Was "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" running through your head at the
time?

*Gawd* that was a tedious song!

OB: Making an oldie but goodie dessert tomorrow night for our dinner
party. Multiples well and makes a nice, light dessert after a heavy
steak dinner::

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Lime Fool With Stawberries And Kiwi

desserts

1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon lime peel; grated
6 ounces white chocolate; such as Lindt
3/4 cup whipping cream; chilled
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups strawberries; sliced and hulled
2 kiwi fruit; peeled, thinly slice
4 whole strawberries
4 lime slices

Bring first 3 ingredients to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Reduce
heat to low. Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Pour into
medium bowl. Refrigerate until cool but not set, stirring
occasionally, about 25 mins.

Beat 3/4 cup chilled cream in another medium bowl to soft peaks. Add
sugar and beat until stiff. Fold cream into white chocolate mixture.

Place scant 1/4 cup sliced berries in each of 4 8 - 10 oz.
wineglasses. Press 3 kiwi slices against sides of each glass. Spoon
1/3 cup cream mixture into each glass. Spoon scant 1/4 cup sliced
berries in center of each, pressing into center so berries do not show
at sides of glasses. Spoon remaining cream over; smooth tops. Cover
and chill at least 2 and up to 6 hours.

To serve, using small knife, make lengthwise cuts in whole
strawberries without cutting through stem ends. Fan 1 strawberry atop
each dessert. Attach lime slice to rim of glass.

To you, maybe.

I thought it was excellent. Yes, the melody was repetitious, but it
told a mysterious and tragic story and changed and evolved with each
verse to reflect the increasing crisis and poignancy. Perhaps you jes
listen to a radio station that repeats a song so relentlessly, one
becomes sick to death of some tunes. BTDT. I no longer listen to
stations like that.

If you run across one, watch a documentary on the whole EF incident.
It's not only a tragedy, but to this day, an unresolved mystery. When
you understand the whole story, the song becomes even more brilliant.

I went to a museum of some sort up around there years and years ago and
I recall there having been something about the Wreck that said it was
the fault of the captain, not the storm.

It's 91F outside right now with the heat index hitting 101F. Luckily the
humidity is only 57% at the moment so the heat index is low for us. Send
rain.
