Happy Birthday Annie!
Comments (50)RR, I got a ladder last year and a wheel barrow the year before that. I could ask for kitchen stuff but because Elery likes to cook, he already has all that stuff and he brings it to my house. (grin) Our latest "acquisition" is a Cuisinart rotisserie, he just finished 35 years with his employer and they let employees pick gift/bonuses from a catalog based on their years of employment. It was one of the bonuses, so it'll be coming here pretty soon, LOL. So I can ask for fence and still play with the cooking stuff, double bonus! Annie...See MoreHappy Birthday, Annie!
Comments (32)I sent my birthday wishes through Elery on Faceook. If he's anything like my DH, he'll forget to tell you! Anyway, back at home again and happy to see you had a good birthday! Sixty is the new fifty or something like that! Enjoy it all and let us know what happens with the White Cloud house sale! Fingers are crossed for a great outcome!...See MoreHappy Birthday Annie Deighnaugh!

Comments (31)AnnT, the Beltline Bar seems like one of those places that never changes, it's been the same forever. Elery and I have been married 10 years and he'd never been there, so it's been that long since I was there. It hasn't changed except they used to have that plaster statue of a rearing horse out front, and now that's gone. I looked for the horse, that was my landmark, and it wasn't there! Elery's middle son, Chris, was talking about restaurants in Grand Rapids and I mentioned that there were hundreds. He agreed, but said that somehow, no matter what he planned, when he was in Grand Rapids he ended up at the Beltline. Not gourmet food, of course, much more American than Mexican, but still good... It was pretty much a perfect day for me, and today I spent the day in the garden, so two days that have made me very, very happy, as well as all the good wishes here. Thank you all again. Annie...See More

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoWell, the verdict is in...I cut in a little early so the chocolate is a little soft. My take on it...eh. No toes curling.
The pie crust...is definitely tender but it's not very flavorful.
The filling was delish when it was warm, toe curling luscious. But now that it's cooled off, it's fine. Not great but fine.
The cream is whipped cream...no surprises there.
The chocolate curls came out fine and were easy to do.
However, there's something very off about the full combo that is a miss. The curls are *very* chocolate, the crust is very bland and the filling is just so so. Somehow the balance of flavors to make the whole dessert work isn't there.
I had filling left over which is in a bowl like a pudding, and I think I may enjoy that more than with the pie crust.
But I have enjoyed making it, enjoyed the licking and picking along the way and am glad that only DH and I have to deal with the results. If it was a dinner party, I'd be disappointed.
It is extremely rich...please don't ask the calorie content!
