coalrange1 - 2010-01-02 20:42:00

its funny how we hear things from other people that you already know and hear things for the first time that you dont know (does that make sense)

Hi Twilight & Coalrange, didn't get back to computer and until a short time ago. See you have both been up to no good again.........
Recipe as promised, it is beautiful.

Tiramisu

1 cup toasted fine wholemeal breadcrumbs
1/3 cup brown sugar
5 Tlb sp drinking chocolate
1 tsp instant coffee powder
2 Tlb sp brandy or rum (optional can use hot water instead of alcohol)
500g Cyclops coffee yoghurt
250g Cyclops unsweetened low fat yoghurt

Method
In a small bowl, place breadcrumbs, sugar, drinking chocolate, coffee powder and alcohol or hot water, mix to combine. In separate bowl, mix coffee yoghurt with plain yoghurt. In a glass serving bowl or individual glass serving dishes place 1/3 of the crumb mixture in a layer across the bottom. Add 1/3 of yoghurt mixture, then repeat layering 2 more times. Top with some extra drinking chocolate or some finely grated chocolate. Serve with fresh, tinned or frozen berries.

NB This dessert is best made the day before.

Hi Coalrange, haven't dropped in for a while, went to Hawaii on my own, 'cause the Twilight Express forgot to pick me up. Wanted to let you know it not called unpicking, its called reverse stitching and I know because i am an expert at reverse stitching.

franny8 - 2010-01-03 01:11:00

Goodmorning all :)
Franny 'reverse stitching' wow thankyou thats clever, oooooh i learnt how to do that without googling hehe that sounds so much better :)
Awww Franny why did you go to Hawaii all by yourself we were waiting for you all to come in here and nobody turned up :(
hope you had sunscreen on !

coalrange1 - 2010-01-03 07:33:00

FourWorms and the lesson to be learned!

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.

The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.

The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.

The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol - Dead.

The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead

Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead

Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.

So the Minister asked the congregation -

What did you learn from this demonstration?

Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,
'As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!' That pretty much ended the service.

coalrange check that thread again lol

twilight23 - 2010-01-03 15:30:00

Twilight its really really nice, what a lot of work, the squares look great. i think i would totally mix up all the colours - 1 light 1 bright 1 light 1 bright maybe, i do love it :)

coalrange1 - 2010-01-03 16:12:00

yeah i put a row of bright at the top, will go and change it

twilight23 - 2010-01-03 16:55:00

Hi Twilight, can I make what I hope is a positive comment. The colours are fabulous and look wonderful, you are clever, but I think the layout would look heaps better if you rearranged to make into diamonds, do you know what I mean. You have some lovely ones which with 2 blocks together make the top of the diamond but then it sort of loses it.
