Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Love it!

What is it Connie? A spice or herb blend? I've never heard of it. Sounds like a martini served at a spa....hahahahahaha!!!

Sorry for your loss Joppa. I have to say that when I first moved out here from the Midwest the drivers here in the East scared the daylights out of me!! I couldn't believe the things I saw on the highway on a daily basis. Those antics would have gotten you yelled at, flipped off or beaten up where I...

Oooooooo P-600 - Could you post the recipe for the Bailey's truffles again? Or at least tell me where to find the other thread? Minde - Did you try making and freezing your cookies? How did that work out for you? CG - Did you ever try that recipe for the Coffee Toffee Bars? I curious whether that wa...

djmom- You can surprise ME that way anytime!

I just remembered another great place in the Quarter for breakfast - The Coffee Pot. There's a waitress there....can't think of her name but something like Miss Gloria....who gets on your case if you put your elbows on the table or anything like that. She's a hoot!

Minde - Why not St John? Serendip condos is still running a special - $550/week for a studio and $750/week for a one bedroom. My daughter stayed there earlier this month when we went to St John and I went in to see what they were like and I was pleasantly surprised. The one bedroom had a king bed in...

Minde - not the hard candy.Back in the 50's and 60's there were chocolate mints that were the same shape as nonpareils only without the little white sugar sprinkles.I'm showing my age talking about the old candy counters in the dime store or the department store. Then Brach's started putting that ki...

CG - Here's the mint cookie recipe. It was originally done with Rockwell mints or I think Brach's also had something called Starlight Mints that came in a little box at the grocery store. Remember those? Starlight Mint Surprise Cookies Recipe #143064 | 25 min | 15 min prep | add private note These c...

Mindy - It sure revolutionized MY baking! I started doing this last year because I was having to bake multiple kinds of cookies each week for various functions...ie. Christmas party one weekend, church bake sale the next, another party the following weekend, etc., etc. right up until New Years. Now ...

Great CG! Let me know how they are. The picture looks scrumptious and any time someone says the recipe card gets worn out you know it's a good one! Off to mix up some cookie batters to freeze. I think I'll do Italian anise cookies and maybe molasses or peanut butter cookies next. Tomorrow it's on to...

Thanks NTL - I can't remember the name of the place near Crepe Nanou. The menu was posted on the window so we checked it out while waiting for the girl-child to show up at Crepe Nanou. (She's ALWAYS late.) The menu looked very nice and there were LOTS of people going in and out so it must be good. A...

CG - This looks like it might be the one! The picture looks similar to a chocolate chip cookie bar which sounds like what you're describing.

OOooooo yum!! I LIKE this thread! When we traveled to St John earlier this month my husband had 26 pounds of boneless prime rib stuffed in our luggage! (There were 11 of us...but that's still alot of beef.) We also had another soft sided cooler full of boned turkey breasts, homemade meatballs, bacon...

No, never heard of Coffe e Toffee Bars. I used to make something called Toffee Bars years ago that were graham crackers with a mixture of Grape Nuts and a sugar syrup poured over them and baked so that they got crunchy like toffee. That isn't what you're talking about is it? They sound weird but the...
