Success! And a tasty dessert/coffee party...
Well last week we participated in the 48 Hour Film Project. Friday night you
go downtown to the kick off and they draw team names out of a hat to assign you your genre. We drew Mockumentary. The only one we wanted less was Musical! lol They give you a character name and occupation, a prop, and a line of dialogue that all have to be included in the film. This time around the character was a mortician named B. Toddling, the prop was a pencil sharpener, and the line was "I can't take much more of this." You then have 48 hours to assemble a cast and crew, write the short, film it, score it, edit it, and get it to the headquarters. My husband and brother in law got it there with only 15 seconds to spare! My husband, who was the director, came up with the idea...The Legend of Boris, a Russian who came to San Diego to be a world class surfer...except he can't swim. For anyone who's curious, I hope to get it online soon. Anyway, Thursday was the showing, which took place at the Ken theater in Kensington. It was exciting to see it on the big screen, and it was very well received, which made it all the more fun. It was late when we finally got home, so we decided we'd celebrate this coming weekend. I'd like to do a coffee/dessert party, since it will be after 8:00 p.m. to accommodate everyone's schedule. Coffee, I have a good handle on. I make tons of coffee drinks. What I'd like ideas on is the dessert list. So far I already plan to make Barb's brownies and my mom's oatmeal/chocolate/caramel bars. What else should I serve? I'd like a couple choices that aren't cookie/bar type desserts. Maybe a pie? I expect there'll be about 20 people including spouses, more if the kids come along. Ideas and recipes (ones you've tried whenever possible please!  ) would bemost appreciated!!! Thanks in advance, kimberly |

From Jamie Utter.. BTW they're in season. Dimitri Fresh Peach Ice Cream Makes about 1 quart 3 medium-size ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups) 1/2 teaspoon juice from 1 lemon Pinch salt 1 cup plus 6 tablespoons sugar 1 1/4 cups whole milk [I only had 2/3 cup of milk in the house so used it and made up the difference with half-and-half] 1 1/3 cups heavy cream 6 large egg yolks 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons vodka 1. Stir peaches, lemon juice, a pinch salt, and 1/2 cup sugar in medium-size nonreactive saucepan to combine; let stand until a pool of syrupy liquid accumulates and peaches soften slightly, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. 2. Position sieve over medium bowl set in an ice-water bath; set aside. Heat milk, cream, and 1/2 cup sugar in medium-size heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steam appears, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off heat. Meanwhile, whisk yolks and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl until pale yellow. Stir half the warmed milk mixture into beaten yolk mixture until just blended. Return milk-yolk mixture to saucepan of remaining warmed milk mixture. Heat milk-yolk mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with wooden spoon until steam appears, foam subsides, and mixture just begins to thicken or instant-read thermometer registers 180 degrees F (mixture must not boil or eggs will curdle). Remove from heat, and immediately strain custard into prepared bowl. Cool custard mixture to room temperature, stir in vanilla, then cover and refrigerate until instant-read thermometer registers 40 degrees F, at least 2 and up to 24 hours. [I made the custard the day before I froze it, a good idea generally, and let it cool in the fridge all night and most of the next day. I didn't bother to measure the temperature.] 3. Meanwhile, heat softened peaches and their liquid, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until peaches are tender and flesh has broken down, 3 to 4 minutes. [The idea is to soften the peaches so they won't be rock hard when the custard is frozen. You don't want them completely cooked because you want to preserve the fresh peach flavor.] Transfer to bowl, stir in vodka, and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 and up to 24 hours. [The addition of the vodka is again for the texture of the frozen peaches.] 4. Strain chilled peaches, reserving liquid. Stir reserved peach liquid into chilled custard mixture; pour into ice cream machine canister and churn, following manufacturer's instructions, until mixture is frozen and resembles soft-serve ice cream, 25 to 30 minutes. Add peaches; continue to churn until combined, about 30 seconds longer. Transfer ice cream to airtight container. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. |

Thanks, Barb :-) You wouldn't happen to have a recipe for the Lemon Schaum Tortes? Lemon is a big fave, so I think that would be a huge hit. I'm still thinking on the meringues too. I debated chocolate cake, with this awesome cream cheese icing I made...dunno if that'd be too rich. Ahhh so many choices........ kimberly > |

I'd like a couple >choices that aren't cookie/bar type >desserts. Maybe a pie?.... This was my great-grandmother's more frequent addition to family get togethers, and was always "the pie" preferred by all. I do think I am the only one of the grands still to make this: SOUR CREAM APPLE PIE Make pie crust (or ceretainly can use pre-made) and peel about six large green apples. Slice thin and put into the unbaked pie shell. Combine: 3/4 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp. flour, 1/8 tsp. salt, 1 cup sour cream, 1 egg, 1 tsp. vanilla. Beat well and pour over apples. Mix until crumbly: 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of butter. Spread evenly over top of apples. Bake at 350-degrees for about an hour and 15 minutes, or until apples are soft enough that a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Picky ~JA~ |

Also nice as a topping for vanilla ice cream, although it's not a thick syrup. I order it from http://www.linguica.com/ - Gaspar's Sausage Company way up in MA. Much cheaper than ordering it from Autocrat itself, don't ask me why. It's on sale right now, too. Jill |
