The Cappucino Corral

[Statistikhengst]

Had a massive workout after taking Princess Statalina to school, then I ran some of my business and now will nap for about 30 before dashing to next appt.

Coffee cannot be strong enough today.

I'm trying to think of something quick and easy for dinner. Maybe a grilled cheese sandwich and a tall glass of milk. Am so not in the mood to spend time in the kitchen.

It's a beautiful day, though. Mid-50s with higher in mind.

[Statistikhengst]

If I get fat and wired I blame this thread

You just need a man chasing after you once you've eaten the coffee balls!

Cold rain last night and wind blew in a snow storm this morning.

B-r-r-r-r ...

So, instead of the low-cal chocolate/coffee flavored sorbet recipe I've been working to perfect, I came across this. Won't be making it for us but in case anyone else wants it -


(hmmm ... I wonder if a low-cal version of this is possible ... Whatcha think?)

No Bake Coffee Balls

Author: Jenn

Recipe type: Dessert

These no bake coffee balls are easy to make and freeze well

Ingredients

• 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
• 1¼ cups powdered sugar

2. Add brewed coffee using just enough to moisten.
3. Form mixture into 1¼" balls.
4. Roll balls generously in the ½ cup powdered sugar.
5. Place balls on sheet of waxed paper and let stand until dry (about an hour)
6. Before serving, roll balls again in powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

To store, place in layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months

Okay ... We made the Coffee Balls and

If you make them, I would suggest not rolling them in pwd sugar. Its just too sweet.. Also, we substituted half of the pwd sugar with raw stevia.

Otherwise, pretty good.

55 here yesterday but its not spring for these eagles:

Think spring eagles. Think spring.

More photos and a link to a live cam at the link ^^ .

What a beautiful picture....I hope that eagle is not too cold buried under all that snow....poor thing!

And there are three eggs under there !!

OMG...how do they keep from freezing? I guess momma never leaves the nest during their incubation?

Hello Dajjal, hadn't seen you in a spell. How's the weather in England? We're having some squirrely weather here in the US. In my area it finally is getting warm...should be a beautiful day. I'm ready to take all the covers off my plants....that's how sure I am we won't have any more freezing weather....
