[Play 'Jaws' music] March 29th = PASSOVER!!!!
Comments (45)jessyf, I have always just put the mousse into a big trifle bowl. It fits exactly. We put most of the food on a buffet, so I set it out there with some little bowls. I've never tried the cupcake papers, so I couldn't say. If you have the freezer space and tons of little bowls or ramekins, you could freeze individual servings that way. For a flourless chocolate torte, try that one I posted above. It's absolutely fantastic -- we aren't even big sweet eaters or chocoholics, and we were fighting over the last piece -- and VERY easy; you don't even have to separate the eggs. Here is another really great one I used to make: Passover Chocolate Parcel Torte 8 oz. butter/margarine 8 oz. semisweet chocolate chips 8 oz. sugar 8 eggs, separated whipped cream/nuts (optional) Melt butter/margarine with chips; remove from heat. Add sugar; add yolks, one at a time; beat after each. Beat 10 minutes until very thick. Fold in beaten egg whites. Pour 3/4 of the batter into greased and "floured" (with potato starch) pie or spring-form pan. Leave remaining batter in bowl; do not refrigerate. Bake at 325 F 35 minutes; cool. It will fall to form a shell. After cooled, pour in the rest of the batter and refrigerate. Top with whipped cream and/or nuts if desired, but it doesn't need it. You can also make it bigger by using crushed macaroons mixed with melted margarine for the crust....See Moreneed suggestions for soft foods for supper tonight
Comments (26)wow, you guys are awesome. I ended up with a broccoli cheese soup last night = thanks for suggesting it. Woodie, that potato cheese soup looks great, too. I hadn't seen that one yet. I saved it. Jessica, I missed your post yesterday...tell you DS he has company...ugh. lasagna soup is a new one for me! Do you have a recipe? trsinc, great suggestions - I will use the FP to help smooth out some tuna salad! Ellen, I don't know if I've even had risotto! This is the perfect time to try it - I'll look for some today. tricia, I'll pass on your condolences :-) I certainly remember what you went through - I can't imagine. Thanks for the great suggestions. OK, Grace, has Will gotten to you? loads of ice cream - that sounds like a suggestion coming right from him! LOL. Sharon, I have saved that soup recipe - thank you! I would be all over it if the broccoli cheese from last night wasn't very similar. I will wait a few days or so! oh Bri, 8 years? You're the second person in the past 2 days to mention that length of time...ugh. youre menu sounds pretty similar to what we've come up with. I'll grab some canned soup today - so that at least DH and I can eat something normal while he has soup... I'll bet you have a beatiful smile now! Thanks everyone.

Comments (40)My BF was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer 3 1/2 yrs ago and after chemo, radiation, loss of part of his tongue, jaw replacement and throat replacement with muscle from his arm was told he would have to live with a PEG tube for the rest of his life. He refused and learned to down Ensure, aspirating a little each time but swallowing tests show it is not detrimental as he has learned to drink over a sink and he coughs out the last little bit. He has not been able to gain weight beyond 140 lbs (he looks like a stick man) even downing 16 bottles of Ensure a day and eventually adding whey protein powder until I met him. He likes to race in Enduro motorcycle competitions so is high energy. I am an RN and can't stand to see people using Ensure as a meal replacement, it is only meant to be a supplement and other than the vitamins and protein only contains oil and sugar with milk solids. I figured if he could down anything I could get him back to consuming vitamins, fat, etc. through natural foods and put some weight on him. The sugar in the Ensure has also taken a toll on what was beautiful white teeth. He had purchased a Vitamix 5200 (pricey but worth it) to mix another powdered sweet drink he found (can't remember the name) to put weight on. The vitamix will actually dessimate anything you place in it and is so fast it will heat the food so hot that you can't drink it. I have learned to blend the weirdest foods together to get the high calories and the only problem I've had is with the broths/juices/milk you have to add to get it to the very liquid consistency will sometimes dilute the flavors. I literally blend anything I eat for him and he is eating better than ever. I now taste everything (sometimes it sounds like it would be gross) and have been astounded at how flavorful meals can be. He has gained 10 lbs over the last 2 months since I add cheese, butter, use whole milk, and for shakes blend high fat nuts like Macadamia and coconut (he loves) and add to them. I have noticed that chicken and dumplings is his favorite because the base of the soup is all I need to use to thin it so it is full flavor. Also for some reason the italian dishes like spaghetti, lasagna, etc. even when thinned severely with beef broth keep the original taste. White sauces are best thinned with chicken broth and milk (both) and sweet and sour chicken is best thinned with apple juice. He is Jewish so when we made potato latke's I put the apple sauce and sour cream in and thinned with apple juice and milk and it tasted almost just like mine in a liquid version. One potato latke thinned equalled 64 ounces so thank goodness he can drink alot! Next time I may add a few potato flakes for extra calories. He has started blending sushi and thins with seafood broth found only at Central Market here. I've done steak with potato including sour cream, butter, bacon bits and thinned one time with milk and another with beef broth and added beef gravy...he loved it! Most of our "soups" come out restaurant quality:-)My next jump is to make steak with Au Jus and Demi Glace to try to get the flavor to come out better. I encourage you all not to be afraid to try different things together and remember that on a liquid diet you need to increase your calories significantly. His Oncologist said he can't believe I've been able to put weight on him but he's defied all of them from the start:-)...See MoreFaucaria tigrina -- "Tiger's Jaws"
Comments (25)I ordered one of these online and it came today with the flower looking to be a bit dried up if not dead entirely (will post a pic once I'm on my laptop). The bloom was brown at the edges and shriveled with little to no yellow coloring :-( All the other plants that came were in perfect condition from a reputable nursery, so I don't think it's a matter of poor quality but rather lack of light from being boxed up during the journey? It was only in transit for 2-3 days max, and I now have it and the rest of the newbies sitting in fairly indirect sunlight to acclamate them back to full/bright sun exposure. Planning to repot in gritty mix within the next day or two, but was wondering if the flower will revive once in its new home, or will a new one begin to sprout in its place?...See More- 25 days agolast modified: 25 days ago
