A Meme for the End of the Year from My Friend Grace

.

Where did 2011 go? Wasn't it just yesterday when we welcomed 2011 and now, there’s only a few days left before we use a new calendar. 

How did 2011 treat you? So-so? really lousy (I sure hope not!)?

What’s more perfect to look back on the year by answering this meme. My friend Grace over at Sandier Pastures has this great meme that she has been doing at the end of the year since 2006, I only stumbled on it last year.  But I had fun with it last year and wanted to share it with all of you.

Head on over to Grace's blog and feel free to copy the questions and have fun answering them and post them on your blog when you are ready.

On the last day of the year, Grace will put up her answers with a linky tool so we can link up our posts.

I can't wait to see how every one's 2011 went, so head on over to Sandier Pastures now and get the questions.....

1 Pkg Oreo cookies (I always use Double Stuff and I found this new flavor with chocolate and vanilla flavor - TO DIE FOR!!)

Plus my secret ingredient for everything chocolate that I make..... 1/4 tsp. Espresso Powder






~ Preheat oven to 350 degrees; spray muffin pan generously with cooking spray (I only use Pam)

~ Mix brownies according to package directions, adding Espresso Powder to the dry mix before adding wet ingredients.

~ Put approx. 1 Tbs. of brownie mix into each muffin cup; then add one cookie to each cup; followed by one more Tbs. of brownie mix.

~ Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes (you'll see the top crack just a little)

~ Let them cool in pan for 10 min. then remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

~ Serve plane or as I like them with whipped cream (Reddi-Whip is my favorite) with each bite..... of course I have to share the whipped cream with the doggies. TeeHee!

Double Chocolate Bread Pudding with Dulce de Leche

Dulce de leche:



2 14-oz. cans sweetened condensed milk (I only use Eagle Brand)


Pudding:


1-lb. day-old loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 ounces dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate (the darker the better for me)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa (I also use a really dark cocoa called Black Cocoa, mmmm)
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
6 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp. instant espresso powder (my favorite comes from King Arthur Flour Company)
1 Tbls. vanilla extract


~ Make dulce de leche: Pour condensed milk into a bowl; set over a pot of simmering water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is very thick and golden brown, about 2 1/2 hours. Add more water to pot during cooking time, if necessary. Remove bowl; set aside to cool.



~ Make pudding: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread bread in dish; sprinkle with chocolate. In a bowl, whisk both sugars, cocoa and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, half-and-half and eggs. Dissolve espresso in vanilla; whisk into egg mixture. Whisk egg mixture into bowl with cocoa mixture. Pour over bread cubes. Cover loosely; let stand for 1 hour.


~ Preheat oven to 325°F. Remove cover. Bake pudding until puffed and set in center, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Insert a small knife into center; it should come out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes. Drizzle with dulce de leche and serve with ice cream, if desired.

OK, this does take some time to make, but you don't have to stand over it while making it and it really does taste delicious. Bill LOVES bread pudding and because of the chocolate content, there are NO puppy tail wags on this one... however they all did like the caramel sauce and they do love ice cream! =)  I haven't made it in a while so I don't have a current photo of my own, I borrowed one from the recipe file.

Monday's Music Moves Me ~ Give my Regards to Broadway!

.


<br /><a href="http://thenewxmasdolly.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz61/xmasdolly/Decorated%20images/th_retromusic1-1.gif" /></a><br /><br /> 

Welcome to a Monday's Music Moves Me, the fantabulistic music meme hosted by me, Dolly from XmasDolly, Larry from Cakeblast and Callie from Jamerican Spice and the wonderful Stacy from Stacy Uncorked. This week's theme is Military/Patriotic or Broadway Tunes.

Since I did patriotic tunes last week, I decided to go the Broadway route this week. Bill and I used to go to the theater all the time when we lived in Connecticut, we had a local theater that showed Broadway Musicals and we went to at least 6 a year, but we haven't gone to any since we moved down to Florida, I really miss them. Here are some of my favorites.

"My Fair Lady": Just You Wait ~ Julie Andrews

While I didn't really care for the show itself, I truly loved the following song.....

Memory ~ Original Broadway Cast of "Cats"

Here is another show that I wasn't thrilled with, but the song always gives me goosebumps.....


Seasons of Love ~ Final Performance by the Cast of "Rent"





These next two songs are from my absolute FAVORITE musical... I have seen it three times, once actually on Broadway. I still get chills when I see it or hear the music and my favorite singers are portrayed below.....


Theme from "The Phantom of the Opera": ~ Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman





The Music of the Night ~ Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman

Sauteed Pork Chops with Olives

4 boneless pork loin chops
unflavored breadcrumbs

seasonings (I used Pampered Chef citrus and basil rub)
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
can of sliced olives
1/2 cup beef stock
1/4 cup white wine
2 Tbls. flour
2 Tbls. EVOO

Mix your seasonings into the breadcrumbs in shallow bowl; beat eggs in shallow bowl; put milk in another shallow bowl and then dredge chops first in milk, then eggs, then cover in bread crumb mixture. Saute the chops in the EVOO for 4 minutes on each side until browned.

 
Deglaze the pan with the wine;

then add the flour to thicken the sauce, add a little stock if needed. Once thick, add the rest of the broth and the olives.

Cover pan and cook for 20-30 min. (depending on thickness) until no longer pink inside and internal temp is 160 degrees.

This received 6 out of 6 puppy tail wags, of course... they LOVE meat!!  Hubby liked it, too!

Hamburger Stroganoff



Ingredients

Photo: Randy Mayor; Styling: Jan Gautro

8 oz. uncooked egg noodles (I like largest size)
1 tsp. EVOO
1 lb. extra lean ground beef  (I use 10% fat)
2-3 cloves garlic minced or grated
2 Tbls. all-purpose flour
1 cup beef stock (you can also use broth if you want)
Salt & Pepper to taste
3/4 cup sour cream
2-3 Tbls. dry white wine
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


~ Cook pasta according to package directions, without using any salt or butter/oil in the water; drain and rinse under cold water then drain completely.

~ Heat EVOO in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add beef until browned, stirring to crumble. Add garlic stirring frequently until garlic is clear; sprinkle with flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly (I use whisk to prevent lumps). Stir in broth and bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 1 minute or until slightly thick. Stir in salt and pepper.

~ Remove from heat, stir in sour cream and wine. Serve over pasta. Sprinkle with parsley. (I have a parsley plant on my window sill that I am just waiting for it to grow big enough to use in my cooking. HaHa)

I forgot to take photos while I was cooking (I swear brain cells are leaking out of my ears) so I used the one above from the recipe - they use mushrooms but Bill doesn't eat mushrooms so I modified the recipe some. This recipe, because it has BEEF in it, received 6 out of 6 puppy tail wags and made enough for us to have two dinners.


So now all you have to do is sign our linky so we all can find your recipes. You check out all ours and we will check out all yours. If you don't want to write it all down and you know of one on line just post a link to it on your blog or leave it in a comment if you prefer!


For more recipes, head on over to Ms.BiBi at Daily Organized Chaos.


Let's get cooking..... Bon Appetit!

Wordless Wednesday: Daddy and the Doggies (minus one) ~ May 25th

WORDLESS

Welcome to Wordless Wednesday..... We were out walking the dogs today and I handed Bill the three leashes I was holding to go throw something away and as I turned around and walked back I saw him and the 5 dogs he had and though he looked so cute with all the little ones surrounding him, I just had to take a photo.  Don't they just look adorable? (Poor Maila is just out of frame)


For more Wordless Wednesday posts, check out the WW Hub, leave your link, check out the other participants, and don't forget to leave a nice comment - you know you like comments, they do too!!




And don't forget about our recipe sharing meme tomorrow: "Recipe Swap Meet Thursday" - have you got your recipe ready??? Don't forget to grab our button and play along... Happy cooking.
