25 March Peanut butter & chocolate Easter eggs with coconut toppingYou see, before my mother passed away she sent us some peanut butter and chocolate eggs all the way from Pennsylvania. Everyone in the office loved them so much we asked for the recipe. I gave a copy to Steve, one to Ray or Denise and kept one. Needless to say, I misplaced mine, as did Steve. Denise had tucked it away in her recipe box though and found it the other day. So, now that I have a copy again I whipped some up. They're easy to make and deliciously evil. The recipe is as follows... Ingredients:
2 bags of Nestle chocolate chips (11.5oz bags) 1lb 10X (powdered) sugar 2 tablespoons milk ½ stick margarine or butter (she used margarine) 1 teaspoon pure vanilla 2 ½ cups Peter Pan peanut butter
Directions:
In a double boiler melt 2 bags chocolate chips. Put all other ingredients in another bowl and knead 10 to 15 minutes. Shape into eggs (she used to roll them by hand). Dip eggs in chocolate using a very small slotted spoon. Decorate with colored icing after they dry.
Makes about 26 eggs. 04 January Bellingham EatsOn the way back from lunch with the Emergency Reporting crew yesterday we passed this teriyaki shop... Most of the people who know me know that Nate and I hang out and make it a point to go to just about every teriyaki shop we can find. We haven't been to many in Bellingham though so I guess I'll have to add this to the list.
23 October Talking about Skagit Young Professionals Dinner Club OctoberEvery month we have a dinner club where some of us go take over a restaurant. We may switch to twice a month or more if the popularity of this continues. It's usually a lot of fun but I don't take photos at most of these so there hasn't been much to show about them. The next event is next Tuesday night and info is linked below...

They had a new special that Nate tried and it looked neat, so I snapped a photo. He said it was really yummy. 15 October Talking about How Much Caffeine in Drinks -- Coffee, Tea, Soft Drinks -- Caffeine ContentI didn't know this, but this is funny. A good cup of coffee still beats those $2 energy drinks by twice as much or more! LOL
Quote How Much Caffeine in Drinks -- Coffee, Tea, Soft Drinks -- Caffeine Content 17 August Espresso ConnectionI went to dinner the other day with a friend of mine and we were joking around about how we eat out so much we should start a restaurant review. So, here's the first one.
Espresso Connection is a drive-thru espresso and snack shop chain in the local area. We often visit the one on College Way in Mount Vernon and they are always happy to see us. Yesterday I took a picture of one of the ladies that work there and today I got another one.
I always get a surprise "whatever" drink when I go there, though I do ask for hot or cold most of the time. I have never been disappointed by a drink from there and I would highly recommend everyone try them out. I suggest a javarama if it's hot or maybe a nice tea after dinner. They have an email club and a web site too. Check 'em out, you won't be disappointed! Oh, and the coffee's good too... ;p |
