter melts and the apples begin to soften turn off the heat and add the bourbon. Return the pan to the heat and reduce it to low. Combine the water with the cornstarch and add to the apple mixture. Stir until the mixture thickens. Allow to cool while you prepare the cookie base. In the bowl of a food processor combine the flour, butter, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and milk. Pulse until the mixture forms a ball. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough into a log and divide into 32 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Place a ball of dough in the cup of a mini-muffin pan and, using a dough tamper or your fingers, press down until the dough reaches the top if the cup. Fill the cups with a rounded teaspoon of the apple filling. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. While the cookies cool prepare the caramel. In a medium pot with tall sides add the sugar in an even layer. Pour in the water and gently stir to combine. Using a pastry brush and some water wash the sides of the pot to make sure no sugar crystals are clinging to the sides. Cook the sugar over medium heat, swirling the pot occasionally but do not stir, until it is a dark amber color. Add the butter and whisk to combine. Turn off the heat and add the cream slowly, whisking constantly until the caramel is well combined. Add the vanilla and bourbon. Heat this mixture over medium heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling cook for one minute. Cool for thirty minutes. Once the caramel is cool pour about 1/2 teaspoon over the top of each cookie. Allow the caramel to set for two hours before serving.

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time. Then beat in the buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla and red food coloring. Once combined, add the dry ingredients to wet. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Onto a parchment lined sheet tray, drop batter using an ice cream scoop, forming 2-inch round circles.

Bake for 10 minutes, until baked through. Cookies should be cake-like and light. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy.

Spread the cream cheese frosting between 2 cooled cookies and roll the edges in finely chopped pecans, if desired.

~13 Going on 30...Week-End

2010-11-13T09:33:00.000-08:00

Phew it's been a busy last few weeks for me. I haven't been able to blog much, but I still wanted to get out your week-end movie. So here it is ! I love this one let me say...13 going on 30!

A 13 year old girl plays a game on her 13th birthday and wakes up the next day as a 30 year old woman.

"Flirty, Fluffy at 30 Kiss Marshmallow Cookie"

* 3 tablespoons cornstarch
* 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
* Vegetable oil cooking spray for pans
* 1 package (2 1/2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
* 1/3 cup cold water for gelatin, plus 1/4 cup for syrup
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* Red food coloring
* 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted

Directions

1. Mix cornstarch with confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Coat two rimless baking sheets with cooking spray. Cut parchment to fit pans, draw 1 1/4-inch circles, and place on baking sheets, ink side down; spray with cooking spray. Dust with cornstarch mixture to cover completely; shake off excess. Sprinkle gelatin over the 1/3 cup cold water in a mixer bowl. Let stand to soften, about 5 minutes.
2. Heat remaining 1/4 cup water and the granulated sugar in a small pan over medium-high heat, stirring, until dissolved. Place a candy thermometer into syrup; wipe sides of pan with a wet pastry brush if crystals have splattered up. Boil, without stirring, until temperature reaches the soft-ball stage (238 degrees). Remove from heat; add to softened gelatin. Hand-stir with the whisk attachment a few seconds to cool; place bowl on mixer stand. Whisk on medium-high until soft peaks form and mixture holds a shape, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Whisk in the vanilla and a small drop of red food coloring (for pale pink). Transfer half the mixture to a pastry bag with a 1/2-inch tip (such as Ateco #806), and pipe kisses inside circles on baking sheets.
4. Add another drop of food coloring to the mixture in the bowl, return to mixer, and whisk to blend. Transfer marshmallow mixture to the pastry bag, and pipe remaining kisses.
5. Let stand at room temperature until set, about 4 hours. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.
6. To assemble, place a small dab of melted chocolate on each cookie, and top with a kiss. Let stand to harden. Store airtight at room temperature up to 1 day. Serve at room temperature.

Makes 100 cookies

* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
* 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
* 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla in a mixer bowl on medium speed. Beat in flour and salt until just combined. Shape into a disc; wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out with a 1 1/4-inch round cookie cutter; transfer to prepared pan. Freeze 30 minutes to harden.
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake until cookies just begin to brown around the edges, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool briefly on parchment, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.

PUMPKIN- BANANA MOUSSE TART
www.RecipeGirl.com

CRUST:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 14 crackers)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ lb (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

FILLING:
½ cup half and half cream
15 ounce can unsweetened pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
¾ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
3 extra-large egg yolks
1 package (2 tsp.) unflavored gelatin
1 medium ripe banana, finely mashed
1 tsp finely grated orange zest
½ cup cold heavy whipping cream
2 Tbs granulated sugar

TOPPING:
1 cup (½ pint) cold heavy whipping cream
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
orange zest, optional

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Prepare crust: Combine crust ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pour into an 11-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom and press evenly into the sides and then the bottom. Bake for 10 minutes and then cool to room temperature.

3. Prepare filling: Set heat proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Add half & half, pumpkin, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to bowl. Whisk until mixture becomes hot, about 5 minutes.

4. Whisk egg yolks in a separate bowl. Stir a spoonful of the hot pumpkin into the egg yolks to heat them. Then stir in another spoonful. Keep adding spoonfuls until the egg mixture becomes warmed. Scrape the pumpkin/egg mixture back into the heated bowl and stir well. Heat the mixture over the simmering water for another 4 to 5 minutes, until it begins to thicken, stirring constantly. You don’t want the eggs to scramble. Remove from heat.

5/ Dissolve gelatin in ¼ cup of cold water. Add the dissolved gelatin, banana and orange zest to the pumpkin mixture and mix well. Set aside to cool.

6. Whip heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and continue to whisk until you have firm peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture and pour it into the cooled tart shell. Chill for 2 hours or overnight.
7 For the topping: Whip the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and vanilla and continue to whisk until you have firm peaks. Pipe or spoon the whipped cream decoratively on the tart and sprinkle, if desired, with orange zest. Serve chilled.

Servings: 10

Happy Halloween Week-end Everyone! In Hour of this week-end I bring you a great film with the one and only Cary Grant!!!I hope you enjoy!
Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
A drama critic learns on his wedding day that his beloved maiden aunts are homicidal maniacs, and that insanity runs in his family.

"Apple Cupcakes With Carmel and Not Arsenic "
http://cupcakeblog.com/?p=60
Apple Cupcakes
9 regular cupcakes / 350 degree oven

2-3 apples, granny smith
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Rinse and core the apples. Place them on an ovenproof pan or baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes until soft.
2. Remove the apples from the oven, let cool slightly, then remove peel and mush the apple with the back of a fork. Measure out 1 cup of apple mush and set aside to cool.
3. Combine flour, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine.
4. Crack the eggs into a separate, medium sized bowl and beat with a form to break up. Add the oil, apple juice, vanilla, and cooled apple mush and mix to combine.
5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until all ingredients come together.
6. Scoop into cupcake papers about 3/4 full so cupcakes will have a significant dome. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-22 minutes, rotating the pan after 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cream Cheese Filling

4 ounces Philly cream cheese
1/4 stick butter
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Be sure to bring the butter to room temperature by letting it sit out for 1 or 2 hours. Then beat the butter vigorously with an electric mixer.
2. Scrape the bowl and add the cream cheese and beat until combine.
3. Add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth.

Fill Cupcakes
1. Cut out a cone from each cupcake. Flip the cone and cut off the excess. Set the top aside.
2. Fill each cavity with the cream cheese filling.
3. Replace each top.

Thick Caramel

1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
6 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Bring the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk to a boil over medium-high heat stirring to combine.
2. With a wooden spoon, stir all ingredients together and then slowly add the heavy cream.
3. Continue to stir for about 20 minutes until the caramel reached 248 degrees. It is important to continuously stir the mixture and to allow it to reach temperature.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Transfer to a bowl and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes allowing the caramel to cool slightly.

Final Assembly
1. Using a small offset spatula, frost each cupcake with the caramel.
2. If desired sprinkle warm caramel with any number of toppings, like coconut or crushed nuts.
3. Transfer the cupcake into the freezer to allow the caramel to set without dripping over the edge of the cupcake paper.
4. Continue frosting and topping the cupcakes and try to work fast. As the caramel cools, it becomes less spreadable. If possible work in pairs and let your helper top the cupcakes and transfer them to the freezer. By the time you reach the last few cupcakes, you will not longer need to freeze them and you can take all the cupcakes out and transfer them to the counter.
5. Top off each cupcake with a popsicle or craft stick to finish off the look.

~Tony Curtis Movies...Week-End

2010-10-01T11:22:00.000-07:00

This week we lost the one and only Tony Curtis so in his honor I thought I would re-run 2 past Tony week-end movies. RIP...
7/10/09

"Sex & The Single Girl".(1964)
Natalie Wood is Helen Gurlie Brown the 'single girl,' a 20 year old doctor who just released a book on sex as a single girl, the catch is... she's still a virgin. Curtis is a sleazy reporter covering a story on Wood and her book. Curtis eventually falls for Wood's character, beneath all the lies he has told her. Cute side-stories with Henry Fonda and Lauren Bacall. Worth a watch just for the chase seen near the end.
As always you can watch the whole movie on here just by following the link to Youtube.

And when you say "Sex & the Single Girl" for me that makes me think of chocolate so...
Juicy Orange "Gurlie Brown" Chocolate Mousse

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:

* 8 ounce dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped or broken in small pieces

* 1/2 cup orange juice
* 1 tsp fresh grated orange zest
* 1 1/2 tablespoons white granulated sugar

* bowl of ice water
* 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped (Tip: very cold cream whips easier!)

Preparation:
Bring a saucepan with an inch of water in it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low. Place the chocolate, butter, salt, and a 1/4-cup of the orange juice into a medium mixing bowl, and place over the hot water. When the chocolate and butter are melted, stir to combine, and remove from the heat.

In another heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the orange zest, sugar, egg yolks, and rest of the orange juice. Cook, stirring constantly over low heat for 2-3 minutes until mixture reaches 160 degrees F. (a digital thermometer is recommended).

When ready, whisk the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture. Once combined, place this bowl over the bowl of ice water to cool. Stir occasionally; mixture needs to be cool to the touch.

With a spatula, fold in the whipped cream, and spoon the chocolate mousse into individual glasses or cups. Refrigerate until set; at least 4 hours. May be prepared the night before. Garnish with extra whipped cream if desired.

“If you kiss on the first date and it's not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it's better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else.”

Happy Week-end bloggers. I bring you one of my top 12 favorite movies & one of my favorite treats. I hope you enjoy!

Amélie is a shy waitress in a Montmartre café. After returning a long-lost childhood treasure to a former occupant of her apartment, and seeing the effect it has on him, she decides to set out on a mission to make others happy and in the meantime pursues a quirky guy who collects discarded photo booth pictures.

Amélie's Amaretto Crème Brulee
Ingredients:

* 2 cups heavy whipping cream
* 2 tablespoons Amaretto
* 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
* 4 large egg yolks
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 4 ot 6 tablespoons for topping
* sliced almonds, lightly toasted, optional
* fresh mint, optional

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°.

In a saucepan, bring cream, Amaretto, and almond extract to a boil.

Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Slowly whisk the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture until well blended. Place 6 to 8 shallow individual 6- to 8-ounce baking dishes in a large baking or roasting pan. Pour cream mixture into the baking dishes. Pour boiling water into the baking dish to about halfway up the small baking dishes. Carefully place the pan in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the centers barely move. You may have to adjust baking time, depending on the size/depth of the baking dishes.

Cool the creme brulee then chill for about 4 to 6 hours or overnight.

Sprinkle each creme brulee with 2 to 3 teaspoons of sugar. Carefully torch to melt the sugar, moving and taking care not to burn. Or, place under the broiler, turning and watching very closely, until sugar turns a darker brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. A cooking torch is good to have if you make this often. You have much more control on melting the sugar, which forms the famous crust.
