I love peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. They are my fave. I love the homemade variety, but really started to like them back in high school out of the vending machine. They were ā€œGrandmaā€™sā€ brand, I believe. I can never find both peanut butter and chocolate chip together anymore. Itā€™s either Grandmaā€™s Peanut Butter, or Grandmaā€™s Chocolate Chip Cookies. Very odd. I wonder if they were discontinued. Those were some delicious vending machine cookies. ---

You donā€™t want to know. I have some Girl Scout cookies sitting downstairs in my basement freezer, only I gave up peanut butter for Lent, and thereā€™s no way Iā€™m giving in. I made it this long, and I can wait another week. _sigh_ ---

Iā€™m fresh out of lasagna, but Iā€™ve got some meatballs in the freezer. I put cubes of mozzarella cheese inside them so it gets nice and gooey as they cook. ---

There is one thing that I saw said in this chat here sometime ago that I never did address and Iā€™d like to address it now. I donā€™t remember who said this, but someone said in this chat that there is a time and place to talk about the belief that I shared that got **this** chat going in the first place. Well that being said has led me to this question: When **is** the time and place then, especially if suicide is **not** going to be brought up **until** someone has taken their life? God bless you always!!! Holly ---

I wanted to add this to my previous message, but I ran out of editing time, so here it is in this message from me.

And hereā€™s another call out to anyone Iā€™ve missed, or anyone whoā€™d like to post in this thread to say the same damn thing over and over again thatā€™s already been addressed ad nauseum somewhere over almost 40 pages, shoot me a PM.

What I asked earlier still has yet to be answered. If there is a time and a place for a person to share what they believe concerning the subject of suicide, when **is** the time and place then, especially if suicide is **not** going to be brought up **until** someone has taken their life? Also where would you rather a person share their beliefs about suicide? At the funeral of a person who took their life or a public message forum? Which do you think is the lesser of the two?

Chocolate, whipped cream, and booze - how can you lose?! > **[Chocolate Pots de CrĆØme with Gran Marnier](https://tastefoodblog.com/2011/01/09/chocolate-pots-de-creme-with-gran-marnier-recipe/)** > > Pots de CrĆØme are an entertainerā€™s best friend. They may be prepared up to 2 days in advance and are very easy to make. With just a little finesse, and some high quality chocolate, you can beā€¦ Chocolate Pots de CrĆØme with Gran Marnier This recipe requires refrigeration before serving for at least 6 hours. For best results, prepare at least one day before serving. Makes 6 large or 12 small servings. 1 3/4 cups heavy cream 3/4 cup whole milk 6 ounces high quality dark chocolate (70-72%), finely chopped 6 egg yolks 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon Gran Marnier or Cointreau (optional) Gran Marnier Whipped Cream Candied orange peel and/or raspberries for garnish Preheat oven to 325 F. (170 C.) Combine cream and milk in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove and add chocolate, whisking until melted and thoroughly incorporated. Whisk eggs, sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl. Slowly add chocolate to the eggs, whisking constantly. Mix in Gran Marnier if using. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve into another bowl. Blot foam from the top of the chocolate with a paper towel or skim with a spoon. Pour chocolate into demi-tasse cups or 3/4 cup ramekins. Cover each cup with foil. Place cups in a large baking pan. Pour boiling water into the pan until it reaches half-way up the side of the cups. Bake until the chocolate is set but still wobbles in the middle, about 40 ā€“ 50 minutes depending on the size of the cups. Remove and transfer cups to a wire rack; cool. Cover and refrigerate pots de crĆØme at least 6 hours (or overnight). Bring to room temperature before serving. Serve with Gran Marnier Whipped Cream. Garnish with candied orange peel or raspberries. Gran Marnier Whipped Cream: Before serving, beat 1/2 cup heavy cream in bowl of an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Whisk in 2 tablespoons sifted confectionersā€™ sugar and 2 teaspoons Gran Marnier and beat until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overbeat. ---
