I know you will be comforted to hear that the gator can't be sold for food. Hmmm...I wonder why? What's hilarious about this video is the way the guy says it with a straight face too. I guess this is one moron that we won't have to worry about now. Heh, heh!
I have just added a new product section to Café Pentimento at Café Press and it is called GREGarious. No, not after the plugin, but as a little play on words and first names. I didn’t make it for our son (even though his name is Greg), just for guys named Greg. Visit my other shops too:
My sister-in-law Kathy made this mousse for Thanksgiving one year and it was the hit of the desserts!
She gave me the recipe, so I am sharing it with you!
Pumpkin-HazelnutMousse
Prep and cook time: About 45 minutes plus at least 4 hours chilling time. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
1 cup sugar
1 envelope (2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/4 cups milk
2 cups sour cream
1 can (16 oz.) pumpkin
1/2 cup hazelnut-flavor liqueur (optional)
3/4 cup whipping cream
6 to 8 hazelnuts, crushed
1. In a 2- to 3-quart pan, mix 7/8 cup of the sugar (reserve remaining sugar), gelatin, cinnamon, and ginger. Add 1/2 cup of the milk; stir often over medium-high heat until milk is steaming. Add remaining milk, sour cream, pumpkin, and liqueur (if using).
2. Set pan in ice water and stir often until mixture just begins to set, about 20 minutes (if mixture is too stiff, stir over low heat to soften).
3. In a small bowl, combine whipping cream and the reserved 2 tablespoons of sugar. Beat with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form; cover and chill 1/3 cup of the cream until serving. Gently fold remaining cream into pumpkin mixture.
4. Divide mousse evenly among 6 to 8 glasses or ramekins (about 1-cup size). Lightly cover; chill until mousse is set, at least 4 hours or up to 1 day. Garnish each with reserved cream and crushed hazelnuts.
