That good, huh?!?

By
I have never - and I do mean never - had such gushing compliments about cupcakes before. I watched Pia stuff half of the cupcake in her mouth and moan, literally moan, which brought Brian over to steal a bite. My mom, who devoured hers right when she got back from the gym, called to say that that was the best cupcake she's ever had in her entire life; my dad, who waited till after lunch, called and said he didn't understand what my mom was going on about until he tasted it. Their friends tried one and sent a thank you email. All of the guys at Jacob's work think I should open a bakery. But the best response was from our friends to whom I have given a mini-cake for her birthday. Paxton wrote: "Marne lovessssss the cake. I have not tried it yet...waiting for her to not be guarding it."

Really?!? I guess I should have tried one of these cupcakes before I gave them all away.

I posted the cupcake recipe earlier.

Here's the filling...8 oz bittersweet chocolate, 2/3 C heavy cream, 2 T butter, 2 t Bailey's, 4 oz marscarpone cream. Bring the cream to a simmer, remove from heat, add the chocolate, butter, and Bailey's. Let sit for 3 minutes. Whisk till the chocolate is completely melted. Then whisk in the marscarpone. Cool.

And the frosting...8 T butter, 4 C confectioners' sugar, 8 T Jameson's whiskey.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
