You do know how to party!! For your comments, the dancing and singing ecards to the thoughtful emails: thank you. We ended up gathering the usual troops, a.k.a the neighbors and the kids and grilled, drank had a fire and s'mores...and of course cake, which the twins had to adorn with those not so great never ending magical candles...argh!!!

Pana Cotta is probably one of my favorite desserts. Mint Pana Cotta With Blackberry Coulis:Serves 4 1 cup milk1 cup heavy cream1/2 cup sugar1/4 cup chopped fresh mint2 teaspoons powdered gelatin bloomed in 2 Tb water (means to pour the water over the gelatin and let it sit while you prepare the pana cotta) Combine all the ingredients, except the gelatin, in a saucepan over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Blackberry Coulis:2 cups blackberries1/2 cup sugar1 Tb lemon zest. Parmesan-Roasted Butternut Squash. Homemade Turtles! | Twig & Thistle. Here is a recipe I got from my (wonderful) neighbor for quick and easy turtles. I was a bit skeptical when I first saw them but after eating one I was hooked! Seriously, don’t knock em till you try em! These are perfect for an impromptu gathering or a nice treat when you’ve got a craving.

Ingredients:Mini Pretzels Pecan Halfs Rolos That’s it! 1) On a cookies sheet, arrange the pretzels then place a Rolo on top of each one. 2) Remove from the oven and immediately start placing the Pecans on top and pushing them down, squishing the Rolos. 3) Enjoy! Brown butter brown sugar shorties. There are cookies, and there are cookies. There are melted toffee bits and pound-of-chocolate brownie-like discs that require half a glass of milk for a single bite and there are snappy little sables called Punitions. There are peanut butter cookies with chocolate pieces, peanut butter pieces and tiny chunks of peanuts in them and there are toasty little twice-baked shortbreads with scraped vanilla beans inside.

There are pecan squares on shortbread bases boasting nine sticks of butter and two pounds of pecans and there are these: brown butter, brown sugar shorties. Some cookies are packed into tins with truffles and orangettes and shipped to friends around the country and you have other cookies with tea on a cold, windy day. Why? Need I say more?

Bake at your own risk. When Courtney at Under a Paper Moon posted these brownies last week, I knew I was in trouble. I waited to make the recipe until a day when I could pawn them off on the hubster's coworkers, thereby emptying my fridge of their quiet yet incessant siren's call. These brownies are not difficult to make, but they do require time and patience. I encountered near disaster during the marshmallow phase but was able to recover. Find the original recipe here, and see my adjustments below. I learned the hard way that the best method for doing the marshmallow part is to cut the brownies before putting the marshmallows on.

That said, make the graham cracker and chocolate layers and let them cool completely. Set the broiler on low and position the baking sheet as far from the heat source as you can.
