I'm going to shop today for the ingredients for the most
decadent chocolate truffle pie on earth that will come with me to my
friends
house on Thanksgiving. Lucky me, she will do all the hard work and I
get to
do the chocolate.

Lucille



Recipe !

Here it is. Very, very easy. It's extremely rich and goes a long way
because most people only want a sliver. It's nice to top it with a
dollop of whipped cream too, just to add a little more unhealthy fat. ;^)

Now who is being mean. Lucille, stop tempting us and surrender the
chocolate recipe.
Dawne


Here it is again. Sorry for my Sunday morning confusion. Up too late and
out of bed too early.

I have got USA cups but can you tell me the weight that the chocolate
is. I would have to use a substitute here in UK.
Thanks

Good one, saved that ! Can't get much easier.

oops -- you might have already known what to use but that recipe didn't tell
you that you should use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk.

10 oz. Each square weighs 1 oz.

Enjoy!

I'm working Monday and then again on Friday so I have plenty of time to get

I might even get some real stitching time in....

I actually have my turkey in the oven "as we speak". :-) DH got a
frozen turkey from work on Tuesday so we're cooking it today. He is
off all week but I'm only off on Thursday so I won't have to worry
about cooking or 'lunch stuff" all week. Since we both work swing
shift when we are working, I only cook on weekends anyway. Hmmmmm. I
think I'll have to see if I can find a 'poisonberry" pie for
Thanksgiving, though. DH is happy with pumpkin or apple, but it's
just not Thanksgiving for me without a Poisonberry Pie. :-))))) I
think Harry & David may carry them so I'll have to break out the gift
card I won at the Halloween contest and finally use it at the employee
sale tomorrow. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. :-)))))

The candies are made, the coookies started and I have made one pumpkin
pie. I'm trying a new recipe and so decided to make a pie before
thanksgiving - if it works, I'll make another on the day, if not, I'll
go back to my old recipe. Already, I have my doubts - it takes three
times as long on the prep. We'll see how it tastes this evening.

I felt quite bitter a couple of years ago when Sunday Shopping was
instituted here, just because all the rest of you had it and NS was
'behind the times' -

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. When I was working and my kids
hadn't yet flown the coop, we were always busy with school activities and
sports during the week and Saturdays. I was very grateful to be able to shop on
Sundays.

kids
hadn't yet flown the coop, we were always busy with school activities and
sports during the week and Saturdays. I was very grateful to be able to
shop on
Sundays.

But, but, but - we raised three kids, both of us worked, banks were
only open from 10-3 and stores were only open in the evenings in
December. In addition David organised a soccer club he founded and I
worked as manager of the senior team. It all got done with
organisation and certainly Halifax was a far better place before
Sunday Shopping.

We definitely have to disagree on this one, been there, done that.


It's also a place where you probably don't have to do a little over an hour
subway ride with 2 changes and a bus or taxi ride from the station to home
after work. That was me.

My husband's ride was 45 minutes in the car twice a day. We left our house
at 7 am and got home, depending on the day, earliest 7 and sometimes much
later.

Of course that was on days when the weather was good, traffic wasn't held up
by an accident or a snowstorm and the subway ran absolutely perfectly. That
left Saturday and Sunday to do all the marketing, cleaning, laundry, etc.

Sunday was the only day we could possibly have time to do some fun shopping
that wasn't necessary for everyday survival.

DH and I have been invited to join some friends on Thanksgiving Day. We
thought it a great idea. Soooo We have just finished a turkey dinner for
the two of us at home. We get all the things that I can fix (healthy)
for DH, have lots of leftovers and soup in the future!

I shall take Green Beans almondine and a Cranberry sauce from the Sunday
paper as my contributions. I might make Anne's chocolate goodies too.

We get the best of both worlds, friends AND leftovers!
